Five Diseases That Are Often Misdiagnosed

By Kimberly Wilkes

This article originally appeared in Whole Health Insider.

Doctors often have to be detectives on the hunt for what is causing a given disease in a given patient. Sometimes, they're successful at finding the cause. Other times, the "thief" that stole a patient's health avoids detection. But there are some diseases that are trickier to diagnose than others. Often, these diseases hide behind symptoms that are so similar to other types of health problems they can remain undiagnosed for years.

If you've ever suffered from one of these diseases in disguise you know how frustrating it is to be in pain and either not treated with something that actually works, have your health problems dismissed altogether—or, even scarier, have your life put in danger because the disease wasn't diagnosed early enough.

Here are five diseases that are often misdiagnosed, along with strategies you can use to reduce your risk of getting them in the first place. Plus, we'll offer some suggestions on what to do once you are correctly diagnosed.

Disease in Disguise #1 - Ovarian Cancer

Among women, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths, and is the most lethal of all the gynecologic cancers.1 Every year, more than 21,000 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and it takes the lives of about 15,000 women.1

One of the reasons why ovarian cancer is so deadly is because women often aren't diagnosed until late in the disease. The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition reported that more than two-thirds of women were misdiagnosed by their doctors when the women first sought treatment, according to a national survey of 250 women with ovarian cancer.1In fact, almost 70 percent of the women reported that their doctor never even considered ovarian cancer as a cause of their symptoms.1

Doctors often mistake common ovarian cancer symptoms such as abdominal or pelvic pain and bloating for irritable bowel syndrome, a urinary tract infection, acid reflux or stress-related problems. Physicians also often mistake borderline ovarian tumorsas invasive ovariancancer. Borderline ovarian tumors usually don't pose as much of a threat as cancerous tumors and are cured using surgery alone. If a doctor misdiagnoses a borderline ovarian tumor, it can cause a woman to have to go through chemotherapy and radiation treatments she doesn't need.2

When Your Doctor Should Be Worried About Ovarian Cancer

If you're suffering from abdominal or pelvic pain and bloating for more than a few weeks, it's a good idea to ask your doctor for a blood test called CA-125 as well as a pelvic ultrasound. The CA-125 blood test won't tell your doctor for sure whether you have ovarian cancer. In fact, it often comes back with false positive and false negative results. But if the CA-125 test results are elevated, it's a reason for your doctor to investigate further.

Heading the Disease Off at the Pass

Of course, the best way to avoid a misdiagnosis is to avoid getting ovarian cancer to begin with. There's no guarantee that you can stop this disease, but by reducing the risk factors that you can control, it puts the odds in your favor.

Some risk factors you can'tcontrol such as older age at menopause or the fact your risk goes up as you grow older.3-4But you can do something about other factors that raise the risk of ovarian cancer. For example, high body mass index has been linked to increased risk of the disease, so losing weight may help.3Being on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for a longer amount of time also increases the risk of ovarian cancer,3so consider looking into a more natural approach to HRT.

The toxic chemical bisphenol-A (BPA)—found in some plastic water bottles and the lining of cans as well as in some cash register receipts and dental sealants—stimulates the growth of ovarian cancer cells in cell culture studies.5-7Wash your hands after touching cash register receipts and drink and eat out of BPA-free bottles and cans. Be certain any company that claims their product is BPA-free hasn't replaced it with an equally toxic chemical.

Another option is to eat more broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Diindolylmethane(DIM), a compound present in cruciferous vegetables, blocks ovarian cancer growth and angiogenesis—the process by which cancer uses new blood vessels to spread throughout the body—in animal and cell culture studies.8-9DIM also is available as a dietary supplement.

