Mediterranean diet
Mediterranean diet
shown to reduce heart disease, landmark study finds By Kay Lazar, Globe Staff
A Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil or mixed nuts can significantly reduce heart attacks, strokes, and deaths from heart problems, according to a study that is the first to demonstrate its benefits in a type of clinical trial considered the most reliable. Spanish researchers tracked thousands of participants over roughly five years and found a 30 percent reduction in the rate of heart disease, primarily strokes, among the Mediterranean diet eaters compared with those who consumed more traditional low-fat fare. That diet included more starch and grains, but fewer nuts and oils. Earlier studies analyzed health outcomes based on participants’ recall of meals and concluded there likely were benefits from a Mediterranean diet. Health and nutrition specialists who reviewed the latest study, published online Monday by the New England Journal of Medicine, said its size, controlled structure, and focus on patients who were already at risk of heart disease offered powerful and much-needed evidence of a protective heart effect from a Mediterranean diet. Dr. Ramon Estruch, a senior consultant at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona who led the Spanish team, said the findings should give physicians confidence to urge patients, particularly those who are overweight or have diabetes or other risk factors for heart disease, to follow a Mediterranean approach. “As a doctor it is easier to say take a pill,” Estruch said.
“But diet is a very powerful effect in protecting against cardiovascular disease.” Estruch’s team enrolled 7,447 people, age 55 to 80, and then randomly assigned them to one of three groups: one that ate a Mediterranean diet that included at least 4 tablespoons a day of extra-virgin olive oil; another that also followed the Mediterranean diet and received roughly 1 additional ounce daily of walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds; and a third, control group that was counseled to eat a low-fat diet that did not include olive oil or nuts. The olive oil included amounts used in cooking, poured on salads, and eaten in meals outside the home. All of the study participants had diabetes or at least three major risk factors for heart disease, such as obesity, high blood pressure, elevated levels of bad cholesterol, or a family history of early heart disease. Drug treatment regimens, such as medications to lower high blood pressure or cholesterol, were similar for those in all three groups. Participants were asked annually to complete questionnaires about their health, leisure-time activities, and their diet. Scientists also tracked participants’ weight, height, and waistline measurements, in addition to testing the urine and blood of those receiving the extra-virgin olive oil and nuts to confirm compliance with the diet. No restrictions were placed on how much food any of the groups could consume.
have, for years, been urged to eat a diet, which eschews red meats and processed food in favor of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, olive oil, and wine, but the advice lacked a rigorous study to prove it prevented heart disease. Now there is one.

Mediterranean diet
PROTEIN is an age-old question that has stumped nutritionists, scientists, dieters, and health conscious individuals for decades. Vegetarians and vegans constantly put up with inquiries as to whether they’re getting enough proteins, and it turns out that regular meateaters may be getting too much protein. Read on to find out more about the basic recommendation for protein intake, and some additional factors to consider when planning your meals.
This
After approximately five years, scientists counted 109 heart attacks, strokes or deaths from heart disease in the control group, which did not eat the Mediterranean diet. By comparison, there were just 83 in the Mediterranean group that ate extra nuts, and 96 in the Mediterranean group that consumed additional olive oil. Scientists said that means that for every 1,000 people who followed the Mediterranean diet, three people each year would avoid a heart attack or stroke because of the diet. “Even the best available drugs, like statins, reduce heart disease by about 25 percent, which is in the same ballpark as the Mediterranean diet,” said Dr. Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. “But the statins increase the risk of diabetes, whereas this diet can help reduce the risk.” Willett said other studies have suggested another benefit of a Mediterranean diet, in reducing the risk of some forms of cancer, such as estrogen negative breast cancer. The new study didn’t examine this aspect. Getting patients to adhere to a Mediterranean diet long term can sometimes be challenging, and Willett suggested that patients consider adding as many components of the diet as possible to their own, perhaps incorporating different spices to add variety. One unanswered question involves the type of extravirgin olive oil used in the study. The scientists noted that they supplied a type of Spanish oil to participants that

