Heart Disease is a Food Borne Illness

Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. believes that heart disease is a food borne illness and the only way to prevent the disease is through diet.

Former president Bill Clinton recently talked about his vegan diet and his belief that a meat free and dairy free lifestyle has saved his life.

America’s Growing Waistline and Health Care Woes

Americans are getting fatter.

At the rate we’re going 83 percent of American men will be overweight or obese by 2020 followed by women at 72 percent projected to be overweight or obese by then, as well.

The implications go far beyond tight pants and groaning sofas. Obesity is a big risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Imagining an America of overweight, unhealthy people gives public health officials the willies. And it should be frightening to us civilians, too.

Normal Weight People Snack More than those Who are Over Weight

Overweight people eat fewer meals than normal weight people.

It might seem counter-intuitive, however, it seems that all this snacking leads to consuming less calories overall throughout the day.

Generally, though, “weight loss maintainers” consumed the fewest calories, at about 1,800 a day, compared with the normal weight and overweight subjects, who took in 1,900 and more than 2,000 calories a day, respectively.

Weight loss maintainers also were the most physically active of the three groups, Bachman said, burning off about 3,000 calories a week through exercise and other activities, compared to 2,000 calories a week among the normal weight subjects and 800 calories a week in the overweight group.

The take away? You can be satisfied eating less if you spread the food out over the course of your day.

A lighter belly also leaves you more inclined to be active in between meals.

Food Prices Making Even the Basics a Luxury

Grocery prices are on the rise and as odd as it may seem this could be the perfect opportunity for Americans to reassess their diets and come up with healthier alternatives to animal products laden with saturated fats and processed foods full of sugar, sodium and preservatives.

Foods like beans, legumes, whole grain rice, pasta and seasonal fruits and vegetables can be cheaper and stretched further than pre-packaged convenience foods.

The price of food at home is projected to rise by 4 to 5 percent this year, and another 2 to 3 percent next year, according to the Agriculture Department. That’s adding another financial worry for many people already living with tight budgets thanks to the weak economy and high jobless rate.
The percentage of people who say they had enough money to buy food in the last 12 months fell to its lowest level in three years, according to a Gallup poll released this month.