Disease in Disguise #2 - Heart Attacks in Women

Heart disease is the number one killer of women, yet it's also one of the most misdiagnosed diseases in females. When a woman visits her doctor or the emergency room complaining of heart attack symptoms, doctors often dismiss her complaints as anxiety or stress. That's because doctors tend to think of heart attacks as a man's disease due to the fact before menopause, women have a reduced risk of heart attacks compared to men. After menopause, there's a role reversal, when a woman's risk of having a heart attack is greater than a man's.10

Another reason doctors often misdiagnose heart attacks in women is because a woman's symptoms aren't always as obvious as a man's. Heart attack symptoms in women can run the gamut from symptoms you would expect such as pain or discomfort in the center of the chest to symptoms that at first glance seem unrelated to heart attacks such as pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, stomach or upper abdominal area as well as sudden extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, breaking out in cold sweats, nausea and light-headedness.10

Although the most common symptom in women is chest pain, women are more likely than men to experience the less obvious warning signs. In one study, chest pain, left arm pain and sweating was more common in men, while women were more likely to report nausea, jaw pain, neck pain and back pain.11 Sixty-nine percent of men having a heart attack have chest pain, but only half of all women.10

The notion that heart attacks are a man's disease can deprive women of fast and lifesaving treatment. Researchers have found that womensuffering from chest pain were less likely to be given a "priority 1" (lights and sirens) ambulance response compared to men with chest pain.12

Other researchers have discovered that female heart attack patients 55 years old and younger weren't administered electrocardiography (EKG, a test for heart attacks) or therapy to break up blood clots in a timely manner compared to men.13Delaying this therapy could increase the chance of dying from a heart attack or stroke.

It's not only doctors and healthcare workers that are to blame for the delay in treating females—many women don't seek treatment early enough. Some women wait hours or days after experiencing the signs of a heart attack before getting medical help.10

If you're a woman suffering any of the heart attack warning signs mentioned in this article seek help immediately. Resist the urge to just ignore it. And when you arrive at the emergency room insist the doctor test you with an EKG.

Decrease Your Risk of Heart Attacks

Your best bet to reduce the risk of having a heart attack in the first place is to make sure you eliminate all components of the metabolic syndrome: hypertension, abdominal fat and high triglycerides, blood sugar and cholesterol.

Exercise is, of course, an important way to reduce all those risk factors. But diet is important, too. One of the best types of diets you can adopt is a Mediterranean diet— high in fish, olive oil, nuts, red wine, whole grains, fruit and vegetables and low in red meat, sweets and dairy—especially a Mediterranean diet with a low glycemic load. Glycemic load refers to how much a particular food or meal raises your blood sugar and insulin levels. The lower the glycemic load, the healthier the food.

Eating a Mediterranean diet with a low/moderate glycemic load slashes the risk of coronary heart disease by 40 percent and the risk of death from coronary heart disease by more than 50 percent.14 You can find a list of different foods and their glycemic load on Harvard Medical School's website.

In addition to watching what you eat, adding the dietary supplement berberine into your daily routine may send the metabolic syndrome packing. In one randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, berberine caused the metabolic syndrome to go into remission and decreased waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, triglycerides and insulin secretion.15

Disease in Disguise #3 – Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes damage to the small intestine when a person suffering from the disease eats gluten. In the United States, 1 in 133 people suffer from celiac disease. However, in people who are at risk for celiac disease—people who have relatives with the disorder or people who have gastrointestinal symptoms—celiac occurs much more often. One out of every 22 people who have first-degree relatives with celiac disease also have the disorder, as do one out of every 39 people who have second-degree relatives and one out of 56 people who have gastrointestinal symptoms.16

There are probably more people who have celiac disease than estimated because 83 percent of Americans who have celiac disease don't know it.17 They either haven't been diagnosed with the disease or misdiagnosed with other conditions.

People with this disorder usually suffer for a long time before they even know they have it. On average, a person with celiac disease waits six to ten years before they're diagnosed correctly. Often doctors mistake celiac disease for irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance or constipation and suggest taking laxatives or prescribe painkillers.