had a high level of polyphenols, a naturally-occurring anti-oxidant found in fresh fruits and vegetables that is believed to have heart healthy benefits. Typical refined olive oils have much less of this substance. “How much that extra-virgin olive oil contributed to the heart benefit remains a question not completely answered,” Willett said. Rachel Johnson, a registered dietician who heads the American Heart Association’s nutrition committee, said the findings demonstrate that the dietary advice offered by the association and other health groups is on the right track. “It’s nice to see science validated and reaffirmed with such a strong study design,” said Johnson, Bickford professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont. “We have moved away from the low fat at all cost message. It’s important to include these healthy fats in a diet.” Johnson said she would like to see a follow-up study that included a Mediterranean diet and efforts to control weight with increased exercise to determine if that added component would further reduce heart disease risks. Estruch, the study’s lead author, said his team is planning such a follow-up. Kay Lazar can be reached at klazar@globe.com. Follow her on Twitter @GlobeKayLazar
• The Basics The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that on any given day, roughly 35% of your calorie intake should come from protein. The specific Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of protein varies depending on sex and age group. For females over the age of
19, the CDC says that 46 grams of protein per day are needed for healthy function. For males in the same age range, that requirement is 56 grams per day. These guidelines are certainly useful, but there are additional factors to consider… • Weight and Activity The CDC guidelines are based on the idea that people should take in about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, for a sedentary person. So, while 46 and 56 grams of protein may be the average amount of protein that an individual needs in a day, it’s wise to calculate your own personal RDA of protein depending on your specific weight. And, if you’re particularly athletic, you may need to up your protein intake to between 1.6 and 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight, in order to properly build muscle, compensate for sweat loss, and rebuild your body after a tough workout. Beyond that, your needs may also differ based on the type of exercise you do. Athletes who stick to aerobic exercise should go for 1.41.6 g/kg, and athletes who prefer anaerobic exercises like weight lifting and sprinting should go for a slightly higher amount of 1.41.8- g/kg.

Vitamin D vitamin D. Slathering skin with sunscreen will reduce exposure to ultraviolet-B rays by 95 to 98 percent. But if you make enough vitamin D in your skin in summer, it can meet the body’s needs for the rest of the year, Dr. Holick mentioned. • Can You Get Too Much? acquired naturally through skin, the body’s supply of vitamin D has a built-in cutoff. When enough is made, further exposure to sunlight will destroy any excess. Not so when the source is an ingested supplement, which goes directly to the liver. On the other hand, symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness and weight loss, as well as dangerous amounts of calcium that can result in kidney stones, confusion and abnormal heart rhythms
If • A Common Deficiency lthough more foods today are supplemented with vitamin D, experts say it is rarely possible to consume adequate amounts through foods. The main dietary sources are wild-caught oily fish (salmon, mackerel, bluefish, and canned tuna) and fortified milk and baby formula, cereal and orange juice. As a matter of fact, people in colder regions form their year’s supply of natural vitamin D in summer, when ultraviolet-B rays are most direct. Dr. Michael Holick of Boston University, a leading expert on vitamin D and author of “The Vitamin D Solution”, said in an interview, “We want everyone to be above 30 nanograms per milliliter. The rising incidence of Type 1 diabetes may be due, in part, to the current practice of protecting the young from sun exposure. When newborn infants in Finland were given 2,000 international units a day, Type 1 diabetes fell by 88 percent, Dr. Holick said. Nevertheless, the current recommended intake of vitamin D, established by the Institute of Medicine, is 200 I.U. a day from birth to age 50 (including pregnant women); 400 for adults aged 50 to 70; and 600 for those older than 70. While a revision upward of these amounts is in the works, most experts expect it will err on the low side. Dr. Holick, among others, recommends a daily supplement of 1,000 to 2,000 units for all sun-deprived individuals, pregnant and lactating women, and adults older than 50. Given appropriate sun exposure in summer, it is possible to meet the body’s yearlong need for

