I like tuna or beans on my jacket potatoes when I'm being good. Dad can't have beans on his though as he's diabetic & too much sugar is put in tinned beans. Low-fat diets are also good for people who are at risk of heart disease or who are suffering from heart disease, Clay.

I think low fat diets is the way to go.

Definitely, Clay.

one has to protect their health.

Instead of tinned beans try buying them uncooked, soak them over night and remove any that have floated to the top and then cook according to the directions and season to taste. I like pinto, great northern white, navy and lima beans. This way you don't have any added preservatives, salt or sugars.

Thank you very much. He eats green, runner or broad beans. I might try that.

Weight Loss

Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on February 25, 2016

Because of the addictive nature of fatty foods, sugars, and artificial sweeteners, the average body mass index for the general U.S. population is nearing the obesity cut-off, and even children as young as five are now getting bariatric surgery. Obesity metabolically contributes to insulin resistance because of free fatty acid spillover into the blood. Even vegetarians are, on average, overweight in the United States but those eating more strictly plant-based diets average an ideal body weight. Meat has been found to increase the risk of being overweight, obesity, and obesity related diseases. This may be due, in part, to the consumption of chickens which are themselves obese and may be infected by an obesity-causing virus.

Conversely, plant-based diets may help prevent weight gain, promote weight loss (even insidiously), and maintain desired weight by increasing resting energy expenditure, lowering energy gain, up-regulating metabolism, improving satiety, preventing fat cells from taking up fat, and improving plasma adiponectin levels (a hormone that helps control weight). Ancillary benefits may include less painful periods. Ordinary foods such as oatmeal and beans can produce extraordinary benefits. Our tastes can acclimate to healthy changes, such as substituting cocoa for chocolate (using healthier sources of fat and sugar). You do not need to give up snacks, if you do it right, with nuts and dried fruit.

Healthy food choices can raise your resting metabolic rate and help burn fat with no additional effort. Soy foods may help double weight loss and promote abdominal fat loss while protecting against breast cancer. In addition to consuming a primarily plant-based diet, adding nuts and dates to your diet and drinking green tea on a daily basis may be useful in the prevention of obesity. Eating more slowly will help you feel full on less food. The beneficial gut microflora established and maintained by a plant diet rich in flavonoids and arginine promote fat loss. Nuts do not appear to lead to the weight gain one might expect given their caloric density. Spicy foods may also help activate our brown adipose tissue, facilitating weight loss.

Diet supplements do not seem to work. And, caloric restriction may not protect against cancer as well as a healthy plant-based diet. A paleo diet may undermine the benefits of exercise. The low-carb Atkins diet is associated in greater mortality from all causes, although replacing its animal fat and protein with plant sources does improve survival in plant-based, low carb diet adherents. Even vigorous exercise may be less important than diet in reducing obesity or slowing cellular aging (the shortening of our telomeres).

Arthritis

Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on July 21, 2015

Animal products, including eggs, dairy, meat, and animal protein in general may increase inflammation. A single meal of meat, eggs, or dairy may cause a spike of inflammation within hours that can stiffen one’s arteries. Several factors may account for this effect, including heme iron, endotoxins, saturated fat, high bacteria load, TMAO, tapeworms, advanced glycation end products or AGEs, and NeuGc, a foreign meat that may increase the risk of heart disease and cancer.

A plant-based diet may improve or even eliminate arthritis symptoms. Specifically, turmeric may provide people with as much relief as medications for osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Avocados, berries and flaxseed oil have also been shown to be helpful in decreasing general arthritis symptoms.

Arthritis may be triggered by the Yersinia bacteria found in pork products. Avoiding animal products may prevent the onset of auto-immune conditions. Rheumatoid arthritis may also be improved with potassium supplementation and cilantro.

Animal foods are rich in purines, which are associated with increased gout risk. This is why gout patients may see an improvement in symptoms when they switch to a plant-based diet. Ingestion of cherries, or cherry juice, appears to be a side effect free treatment option for gout.

Osteoarthritis appears to respond to anti-inflammatory foods, for example, rose hips. Studies also have shown improvement of symptoms of osteoarthritis through the addition of açai berries to the diet.

Awesome information Lady V. It is always good to use as much homeopathic methods to relieve pain and inflammation before using man made drugs that are filled with toxins that were not meant for the human body and can cause more damage then what the can cure. I for one use a lot of herbal remedies for all things from pain to colic in infants. Also using acupressure and massage therapy in the hands and feet can relieve a lot of aliments quickly and give sustained relief over time. Thank you for sharing!

Aging

Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on February 3, 2016

Four lifestyle habits—not smoking, not being obese, 30 minutes of exercise a day, and eating plenty of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and little or no meat—can in effect turn back the clock 14 years. Of these four habits, diet may be the most important for DNA health. The more servings of fruits, vegetables, and beans we consume, the longer we may live. A plant-based diet appears to help preserve muscle mass, boost immunity, repair DNA faster, slow the process of aging, meaning one can enjoy not just a longer life, but a healthier one.

The enzyme TOR (Target of Rapamycin), which promotes cellular growth and proliferation throughout our lives, can be influenced by diet. Consuming milk and other animal products has been found to upregulate the activity of TOR, and may increase the risk of a variety of cancers. Reducing animal protein consumption on the other hand, lowers TOR activity to an extent similar to caloric restriction and exercise.

Cooked in particular ways, poultry, pork, seafood, and beef can be the most concentrated dietary sources of AGEs, Advanced Glycation End products, also known as glycotoxins, which may accelerate the aging process. These may be reasons why meat consumption is associated with living a significantly shorter life with increased cancer mortality, increased heart disease mortality, and increased overall mortality.

Restricting methionine intake (largely by restricting animal products) is strategy for extending our lives. Managing stress through activities such as meditation could in effect reverse the aging of our DNA. Seventh-Day Adventists in California, a mostly vegetarian population, may have the highest life expectancy on any formally described population.

Antioxidant pills have no apparent effect on aging, though antioxidant-rich foods may. Some foods that appear to protect against aging include: berries (for the brain, skin, and eyes), grains (for protection against Alzheimer’s disease) turmeric, corn and spinach (for macular degeneration), nutritional yeast, watercress, cocoa, green and yellow vegetables (to prevent wrinkles).