Since undiagnosed patients are never told to stop eating gluten, the damage continues to build up in their intestines until when they are finally diagnosed with celiac disease the harm that's been done takes longer to repair. Plus, since people with celiac disease have a hard time absorbing some nutrients, the longer it takes to diagnosis the condition, the more these nutrient deficiencies may start to inflict damage on the body outside of the GI tract. And in some cases, celiac disease can lead to osteoporosis, liver disorders and rarely to intestinal cancer.18

Part of the reason celiac disease is so hard for doctors to diagnose is that most celiac disease adult patients don't have GI symptoms—or if they do have GI symptoms they're very mild.19Only one-third of adults with celiac disease have diarrhea.20 A doctor is more likely to correctly diagnosis celiac disease when a patient has classic symptoms such as diarrhea, weight loss, fatty or foul-smelling stools, failure to thrive (in kids) and multiple vitamin deficiencies.21

Other patients can experience more silent symptoms such as anemia. Some experts believe celiac disease can have 300 possible symptoms. For example, bone and joint pain, arthritis, depression, tingling numbness in hands and feet, erratic menstrual periods and mouth sores can all signal the presence of celiac disease.20,22 To make matters even more complicated, some people with the disease have no symptoms.22

Preventing Celiac Disease Symptoms

The only cure for celiac disease is to completely eliminate gluten from your diet. However, some studies have shown that the longer a child is breastfed, the lower the risk of developing celiac disease symptoms.23-24One researcher in the United Kingdom estimated that if all babies in Britain were breastfed at the time they first started eating gluten, it would prevent 2,500 cases of celiac disease per year.23

The time when parents introduce gluten into an infant's diet also is important. One study showed that exposure to gluten in the first three months of an infant's life increased the risk of celiac autoimmune symptoms by five times compared tothose exposed to gluten at four to six months. Children who ate gluten for the first time at seven months of age or older had a slightly increased risk compared to the children who ate it for the first time between four and six months.23

Unmasking Celiac Disease

If you have any of the celiac symptoms mentioned in this article, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor and suggest getting tested. This is done using a blood test to see whether you're producing celiac-related antibodies. If this test comes back positive, your doctor will then likely order a small intestine biopsy. Your doctor may also order a blood test for anemia.

If you're diagnosed with celiac, it's also a good idea to take a probiotic supplement to help heal any gluten-related damage in your intestinal tract and a high-quality multivitamin to help replenish any nutrient deficiencies.

Disease in Disguise #4 – Lyme

Lyme disease is caused when a tick infected with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi bites a human. There's also some evidence that an infected sexual partner can transmit Lyme. In 2013, more than 35,000 probable cases of Lyme disease were reported in the U.S. However, because Lyme is often mistaken for other diseases and because people with Lyme don't always visit a doctor, it's estimated that six to 12 times that number of people—at least 200,000—have Lyme.25

The first symptoms of Lyme disease include feeling like you have the flu with fever, chills, sweats, muscle aches, fatigue, nausea and joint pain. Bell's palsy, where part of the face becomes numb, is another symptom. Untreated Lyme can progress to a chronic form of the disease where sufferers are plagued by symptoms like persisting fatigue, muscle aches, memory problems, joint pain, arthritis and nerve pain.25

Doctors often mistake Lyme disease for chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia or depression.26One doctor, Chris Meletis, N.D., has seen two patients who were diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease) by other doctors. When he tested them for Lyme, their results came back positive, indicating it was really Lyme that was causing their health problems. When they were treated for Lyme, their symptoms improved.

It's easy to misdiagnosis Lyme for many reasons. First, lab tests used to detect the disease can often be negative for the first four to six weeks after infection. What's more, even though 80 percent of patients with Lyme have some sort of rash,27 half or more of those patients don't have the typical bull's eyes rash normally associated with Lyme.26 And one study showed that up to 72 percent of doctors surveyed weren't able to tell the difference between a Lyme disease rash and other common rashes.27

In addition, the symptoms of Lyme disease resemble so many other conditions, that doctors often don't have Lyme on their radar.