Vitamin D promises to be the most talked-about and written-about supplement of the decade. While studies continue to refine optimal blood levels and recommended dietary amounts, the fact remains that a huge part of the population are deficient in this essential nutrient. In fact, the potential consequences of vitamin D deficiency are likely to go far beyond inadequate bone development and excessive bone loss that can result in falls and fractures. Every tissue in the body, including the brain, heart, muscles and immune system, has receptors for vitamin D meaning that this nutrient is needed at proper levels for these tissues to function well. Recently, studies indicate that the effects of a vitamin D deficiency include an elevated risk of developing cancers of the colon, breast and prostate; high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease; osteoarthritis; and immunesystem abnormalities.
What Do You Lack? Probably Vitamin D
Most
people in the modern world have lifestyles that prevent them from acquiring the proper levels of vitamin D. The sun’s ultraviolet-B rays absorbed through the skin are the body’s main source of this nutrient. “As a species, we do not get as much sun exposure as we used

to, and dietary sources of vitamin D are minimal,” Dr. Edward Giovannucci, nutrition researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health. Dr.Edward adds that when a person’s vitamin D level is measured in the blood as 25-hydroxyvitamin D, it›s considered the best indicator of sufficiency.

Banana…
Philosophers Food and Ancient Treasure of Benefits
M
oreover, a lot of findings have shown that banana was widely used in Africa and Madagascar three thousand years ago, then later the Arab and Muslims transferred it to eastern Africa. The broaden of Islam helped in spreading banana in the Middle East region, for Arab and Muslims loved it, and it was said that it possessed a special rank and was mentioned in a number of Prophet Mohamed›s (peace be upon him) speeches (Hadeeth). Also, it is revealed that banana was pointed out in some scripts of Palestine and Egypt dating back to the 10th century. It is believed that the spread of banana started from there to North Africa, then Andalusia or south Spain. At that time, the Arab considered Granada›s banana as the most superior type at all. Nevertheless, Portuguese transferred banana from West Africa to America around the year 1500 A.D. It is said that the origin of the word «banana» comes to West Africa where it is transmitted to English through Spanish and Portuguese.

Long time ago, Indians called banana «Philosophers› Food» because philosophers were fond of it. The Free Encyclopedia adds that the Arabs called it «The Father›s Killer» because when it is ripen, you have to cut it off to sow new one in or near the same place. The encyclopedia adds that banana is considered as the tropical fruit originated in Southeast Asia, Malay Archipelago, and Australia, and was known by the Arabs before Europe through trade. In fact, banana was known in formal Arabic as «Banana›s Fingers (Banan in Arabic)», so it is thought that the English got the word Banana from the Arabic word «Banan» which means fingers. Doctors.com website mentions that Banana belongs to the Banana Family and the word Pantain is given for all the kinds of food that require cooking before eating: it could be cooked in oven, boiled, grilled or fried in oil, or it could be added to soap. It could also be used exactly like potatoes, or could be dried and crushed to make powder such as flour. Banana is the common name for an edible fruit produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants of the genus Musa. The available data indicates that regular and intensive planting of banana started in Southeast Asia. Furthermore, fossils show that it started to be used in Papua New Guinea eight thousand years ago. Meanwhile, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and New Guinea are known for different kinds of wild banana.

