Doctors Explain Healthy Way for Bill Clinton’s Dramatic Weight Loss

admin — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 15:17:29 +0000

After undergoing heart surgery back in February, former President Bill Clinton has adopted a healthier lifestyle. In a recent interview with CNN Bill Clinton talked about his plant-based, vegan diet and recent weight loss.
“I live of off beans, legumes, vegetables and fruits. It has completely changed my metabolism. I’ve lost 24 lbs and I weigh about what I did in high school,” says Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton says his diet does not include any meat or dairy. Clinton drinks a glass of almond milk mixed with fruit and a protein powder supplement every morning.
What made him go vegan? Clinton has read many books on the topic, including books by T. Colin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr. Dean Ornish.

A Short Historical Perspective on Vegetarian Diets

In the past, many viewed vegetarianism as strange and faddish but appropriately planned vegetarian diets are now recognized by many, including the American Dietetic Association, as being nutritionally adequate, and providing healthful benefits in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases .

Choosing a nonvegetarian lifestyle has a significant health and medical cost. The total direct medical costs in the United States attributable to meat consumption were estimated to be $60-80 billion a year, based upon the higher prevalence of hypertension, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, gallstones, obesity and food-borne illness among omnivores compared with vegetarians .

A large body of scientific literature suggests that the consumption of a diet of whole grains, legumes, vegetables, nuts, and fruits, with the avoidance of meat and high-fat animal products, along with a regular exercise program is consistently associated with lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, less obesity and consequently less heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and mortality . In African-Americans, the frequent consumption of nuts, fruits and green salads was associated with 35-44 percent lower risk of overall mortality.

Distinguishing Feature

A vegetarian diet is distinguished from an omnivorous diet by its content of dry beans and lentils. These take the place of meat and fish as the major source of protein. And there are so many different kinds of beans you can choose from – kidney, lima, pinto, cranberry, navy, Great Northern, garbanzo, soy beans, and black-eyed peas.

Soy protein contains isoflavones, such as genistein and daidzein, that act as phytoestrogens and inhibit tumor growth, lower blood cholesterol levels, decrease the risk of blood clots, and diminish bone loss. These benefits clearly translate into a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and osteoporosis.

Cancer Protection

A major report published by the World Cancer Research Fund in 1997 recommended we lower our risk of cancer by choosing predominantly plant-based diets rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits, legumes and minimally processed starchy staple foods, and to limit the intake of grilled, cured and smoked meats and fish. These methods of preparing meat produce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines which are carcinogenic .

About three dozen plant foods have been identified as possessing cancer-protective properties. These include cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower), umbelliferous vegetables and herbs (carrots, celery, cilantro, caraway, dill, parsley), other fruits and vegetables (citrus, tomatoes, cucumber, grapes, cantaloupe, berries), beans (soybeans), whole grains (brown rice, oats, whole wheat), flaxseed, many nuts, and various seasoning herbs (garlic, scallions, onions, chives, ginger, turmeric, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, and basil.

Heart Disease

Lifelong vegetarians had a 24 percent lower incidence and lifelong vegans (those who eat no eggs or dairy products) had a 57 percent lower incidence of coronary heart disease compared to meat eaters. Healthy volunteers who consumed a vegetarian diet that was rich in green, leafy vegetables and other low-calorie vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, celery, green beans, etc.), fruits, nuts, sweet corn and peas experienced after two weeks decreases of 25, 33, 20 and 21 percent in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total/HDL cholesterol ratio, respectively .

Various factors exist in fruits and vegetables that provide possible protection against cardiovascular disease. These factors include folic acid, dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, carotenoids, phytosterols, flavonoids, and other polyphenolic antioxidants.

Stroke and Diabetes

Data from many studies supports a protective relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and risk of ischemic stroke . Cruciferous and green leafy vegetables and citrus fruits were the most protective.

How to eat healthy during the holidays?

admin — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 04:36:37 +0000

I’m trying to eat healthy during the next few days. I lost 25 pounds over the summer and am almost at my goal weight, but it can be hard when you’re faced with unhealthy food left and right. I’m going to my grandmother’s Christmas eve to celebrate, then my sisters on Christmas, and then my other grandma’s the day AFTER Christmas. They always have hors d’oeuvres (veggies and dip, included, which is healthy) but I never know what I should eat…there are also drinks, etc. Any suggestions?

Congratulations on your weight loss. You obviously have learned how to eat well.

Be sure to have some bottled water with you when you go to these events so you don’t drink sodas, etc.

Try eating a light meal of healthy food before you go if possible so you aren’t super hungry when you arrive.

Go for the veggies and dip first.

If you drink alcoholic beverages be sure you are consuming a glass of water with each drink.

Now, relax…..enjoy your family. Remember that making a poor food choice is not a sin, lol.

If you overdo it a little just start Monday morning with a tall glass of lemon water and fresh fruit and salad.

Maybe even a one day fast. Check out the Diet & Detox section at www.liverguru.com for some good info.
Now go enjoy your holidays!

What otherwise healthy foods should be avoided if you are constipated?

admin — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 21:24:18 +0000

I’m talking healthy foods that you would normally eat on a diet or to be healthy. Fast food and junk food are a given.

Red Meat, Pork, Potatoes, but most truly healthy foods will not cause constipation. Drink plenty of water too.

What are some healthy foods to eat for breakfast?

admin — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 00:37:27 +0000

I’m 15 and usually I eat Cup Noodles, chips, chocolate, or candy for breakfast. My parents never bother to buy yogurt, fruits, or anything healthy for me because they themselves eat Cup Noodles for breakfast every morning.
I’ve recently decided to begin buying food myself. I’d like to know some healthy, but cheap foods that I can eat for breakfast. I’m not overweight but I think I may have high blood pressure.I need to start eating healthier foods. Please help!

there are Quaker and Kashi cups of oatmeal you can buy at supermarket. you just pour hot water on it, just as easy as making Cup Noodles, only healthier.
yogurt on sale is not expensive. try Carnation instant breakfast. Nutri grain, special K and fiber one breakfast bars are healthy for you. eat a banana. make whole wheat toast, bagel or english muffin. i take it that you want cheap easy to prepare stuff that wont kill you.

buy stuff on sale, store brands use coupons to save money.

as a college student, i had a diet of Oodles of Noodles and Cup of Noodles like every one else. i have the real high blood pressure now and lost 20 lbs at gym. i eat healthy now. cannot cook because disabled.
good luck.

What are some healthy meals to make at work?

admin — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 13:54:15 +0000

My co-workers and I practically live at work, so we decided to start eating healthy meals for lunch instead of grabbing fast food. What are some healthy meal ideas for breakfast and lunch?

We have a refrigerator, toaster, crock pot, and for man grill.

How about some turkey burgers on the grill? You could buy pre-shaped turkey burger patties, or make your own. Making your own is really easy. You just need 1lb ground lean turkey, 1 egg, some salt/pepper, 1/2 a small onion, diced, and a little Worchester sauce. You just combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, and form into patties. You can do this ahead of time and put into a Ziploc bag (with a sheet of waz paper between each patty) and use within a day or two, otherwise you can freeze them. Then just grill them on the grill at work, and place on whole wheat buns or sandwich thins, with tomato slices, lettuce, a slice of cheese, and whatever condiments you like.

I also like to use my crock pot to make good dinners. There are tons of recipes out there, for everything from beef stews, to vegetable soups. Here are a few you can try out:

Hope that helped
