See book keywords and concepts |  By contrast, in a recent study on the relationship between dietary fats and the risk for Alzheimer's disease, researchers were surprised to learn that the natural, healthy fats can actually reduce the risk for Alzheimer's by up to 80 percent. The study showed that the group with the lowest rate of Alzheimer's ate approximately 38 grams of these healthy fats every day, while those with the highest incidence of this disease consumed only about half of that amount.

Women who frequently ate peanut butter (although peanuts are technically a legume, not a nut) reduced their risk of type 2 diabetes by nearly 20 percent compared with women who rarely ate peanut butter.
Combine water, lentils, onion, turmeric, and cayenne in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for about 30 to 45 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. |

The Fallacy That Cholesterol Causes Heart Disease
As I've already mentioned, in the early 1980s, after taking care of hundreds of diabetics who were having heart attacks, helplessly watching my ailing diabetic mom, and getting further nutrition education, I realized that the American public—and even doctors—were being improperly educated. | | They helped teach me that the best diet of all is one that includes a little protein at every meal, along with some healthy fats and low-glycemic-load carbohydrates such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. I became a broccoli addict overnight. It's also best to really restrict foods made with white flours such as bread, bagels, crackers, and pasta.
When my patients ate this way, their triglyceride levels fell, their HDL (the "good" cholesterol) increased, their blood pressure went down, and they began losing weight. | | Eat ample protein, plenty of fresh vegetables, low-sugar fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, some whole grains, and healthy fats." m "Take these herbs, vitamins, and supplements."
Sure enough, my doctor's prediction came true within weeks.
After following his advice to shun sweets and quickie carbs and enjoy nourishing foods, my life miraculously changed. All 44 of my dreaded symptoms totally disappeared!
Quite remarkably, soon after kicking sugar, I became full of zest, verve, spunk, vitality, enthusiasm, optimism, and joie de vivre. | | Instead she had meals and snacks with protein, healthy fats, vegetables, some low-sugar fruits, and whole grains. Within days, her health dramatically improved.
"Eating right banished all my symptoms including depression and mood swings," she marvels. "It even helped me get rid of my constant hunger and excess weight. And I've discovered a whole new world of tasty, healthy foods."

DHEA. The hormone dehydroepiandrosterone is the precursor to estrogen and testosterone. In the 1990s, it became a popular supplement because it often boosted energy levels, increased muscle, and improved libido and sexual performance. In a recent study, researchers used large amounts of DHEA to successfully treat middle-aged men and women with major depression. The subjects also had increases in sexual activity. | | They depend on vitamins, minerals, protein, healthy fats, and a small amount of high-quality carbohydrates.

Nuts are also a rich source of fiber. And they are low in saturated fat (less than 7 percent) and high in unsaturated fat (from 40 to 60 percent).28 The fat in nuts is particularly valuable because some of this fat is plant-derived omega-3 fat. This is the same kind of healthy fat discussed above as coming from fatty fish like the SuperFood wild salmon. |

See book keywords and concepts | | As I mentioned earlier, if you don't have some fat in your salad dressing, you won't get the most nutritional bang for your buck from those great green leafies or luscious lycopene tomatoes. And healthy fats also help you lose weight. In one study people were divided into two groups. One group ate a Mediterranean diet that included a moderate fat content of 35 percent. The other group was on a low-fat diet with only 20 percent of calories from fat. After 6 months both groups lost about the same amount of weight. But the real change came after 18 months. | | The SuperFoodsRx Diet includes healthy fats delivered through the your foods themselves such as in nuts, beans, lean turkey, and wild salmon and also only small, but powerfully healthy amount of added fats like olive oil.

