 This is it: if you follow a plant-based nutrition program to reduce your total cholesterol level to below 350 mg/dL and the LDL level to less than 80 mg/dL, you cannot deposit fat and cholesterol into your coronary arteries. Period.
And although some patients may need cholesterol-lowering drugs to help them achieve those safe, low cholesterol levels, drugs alone are not the answer. Nutrition is the real key to saving your life in the long term. Eating the right way not only will help reduce your cholesterol levels, but also can work additional wonders you may never have imagined. |

| And 100 g of peas contains 30 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin K, an important vitamin that helps anchor calcium to the places in the bone where you need it to be, thus making this vitamin an essential part of a nutrition program for bone health.
Dried peas don't hold their shape as well as the fresh (or frozen) peas, and their taste is a little more earthy than the sweeter fresh ones. They're best used in purees, soups, and dishes that need some thickening. |

| He was committed to my nutrition program, and began to follow it that very day.
After three or four months, Don Felton's chest pain eased. He no longer had to sleep propped up by pillows to ease the angina, which had been much worse when he lay down flat. And about seven months after he started the program, he mentioned that he had been so focused on his heart that he had forgotten to tell me about his leg: he now was able to walk across the skyway to my office without stopping—without a single stab of pain. |
| A few years ago, I was on a cruise ship giving a presentation about my nutrition program and its dramatic results in patients with severe coronary artery disease. Toward the end a man in a straw hat approached me, and near tears, with audible anger in his voice, said, "I've been doing everything my doctor told me to, and now I have to have a second bypass. I can't believe no one told me there was another option!"
That's the point of this book: to tell the world what I have learned. |
| Now in his mid-eighties—well past the sixty-seven-year life expectancy for male Murphys—Jerry Murphy thinks my nutrition program represents a more natural way of eating, a return to healthier ways of the past. "It made sense to me," he says, citing his Irish ancestors, who may have killed the fatted calf once a year, but who subsisted primarily on a low-fat, plant-based diet.
Each of us has friends, family, and acquaintances who are the victims of coronary disease. These people are often vigorous, in the prime of life, when they are struck down by a heart attack. |
| Immediately, Joe embarked on my nutrition program, refusing to take any cholesterol-lowering drugs, and he redefined the word commitment. He stuck to the plan rigorously, eventually reducing his total blood cholesterol count to just 89 mg/dL and cutting his LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, from 98 mg/dL to 38 mg/dL.
About two and a half years after Joe adopted a strict plant-based diet, there came a point when he was exceptionally busy professionally, under considerable stress, and he noted a return of some discomfort in his chest. |

 There are also no supplements that provide the proclaimed results if they are not part of a balanced routine that includes exercise and a low-calorie nutrition program. Literally, every product will carry these disclaimers. It's the ultimate lie.
There are two categories of products marketed to sell this lie — thermogenic aids and appetite suppressants. Thermogenic aids claim to increase your metabolism to cause your body to burn more calories when at rest. Examples of thermogenic aids are the caffeine in coffee and teas, and natural compounds such as guarana and ephedra. |

 I then add additional optimizers to this basic cellular nutrition program according to the seriousness of each individual case. Other than grape-seed extract, the optimizer I recommend most is CoQlO. It is not only a potent antioxidant but it is also essential for the creation of energy within the cell. In addition CoQlO is a very important nutrient in enhancing the immune system.
[Note: CoQ10 is difficult to absorb. |
| I believe the cellular nutrition program that I present in Chapter 17 will help the individual who is healthy accomplish his goals for brain health and preservation. If you are already concerned about a decline in your ability to remember things or have a strong history of Alzheimer's in your family, you may want to add some additional nutrients that I call optimizers. These are those antioxidants that are known to cross over this blood brain barrier readily, such as grape-seed extract. See Chapter 17 for more details, or, if you are especially concerned, consult me at my website, www. |

 Professor Charlie Engel, who was then the head of the Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition at Virginia Tech, had considerable interest in developing an international nutrition program for malnourished children. He was interested in implementing a "mothercraft" self-help project in the Philippines. This project was called "mothercraft" because it focused on educating mothers of malnourished children. |

 However, diabetics wishing to go on a nutrition program should seek professional help, because the treatment can be quite complicated and may require adjustment of medications. In addition, as I pointed out in the previous chapter, some diabetics have weak kidneys and must proceed with extreme caution. When these considerations are taken into account, nutritional therapy can help most diabetics lead healthier, and possibly longer, lives. |

The word radical better describes the typical American diet, which guarantees that millions will perish from withering vascular systems. And in my experience, patients who realize that they have a clear choice—between invasive surgery that will do nothing to cure their underlying disease and nutritional changes that will arrest and reverse the disease and improve the quality of their lives—willingly adopt the dietary changes. |

Douglas Besharov and Peter Germanis of the American Enterprise Institute and the University of Maryland have placed each of these programs in the context of what the others offer.

 But not all these tests provide useful information to help you build up your nutrition program. To be accurate, any vitamin or mineral test must reflect the ability of the nutrient to function in the body. For example, iron is a vital constituent of red blood cells; it helps carry oxygen throughout the body. By measuring the iron status in your cells, it is possible to get a good measure of your iron needs. |

| People in the Special nutrition program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) had significantly less added sugar in their diets than did food stamp participants. The WIC program, also for low-income individuals, supplies juices and cereal to participants.
One cannot conclude from these studies that having more healthy foods in poor areas would eliminate the obesity problem, but limited access is likely contributing to obesity and improved access to healthy foods may help. Further, assessing blame to the poor for demanding unhealthy foods is not justified. |

"Sugar Disease" and Your Heart
Most people nowadays know that diet is one effective way to prevent heart disease. Many have already made major adjustments in their diets to lower the cholesterol count. Still, many others are baffled and disappointed because they have switched to a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet but are not getting the expected results. |
| Simply that they should take their cardiovascular health just as seriously as men, and should pursue an exercise and nutrition program that will reduce the risk. While women tend to suffer from heart problems later in life than men, the basic groundwork of health or disease is laid at the same time. Also, given the special risks for Syndrome X, or microvascular angina, women should investigate recurring chest pain or anginalike symptoms and not let them be dismissed too easily. We now know that even a negative angiogram doesn't mean there can't be cardiovascular problems. |
| Everyone knows her success story, her conversion from the diet pills and the diet fads of the sixties to the exercise and nutrition program that made her a best-selling author and a limber model for her own exercise videos.

And women are much more likely than men to decide they simply have to eat certain foods. Women who experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) describe irrational tastes for certain foods—predominately chocolate—just before they get their periods. These cravings could be attributed to monthly changes in taste sensitivity, says Robin Kanarek, Ph.D., professor of psychology and physiological psychologist at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. |

 Jarvis put the dogs on a relatively simple nutrition program. When they were not hunting they were to receive one teaspoon of kelp and one tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar in their rations every day. And when they did go out hunting, these amounts were doubled.
After three years of careful monitoring, the results were astonishing. Those dogs receiving the kelp and apple-cider vinegar every day hardly ever tired and were good for up to ten hours of steady hunting. Other dogs without it were only good for about three hours before they became pooped. |