Feeding Additionally, the website confirms that banana has around 40 different types with many benefits. First and from a scientific viewpoint, banana is a nutritious material rather than an anti-infection, anthelmintic, or anti-snakebites. It also treats gout, constipation and diarrhea. Second, banana helps in getting rid of the acidity of stomach, prevents arteriosclerosis and activates the brain functions. Also, It is very useful for the educational purposes because it contains potassium and phosphor which enhance memorization and the memory itself. Moreover, it is considered as a laxative, diuretic and kidney stimulant, and it helps in crumbling stones and sand, softening skin, removing freckles and dyes. In India, banana juice and honey are used for different treatments. Besides, it is said that
banana treats depression, for it contains tryptophan protein which turns to serotonin giving the body the feeling of relaxation, comfort and reassurance. Another advantage of banana is that it stimulates the production of hemoglobin to help get rid of anemia and high blood pressure.
CAN YOU DO ANYTHING 300 TIMES WITHOUT A SINGLE MISTAKE?
In addition, doctors advise pregnant women to have banana to avoid nausea and to help in the baby›s nutrition. It is believed that banana›s skin is used for relieving wasps› and bees› stings and other harmful stings as well. Some Asian nations believe that eating banana balance the human body›s temperature, and it was discovered recently that it helps smokers to give up smoking habit, for it contains both «vitamin 6» and «vitamin 12». On the top of the benefits of banana is the effect it causes on the heart. It balances the heart›s beating rhythm, sends oxygen to the brain and harmonizes all the liquids in the human body. In addition to these benefits of that amazing fruit, it also provides the blood with glucose which contributes in relieving the pain accompanied with the menstruation (women monthly period), and prevents around 40% of heart attacks. Anyway, banana has many usages all over the world. For example, in Tamil, Bengal, Karli in India, they use banana as a basic ingredient in many dishes; it could be offered unripe along with some sauce or cooked along with soap and different kinds of curry. These areas, on the other hand, use the inside of the banana›s trunk in cooking as it could be fried with butter. In Malaysia for example, this dish is considered as a very popular meal. In Indonesia and Singapore, they offer banana along with ice cream where the banana is served either fried or grilled with its skin. Also, it could be cooked on steam with rice and sometimes with coconut. In Asia, the banana›s tree leaves are used as umbrellas or for food preservation because the leaves are soft, flexible and resist water. Source: The Free Encyclopedia

Diet • The Cleansing or Detox Diet Claim to Fame: The theory behind this diet is that you need to routinely “cleanse” or “detox” your body to get it into shape. The diet usually involves some combination of fasting, eating small amounts of foods, and/or drinking a concoction of lemon juice with maple syrup and cayenne pepper or whatever is the fad ingredient of the moment. The Real Deal: Your liver is your body’s ultimate cleansing and detox machine. By going on a juice cleansing or fast you reduce calories to a very low level, and thus will not be consuming enough of the essential nutrients that your body needs. If you are not consuming enough protein and calories to meet your daily needs, your body will begin to break down your lean muscle mass for the protein that it needs. By doing this, you will lower your metabolic rate, which is not a good thing in the long run if you are trying to lose weight. • The Grapefruit Diet Claim to Fame: This baby has been around since the 1930s. It is based on the premise that grapefruits have a fat-burning enzyme so should be eaten daily and often to get lean. The Real Deal: In reality, this is just another very low calorie (and unhealthy), low carb diet that advocates whole grapefruits and juice at each meal. The only advantage to this diet is that you don’t have to worry about meeting your daily need for vitamin C. Unfortunately, its restrictiveness will likely cause you to fall short on other nutrients.
Spring is around the corner and so will be a new crop of fad diets eager to help you get into shape. Be on the lookout for a return of these repackaged crazy fad diets that are high on promises and low on long-term effectiveness.
• The Prehistoric Diet Claim to Fame: The crux of this eating plan is that our diet should mimic our hunter and gather Paleolithic ancestors. It is based on eating what you can hunt (meat, seafood) and gather (fruit, veggies). Dairy, grains, legumes, starchy veggies such as potatoes, sweets, and juices are off limits. The Real Deal: This unbalanced low carb, high protein diet ends up cutting calories because you are cutting out large categories of foods. Keep in mind our Paleolithic ancestors had a life expectancy of about age 30. A well-balanced diet is a better bet for longevity.

• The Blood Type Diet Claim to Fame: The focus of this diet is to follow a restrictive diet that dictates what you should and should not eat based your blood type (Type A, B, AB or O). For example, individuals with type O blood should avoid grains and bread, and if you are Type B, you need to shy away from wheat. The Real Deal: There is absolutely no research to back up that your blood type should determine what should be on your plate for good health. If you want to know what a healthy plate should look like, visit MyPlate.gov.

؟Diet اسأل طبيبك • The FoodCombining Diet Claim to Fame: This weight loss diet is geared around the wild assumption that how you combine the foods you eat is key to how they affect your body weight. According to the theory, protein (meat, fish, poultry, nuts) and carbohydrates (grains, fruits, and veggies) should never be eaten together, water should not be consumed with meals, fruit should only be eaten by itself, and dairy products are a no-no. The Real Deal: There is no scientific basis for this food-combination theory for weight loss. Your body is a finely tuned machine that can digest and absorb the nutrients from the food
