Extractions: Decreases Attributed to Improved Diets, Quitting Smoking, and Other Lifestyle Changes Researchers at HSPH and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) found a 31 percent decline in coronary heart disease (CHD) in a group of nearly 86,000 women followed over 14 years. A thorough analysis of the group's diet, lifestyle, and medical history indicated that most of this improvement is due to improving diets, quitting smoking, and using postmenopausal hormones. During the course of the study, participants' consumption of red meat dropped by nearly 40 percent, intake of trans fats dropped by more than 30 percent, and use of high-fat dairy products decreased by more than 40 percent. These changes were complemented by increases in consumption of cereal fiber, folic acid, and fish. Simultaneously, the smoking rate declined by 41 percent and the proportion of postmenopausal women using hormone therapy increased almost two-fold. However, these gains achieved through healthy behaviors were somewhat offset by gains in weight: the number of overweight participants increased by 38 percent.

Nutrition Help Low Grain and Carbohydrate Diets Treat Hypoglycemia, Heart Disease, Diabetes Cancer and Nearly ALL Chronic Illness. by Joseph Brasco, MD Page 2 References Unfortunately, the debate over the validity of this concept has primarily been waged in the media and lay publications and not in the scientific journals. Many of the popular books which support this position are gimmicky, and often, lack adequate scientific referencing. Yet, at their core is very important concept limiting the intake of carbohydrates, (especially as cereal grains and starches), will improve human health. Some critics claim that reduced carbohydrate diets are a fashion trend. Well, this so called trend actually dates back some time. Anthropological study of early hominids has concluded that they lived as hunters-gathers. While nuts, seeds, vegetation and fruit made up an important part of the hunter- gather's diet, his mainstay was hunted or scavenged animal prey. More recent evaluations of early man's nutritional patterns by Dr. Loren Cordain, estimate that as much as 65 percent of his calories were derived from animal products. Granted, early man was not eating corn fed Angus beef from Jewel, but he was eating the meat, the organs and the bones of his prey. Essentially, a high protein/fat diet. It was a mere 10,000 years ago (or less) that man began exploiting an agricultural niche.

Extractions: WebMD Medical News Feb. 7, 2003 Research supporting high-protein diets keeps rolling in. And in the latest study, researchers suggest the key to losing fat and maintaining muscle can be found in one ingredient in protein-rich animal foods. Since high-protein foods, such as meats, are often loaded in harmful saturated fats, some experts suggest shunning them to reduce both the waistline and heart disease. But in practice, these plans often translate to excess intake of the simple carbohydrates that boost risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. So the experts continue to try to determine the ideal combination of calories that should come from protein, carbohydrates, and fats for Americans hungry for weight-loss answers.

http://familydoctor.org/handouts/288.html

Extractions: Nutrition and Exercise: Healthy Balance for a Healthy Heart How does what I eat affect my heart? The food you eat can affect the way blood flows through your heart and arteries. A diet high in fat and cholesterol can gradually cause a buildup (called "plaque") in your arteries. That buildup slows down the blood flow and blocks small arteries. If the blockage happens in an artery that carries blood to the heart muscle, the heart muscle can die. That's a heart attack. If the blockage happens in an artery that carries blood to the brain, part of the brain can die. That's a stroke (also called a brain attack). The right diet helps keep your arteries clear and reduces the risk of heart problems and stroke. Keeping your heart healthy by watching what you eat isn't as hard as it sounds! Tips for a heart-healthy diet Eat less fat (especially butter, coconut and palm oil, saturated or hydrogenated vegetable fats such as Crisco, animal fats in meats, fats in dairy products). Use nonstick vegetable oil cooking sprays instead of oils.

Extractions: January 17, 2003 At one time, the only dietary strategy people trying to lower their heart disease risk had was to cut back on fat and cholesterol. But recent research has shown that many other dietary factors may influence the development of heart disease. A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association identifies what may be the most effective dietary strategies for preventing heart disease. Reviewing previous research Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health reviewed 147 previously published studies that investigated the effects of various dietary factors on heart disease risk, including cholesterol, total fat, omega-3 fatty acids, trans fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, carbohydrates, glycemic index, fiber, and folate. Some of the studies looked at overall dietary patterns, such as diets in which saturated fat is replaced with unsaturated fat or those that emphasize whole grains over refined grain products. The Harvard researchers evaluated the results of each study for relevance and quality, paying particular attention to different studies that produced either consistent or conflicting results.

Extractions: November 7, 2000 (Reviewed: February 2, 2003) Introduction Consider it the "T-shirt and jeans" of the nutrition world: the simple, familiar advice to adopt a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish, and poultry. But can focusing on foods such as these really pay off? Results from a pair of studies conducted by two groups of Harvard researchers add weight to the evidence that diet does indeed matter. Both studies, recently reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, examined the effect of food choices on participants' risk of developing cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. To examine the health impact of a high intake of fruits and vegetables, researchers used information on fruit and vegetable consumption obtained from more than 39,000 female health professionals participating in the ongoing Women's Health Study. The researchers divided the women into five groups based on how many servings of fruits and vegetables they ate each day. The occurrence of cardiovascular disease within each intake group was determined by tallying the number of participants who suffered a heart attack or stroke over a five-year period. Results showed that women who consumed anywhere from 4 to 10 or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day had a 20 to 30 % lower risk of cardiovascular disease when compared with those who ate an average 2.5 servings a day.

Websites Key nutrients (antioxidants) such as vitamins C and E, and folic acid are some of your best defenses against heart disease. How do we incorporate important nutrients into our diet? Start by following the basic food pyramid, because it encourages variety in your diet. And variety is the key to a proper nutrient balance for you! A good rule of thumb: Eat from the fruit and vegetable "color palette" each day and include red, green, orange, and yellow. Don't forget to include whole grains and dried beans as well. Soy Protein New "designer" fat substitutes developed from natural plant components that help lower blood cholesterol can be found in several spreads and dressings on the market. These products have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are appropriate to use as part of a balanced diet. Water Drink lots of water to help key nutrients do their job. A diet high in potassium (from bananas, potatoes, other fruits and veggies) is essential for healthy heart muscle contraction; magnesium (from whole grains, nuts, greens) maintains the potassium level in your cells. Keep your sodium intake low and drink plenty of water sweating and most diuretics lower potassium and magnesium, the spark plugs for the heart.

Extractions: Florida Citrus Personal Wellness Plan Cancer Heart Disease Birth Defects Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the link between nutrition and reducing the risk of disease. While most people know that eating the right foods in the proper amounts is essential for good health, a growing body of evidence suggests that certain foods containing vitamin C, fiber, folate and other vitamins and minerals may be especially beneficial to maintaining personal wellness. Hundreds of studies have been conducted on the nutrients found in citrus fruit , including orange juice, and the role these nutrients play in reducing the risk of such diseases as cancer and heart disease, when part of a low fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Florida citrus fruit, which contain essential vitamins and minerals, are an important part of a healthy diet for all men, women and children. In both fresh and juice form, Florida citrus - including oranges, grapefruit and specialty varieties such a temple oranges, tangerines and tangelos - have many important nutritional benefits. Some of these benefits are listed below: An eight-ounce glass of Florida orange juice supplies 100 percent or more of the Daily Value for vitamin C, a valuable "antioxidant". Scientists believe that antioxidants may counteract the harmful molecules called "free radicals," which they believe may contribute to the onset of several major diseases. Vitamin C also helps maintain collagen, the substance that helps the human body repair body tissue.
