DIABETES, CANCER AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Cultures with diets rich in plant foods suffer fewer illnesses including:

> 60 % OF CHRONIC DISEASE

Yet, in Western cultures, poor lifestyle choices, like diet and physical inactivity, are responsible for:

Fiber and Weight Management

• Increased fiber can help individuals reduce intake at each meal

• Promotes feelings of fullness and increased satiety

• Lower in calories, fat and added sugars

• Less “energy dense”

• In studies > 6 months, weight loss was 3 times greater in people eating low-fat, high fiber diets than those eating low-fat only

• When 14 grams of fiber added to otherwise unrestricted diet, participants consumed 10% fewer calories – 4.2 lb weight loss in 4 months (>12 lbs per year)

• Nutr Rev 2001 Aug:59(8 Pt 1):247-58• Nutr Rev 2001 May:59(5):129-139

Fiber and Heart Disease

– Each additional 10 gms fiber cuts CHD risk by 27 % (Arc Intern. Med. 2004 Feb 23:164(4):370-6.

– Lowers cholesterol

– Psyllium fiber: FDA authorized claim that “Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 gms of soluble fiber per day from psyllium husk may reduce the risk of heart disease”

– Increased fiber associated with decreased C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

Fiber and Diabetes

• Refined carbohydrates linked to Type 2 Diabetes in America

• Blood sugar rises slowly with higher fiber intake

• Improves glycemic control along with reduction in blood pressure and triglyceride levels

• High fiber diets (50 gm/day) can negate need for Diabetes medication (NEJM. 2000 May 11:342(19):1392-8.)

Fiber and Digestion

• Promotes regularity

• Prevents constipation

• Prevents diverticulitis

• Increased dietary fiber may reduce risk of colon cancer (Lancet 2003 May(3)361:1496-501

Protein and Weight Management

• Most satiating macronutrient

• Helps maintain lean body mass in lieu of weight loss

• Protects bone during weight loss

• J Nutr. 2004 Mar; 134(3):568-73.

Protein and Bone

• About 1/3 of bone mass is made up of protein

• Protein essential for maintaining bone growth

• Plant and animal protein attenuate bone mineral density

• Isoflavones in soy protein retard bone loss almost as effectively as estrogen and decrease calcium excretion (Jrnl Renal Nutr 2000(10)2:63-68

Calcium and Health Benefits

• Protects against bone loss

• Promotes weight and fat loss by binding to fat in intestines – dietary and supplemental

• Obes Res 2004;12(4):582• Urol Onc 2003 Sept-Oct;21(5): 384-91
