A new film Planeat provides evidence that confirms this.You don't have to call yourself vegan or vegetarian to be healthy but you should  follow the plant eaters lead to dramatically  reduce the amount of meat and dairy from the level that's found in the average western diet."We need to move from a calorie dense diet to a nutrient dense diet. Calorie counting is a smokescreen, if you focus instead on nutrients you'll find yourself feeling more satisfied and less likely to crave food that has absolutely no worthwhile nutritional advantage to o...

There are plausible mechanisms: Meat is a source of carcinogens, iron that may increase oxidative damage, and saturated fat. But correlation and plausibility are not enough to establish causation. Is red meat really dangerous? If so, how great is the risk? A couple of recent studies have tried to shed light on these questions, but they have raised more questions than they have answered.

High cholesterol and heart disease do not mix! Researchers found that 37 percent of Americans with diseases that affect the heart and vascular system had reached recommended levels of LDL-C (bad cholesterol), but only 17 percent were at recommended levels for all lipids – LDL-C, HDL-C (“good” cholesterol) and triglycerides. In contrast, 85 percent of those without cardiovascular diseases were at recommended LDL-C levels, while 67 percent were at recommended levels for all lipids.  What do we need to do to decrease our risk levels? Control your weight, blood pressure and blood lipid levels through good l...

Doctors are not sure when to treat their patients even when posing and increased risk for advanced heart disease by being a diabetic. But a new study finds that even when people with diabetes show up in their doctor’s office with a high blood pressure reading, there’s only a 50-50 chance that each of them will get some sort of attention for it. That might mean a change to their medications, or a plan to follow up a few weeks later to see if the reading is still high. What happens to the other 50%. Does their pressure just get worse? Do they monitor their high blood pressure or just throw caution to the wind, without even know they are doing so? The national goal for people with diabetes is less than 130/...

Two new studies of men with type 2 diabetes found that erectile dysfunction (ED) was a powerful early warning sign for serious heart disease, including heart attack and death. The good news is that cholesterol-lowering medications could cut the risk of heart problems by about 1/3.  Viagra and other drugs alike might offer similar protection. The study also concluded that most men showed symptoms of ED prior to heart disease and that almost all diabetic men showed ED before coronary heart disease. Pretty strong correlation wouldn’t you say? This type of research will help men with diabetes take hold of their health both mentally and physically. via Science Daily Tags: diabetes...
