| Your mother was right to tell you to eat your vegetables—vegetables, along with fruits and whole grains, are our best sources of vitamins and minerals, complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. Studies have even linked diets rich in these plant foods with lower risks of coronary heart disease and cancers of the lung, stomach, colon, and esophagus. | | And too many refined foods instead of fiber-rich and vitamin-rich vegetables, fruits, and whole grains may cause constipation and diver-ticulosis, and promote cancer of the colon and coronary heart disease.
Fortunately, a very enjoyable, varied and flavorful diet can also be low in fat, cholesterol, salt, and sugar, while providing plenty of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. First, though, you may have to unlearn what you were once taught about nutrition. Remember "balance, variety, and moderation"? That advice was vague enough to include practically anything. |
Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Focus on fiber: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes are fiber-packed foods that are filling without being fattening. The soluble fibers found in these foods are especially effective in curbing erratic swings in blood-sugar levels, which ultimately helps reduce food cravings. Fiber-rich, unprocessed foods are usually low in fat, so you can eat larger quantities of them, chew more, and feel more satisfied. For example, a tablespoon of salad dressing or peanut butter has the same number of calories (100) as more than three cups of salad or air-popped popcorn. |

When we take away the stigma of organic food, the idea that it is bland and tasteless, and let patients taste it for themselves, they find it is easy to shift to organics.
Alternative Heart Therapies_
CHELATION THERAPY Chelation therapy is an alternative therapy that has become especially popular since coronary bypass surgery has been pronounced ineffective for up to 65 percent of the people receiving it. |
William Evans, Ph.D., and Irwin H. Rosenberg, M.D., with Jacqueline Thompson
See book keywords and concepts |  In essence, we want you to eat less like a typical American, who takes his or her diet cues from television commercials extolling fast, convenience foods that are often high in fat, and more like a person who is conscious of the importance of good nutrition and appreciates Mother Nature's bounty of vegetables, fruits, and grains.
Our healthful menu dictates are these (see figure 10-1):
¦ Complex carbohydrates should account for up to 60 percent of your total daily caloric intake. |
Lendon H. Smith, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | With this method the person is to find the right balance of acid-forming and alkalinizing foods to get the pH of those fluids to stay at that 6.5 level. The proper balance in the pH should allow for health as the enzymes work best at the proper pH.
You can buy this pH paper at the pharmacy and test your saliva and urine. The trouble with this method is that fruits and vegetables, cooked or raw, no matter what their initial pH value, will be metabolized eventually to vinegar in the body. Sometimes your system is alkaline but your secretions are acidic—and vice versa. | | If these people have high-sodium and low-vinegar diets, they will have an elevated systolic pressure, but if they eat a well-rounded diet, including fruits and vegetables, and put vinegar on their daily salads, they will be able to reduce their sodium and keep the blood pressure under some control, even getting it down to a normal level.
Some researchers feel it is an immunity problem. Certain chemicals irritate the muscles in the arterioles and constrict them more than necessary to maintain an adequate pressure. | | Many vegetarians are thus because the fruits and vegetables they eat metabolize into vinegar (acetic acid) in the body and this takes sodium out of the system via the kidneys and lowers the pressure.
If your sodium is above 142 mEq/L, you are more likely to have elevated blood pressure, enlarged veins on your arms and hands, and warm hands and feet. You probably like vinegar, and it is safe for you to drink it as long as it tastes good to you. If the results of the blood test show you have a high concentration of nutrients due to low fluid intake, you need to drink an electrolyte solution. |
Frank A. Oski, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Solid foods should gradually be reintroduced into the diet, starting at about five to six months of age. fruits and cereals are usually fed first. Between six and nine months of age vegetables and meats may be offered. Eggs are best saved until last and should be added to the diet between nine months and one year of age. By the time an infant has reached one year most of his nutritional needs can be met by solid foods. Milk is no longer necessary. Juices, which can be begun early in life, provide extra fluid and extra calories in the form of carbohydrates. |
Stanton Peele
See book keywords and concepts |  Once again, we have caught ourselves in the dilemma of psychologizing and diseasing crime while bitterly resenting the fruits of the crime. And well-meaning professional organizations, I fear, will not find that explicating and excusing the emotional states that cause love partners to kill one another will lead to fewer such crimes and victims. |

