Gary Nulls Ultimate Anti Aging Program Gary Null, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts

As I've already explained, carbohydrates—especially the complex carbohydrates found in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, for example, rather than the simple carbohydrates found in white breads, pastas, cakes and cookies, ice creams, candies, and soft drinks—and proteins—especially from vegetable sources—are preferable to fats. You can have a huge bowl of rice and sauteed vegetables and feel totally satiated for far fewer calories than are in a fast-food cheeseburger with extra mayo and a side of fries. I recommend eating six small meals per day rather than the traditional three squares.

Cardiovascular disease High rates of potassium intake are associated with protection from cardiovascular disease, including stroke, in people in both developing and industrialized countries who eat diets high in unrefined whole grains and vegetables.

INSTRUCTIONS Fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes are rich sources of this vitamin.

We don't eat enough whole grains, fruits, and vegetables— excellent sources of vitamin B6 and folic acid. Instead, we eat enormous amounts of refined, denuded grains, and consume considerable quantities of sugar-laden foods and animal protein, which deplete the body of B complex vitamins, particularly B6. Other reasons for problems with methionine include the aging process. Nutrient levels tend to decline with age as the body becomes less efficient. We know that many vitamins and minerals—including B6 and folic acid—are present in lower quantities in the elderly than in younger people.

We eat too much fat, sugar, and processed foods, and too few whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. I would like to share some information and the growing proof that these factors influence AD/HD occurrence. The processed foods we love are loaded with over 2,800 additives that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as of June 1998. In addition, five million pounds of antibiotics and hormones are used each year to make animals grow faster and produce more milk. Common sense tells us that the overload of these items provided by the standard American diet cannot be good for us.

The use of wheat bran, rice bran, corn bran, or oat bran fiber, along with whole grains and vegetables, is extremely important in restoring proper intestinal transit time and reducing the risk of colon cancer. Burkitt suggests 3 to 4 tablespoonsful of bran fiber a day. However, this amount should not be included in your diet if you have consumed a low-residue diet for some time, as it can induce diarrhea and gas. The fiber should be slowly added to the diet in beverages or cereals or breads, until the proper level is achieved. Meat.

The anti-candida diet is virtually identical to diets used to treat the condition of hypoglycemia (chronic low blood-sugar), and is very similar to the popular and effective Atkins diet for treating obesity.

Safe Food: Eating Wisely In A Risky World Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., Lisa Y. Lefferts and Anne Witte Garland See book keywords and concepts

Since fresh produce and whole grains are so important to a good diet, the last thing you want to worry about is whether there are doses of pesticides in the spinach you're serving with dinner, the whole-wheat toast you had for breakfast, or the orange you tucked into your child's lunch box. Unfortunately, though, there is reason to be concerned.

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.

Avoiding pesticides and additives in food won't protect you from heart disease and cancer if you still consume too much fat and cholesterol, sodium, and alcohol; eat too few fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; or if you smoke cigarettes—all of which pose greater risks to your health. The first step to reducing food-related risks is to take a good, hard look at your diet, and start making any necessary changes today. (For practical suggestions on eating a more nutritious diet, see "Nutrition: Safe Food/Healthy Food," page 23.) 2. Choose safe food.

Inositol This substance is a B vitamin found in lecithin, brewer's yeast, liver, wheat germ, and whole grains. The body creates inisotol from glucose so it is always available. Alzheimer's Disease Recent research has suggested some new uses for inositol. It may improve language and orientation in Alzheimer's Disease patients given 6000 mg. daily. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Patients taking 18 grams of inositol daily for 6 weeks exhibited significant improvement in symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (Amer. Journal of Psychiatry vol 153, page 1219-1221, 1996.

Many foods contain magnesium, which is found primarily in green vegetables but is also present in wheat germ, soybeans, milk, whole grains, seafood, figs, corn, apples and oil rich seeds and nuts.

Include in the diet those foods that are rich in vitamin A and vitamin C. Beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A, is found in many fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, spinach, tomatoes, apricots, peaches, and melons. This nutrient is thought to help reduce carcinogenesis.