Take a look at the time—is it nearing a mealtime? | | In one study on mice, researchers found that subjects fed varying types and amounts of fat benefited most from a diet of healthy fats. Indeed, in this study a high-saturated fat diet induced obesity, and the group fed omega-3 fats (after a period of eating saturated fats) saw a complete reversal of the weight gain that had been induced by the saturated fat, even though caloric intake was constant on both types of fat.19 The group fed omega-3 fats experienced both reduced fat and reduced leptin levels. |

See article keywords and concepts |  The first practical thing, then, that you can do is switch from all the unhealthy fats in your diet to healthy fats. That means giving up all fried foods, because all fried fats are unhealthy fats containing alarming quantities of trans fatty acids. So give up your fried foods and switch to raw foods or baked foods. You should also give up cheap fats such as the low-cost vegetable oils found in the grocery store, and move to the more expensive fats, such as cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. This is one of the cases where extra money goes a long way in protecting your health. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Many women are fearful of eating more nuts due to their fat and calorie content, but nuts actually contain healthy fats, as does olive oil. Higher amounts of nuts are associated with cardioprotective effects. Increased intake of walnuts in particular, with their alpha-linolenic acid content, appears to have a triglyceride-lowering effect.57 In addition, beneficial oils in nuts help to decrease inflammatory markers associated with CVD risk, such as C-reactive protein (CRP). | | This includes general considerations such as a diet rich in whole natural and unprocessed foods, with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, seeds, nuts, and healthy fats, and low in saturated fats, fried foods, white flour, alcohol, sugar, and salt.
The Value of Soy. One of the important dietary recommendations for all menopausal women may be to increase foods that are high in phytoestrogens, although their benefits may be more for preventing osteoporosis, heart disease, and even breast cancer than for the relief of menopause symptoms such as hot flashes. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In light of that, my dietary recommendations are straightforward: greatly reduce or avoid all caffeine, eliminate sugars and refined carbohydrates, and eat more protein, healthy fats, and high-fiber nonstarchy vegetables.
Drinking too many caffeine beverages increases our jittery, anxious feelings. One way it does this is by raising levels of lactate in the body, which promotes anxiety. Vitamin B3 enhances the breakdown of lactate.
One or two cups of coffee a day are not a problem for most people. Yet five to ten cups daily can be, as can fewer cups of a high-caffeine brew, such as Starbucks. |

¦ Take 500 mg of chlorella or other algae products at bedtime, as a source of tryptophan. | | Eat More Whole Foods
You can't go wrong with a whole foods diet based on whole grains, vegetables and fruits, good protein sources, and healthy fats. This type of diet will provide you with the vitamins and minerals you need to reestablish regular, restorative sleep, as well as overall health and well-being. |
Mike Adams
See book keywords and concepts |  Of course, that's a simplification of the causes, since you have to distinguish between healthy fats and unhealthy fats. But at least the name FFCD gives patients a better idea of what's actually going on, rather than naming the disease after a symptom, such as high cholesterol.
You see, the symptom is not the disease, but conventional medicine insists on calling the symptom the disease because that allows it to treat the symptom and claim success without actually addressing the underlying causes, most of which remain a complete mystery to modern medicine. |

See book keywords and concepts |  They're packed with good nutrition in every bite and every calorie—protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and other important nutrients. In our opinion, the most nutrient-dense foods are fish, chicken, lean meats, and vegetables.
In contrast, nutrient-poor foods contain mostly sugars and sugarlike carbohydrates that provide few, if any, other nutrients. If you're interested in being healthy, it shouldn't be difficult to choose between nutrient-dense and nutrient-poor foods. | | To correct these undesirable patterns, you must make a point of eating only healthy fats. (Brief definitions are in order. Both fats and oils are more technically referred to as fatty acids. Fats are solid and oils are liquid at room temperature.)
For cooking, use only extra-virgin olive oil and macadamia nut oil, which are high in anti-inflammatory omega-9 fats and relatively low in omega-6 fats and saturated fats. If you need oil for cooking at high temperatures, "light" olive oil and macadamia nut oil have higher smoke points and should work fine. | | Primary protein sources include the following:

The ancient diet of human beings consisted of whole foods, and this type of diet is what we're best suited for, biologically. In the distant past, nothing was refined or processed, and no foods came in boxes, cans, bottles, jars, or bags. There weren't any fast-food restaurants, fattening snacks, or rich desserts to tempt people. Our ancestors hunted for meat and gathered vegetables and plants. |