The excitement about beta carotene surrounds its antioxidant properties. This pharmacological action may help prevent heart disease and even certain cancers. But heavy drinkers, beware. Researchers at the Bronx Veterans Administration Hospital have found that the combination of booze and beta carotene could be hard on the liver. The preliminary studies have been done only on baboons. |
William Evans, Ph.D., and Irwin H. Rosenberg, M.D., with Jacqueline Thompson
See book keywords and concepts | | In general, just try to eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, cereals, and legumes. Limit your consumption of red meats and cold cuts, substituting poultry without skin and fish as often as possible. Avoid fried and other fatty foods. And substitute low-or nonfat dairy products for their whole-milk counterparts. |
Berkeley Holistic Health Center and Shepherd Bliss
See book keywords and concepts | | There are health-food stores which stock protein powders, vitamin and mineral supplements, and so on; but they exclude fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, fish, meat, poultry, and dairy products. There is nothing wrong with supplements in their place, but they cannot be used as substitutes for food. A proper nutritional education will include where and how to shop for food, how to prepare it, as well as when and how to consume particular foods. Again, it's more expedient to pop a pill than to work with a naturopath. Re-education of this sort is time-consuming and expensive. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Seattle, Washington, states that one of the most important nutrients is magnesium, which is naturally found in vegetables and fruits. Although there are a number of effective bulking agents sold in health food stores that help with constipation, Dr. Brown has noted that many people who use them become bloated and still remain constipated. "With these individuals, I usually prescribe a therapeutic dose of magnesium—800 mg daily for adults—and this is often enough to get the plumbing going again. Once this has happened, we can begin work on diet and other bowel conditions," he says.
Dr. | | A whole-foods diet is generously filled with a wide variety of different colored vegetables, fruits, and grains (variations in color are due to various minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients important to health); raw seeds and nuts and their butters; beans; fermented milk products such as yogurt and kefir; and fish, poultry, and bean products like tofu. It should also be lower in animal meats, fats, and cheeses as opposed to low-fat milk products. | | If you cannot buy all organic produce, buy the organic produce that substitutes for the most pesticide-contaminated crops, such as grapes, carrots, and apples, and buy the non-organic fruits and vegetables that are less likely to be laden with pesticides (bananas, pineapple, watermelon, oranges, and tangerines tend to be relatively pesticide-free). If funds are limited, buy all meats and dairy products as organic, because nonorganic meats and dairy have up to 20 times more pesticides than nonorganic vegetables.
Buy seasonal foods. | | Current phytotherapy indicates the use of the standardized extract of its seed (technically, the fruits) for a range of liver and gallbladder conditions, including hepatitis and cirrhosis. A wealth of laboratory and clinical research on this herb reveals its ability to reverse liver damage as well as offer protection from potentially toxic chemical agents. | | Recommendations
• Dysmenorrhea: Eat whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables, and seeds and nuts such as ground, raw flaxseed and pumpkin seed, while avoiding dairy products, saturated fats, salt, alcohol, sugar, and caffeine. Helpful supplements include vitamins B.% B6, and C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and essential fatty acids. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Each year, fishes enter the bottomland forest with the rising waters of the rainy season, and eat the fruits and seeds that drop from the trees. During the rest of the year, when the rivers drop into their channels and the forest emerges from the water, many of these fishes go without food and take care of their reproductive duties. Without the forest, the fishes would have nothing to eat and the human residents would quickly lose their most important source of animal protein. |
Stanton Peele
See book keywords and concepts | | Nonetheless, a tremendous investment has been made in the search for biological inheritances that may cause alcoholism, while many grandiose claims have been made about the fruits of this search. In 1987, almost two-thirds of Americans (63 percent) agreed that "alcoholism can be hereditary"; only five years earlier, in 1982, more people had disagreed (50 percent) than agreed (40 percent) with this statement. Furthermore, it is the better educated who agree most with this statement. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Niacin in grain foods is bound to other compounds and only around 30 per cent is available for absorption. fruits, vegetables and dairy products all contain some niacin as do dates, figs and prunes. Milk and eggs are good sources of tryptophan. Processing of grains removes most of their niacin content so flour is enriched with the vitamin. Niacin is relatively stable to heat and light, and little is lost during cooking. Treating com with lime water, a procedure which is common in Central America and Mexico, increases the availability of niacin. |

See book keywords and concepts | | All B12 in its natural state is manufactured by microorganisms, so it is not normally found in fruits and vegetables. Fermented soybean products such as tempeh, nonfat dry milk, poultry, and meat all contain B12.
Common symptoms of B12 deficiency are motor and mental abnormalities, rapid heartbeat or cardiac pain, facial swelling, jaundice, weakness and fatigue, loss of hair or weight, depression, and impaired memory. Adults need a daily minimum of 30 meg of vitamin B12. If you are a vegetarian, you should include a low-potency vitamin supplement with your diet. |

Modern biologists tend to place fungi in their own kingdom, not in the plant kingdom, because they get their nutrients from other living things (or from the remains of living things that have died) rather than from photosynthesis. (See under "Medicine and Health.") gene A portion of a DNA molecule that serves as the basic unit of heredity. | | Some other sugars are fructose, which is found in fruits; lactose, which is found in milk; and glucose, which is the most common sugar in the bodies of animals and plants.
Symbiosis. Hippopotamus and egret. symbiosis (sim-bee-oh-sis, sim-beye-oh-sis) The process by which two organisms live together, usually to their mutual benefit.

Genesis The first book of the Old Testament; its first words are "In the beginning" (genesis is a Greek word for "beginning"). | | Eden, Garden of The beautiful garden containing the tree of life, where God intended Adam and Eve to live in peaceful and contented innocence, effortlessly reaping the fruits of the earth. The garden also contained the tree of knowledge of good and evil, from which Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat. When they disobeyed and ate the forbidden fruit, God drove them from the garden. Their sin and consequent loss of God's grace and of their paradise is known as the Fall of Man. | | Jesus mentions "true prophets" and "false prophets" — those who present the true message of God, and those who present a counterfeit (see fruits ye shall know them, By their and wolves in sheep's clothing). He himself was considered a prophet in his lifetime (see prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, A), and is still widely revered by non-Christians as a prophet, though not as the Messiah. The New Testament also mentions that some of the early Christians were prophets who spoke inspired messages to their communities. |