Symptoms of Lyme Disease

Early Symptoms

• Flu-like illness (fever, chills, sweats, muscles aches, fatigue, nausea and joint pain)

• Rash

• Bell’s palsy

Later Symptoms

• Headache

• Stiff neck

• Light or sound sensitivity

• Cognitive impairment

• Sleep disturbance

• Depression, anxiety, or mood swings

Testing for Lyme

Doctors use a couple tests to figure out if you have Lyme. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test detects antibodies to B. burgdorferi. The ELISA test isn't always right and can provide false-positive results, so doctors use the Western blot test to confirm diagnosis. The Western blot detects antibodies to several proteins of B. burgdorferi.

Eliminating Lyme

Once your doctor diagnoses you with Lyme disease, he or she will probably start you on a course of antibiotics. Because antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your intestines, it's important to take a probiotic supplement during and after treatment.

Alternative practitioners may also suggest an herb called Uncaria tomentosa(Cat's claw). Many alternative doctors have used Uncaria tomentosawith success in Lyme patients. Even though there are no studies testing Uncaria tomentosaon the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium, many cell culture studies show it can inhibit other forms of bacteria including Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus spp.and Enterobacteriaceae.28 In animals, Uncaria tomentosastrengthens the immune system and acts as an anti-inflammatory.29It works the same in humans.29

Diseases in Disguise #5 – Hypothyroidism

In hypothyroidism, the thyroid is sluggish—it doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone. According to the Cleveland Clinic, hypothyroidism occurs in 4.6 percent of U.S. adults—more often in people who are older.30

However, many alternative doctors believe that the prevalence of hypothyroidism is really more like 40 percent of U.S. adults since conventional medical tests are often unable to accurately diagnose the disease and hypothyroidism is so often mistaken for other conditions.31

Doctors often misdiagnosis hypothyroidism because its symptoms mirror those of other diseases. The most common symptoms of hypothyroidism include depression, fatigue, weight gain, high cholesterol, feeling cold and brain fog. But other symptoms can also serve as a hypothyroidism red flag including mania, hyperactivity, anxiety, a pounding heart, constipation, dry skin, thinning hair, muscle aches and weakness, heavy or irregular periods and insomnia.32

Testing for Hypothyroidism

A thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test is used to diagnosis hypothyroidism. Doctors disagree on what the ideal numbers are for this test. According to the latest recommendations from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, the recommended reference range for TSH is from 0.3 to 3.0. But some labs and doctors don't follow these recommendations. Some doctors say anything above a TSH level of 5 or 10 indicates hypothyroidism while other doctors and some scientific papers indicate anything above 1.3 to 1.8 means your thyroid is sluggish.32,33 Conventional doctors tend to treat the numbers whereas alternative doctors gauge how a patient feels to determine the approach for treatment.

Giving Your Thyroid a Boost

Before treating a sluggish thyroid, it's important to pay attention to adrenal health. Increasing thyroid gland activity can burden the adrenals if they're not working properly. You can work with your doctor to get a salivary adrenal hormone panel to measure your levels of cortisol throughout the day. Cortisol, the stress hormone, is produced by the adrenal glands and levels that are too high or too low can indicate adrenal problems.

Once your adrenals are repaired, focus on your thyroid. An iodine deficiency test can determine if you're low in this mineral, which is important to the thyroid gland. If the test warrants, supplement with a combination of iodide/iodine. If your thyroid needs more help, work with a doctor who may prescribe a thyroid hormone medication.

Mystery Solved

It's not always easy for a doctor to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms. Hopefully, after reading this article you'll be armed with the knowledge to start a discussion with your healthcare provider that will put you one step closer to solving the cause of your distress.

Benefits of cherries

Summary

Prevent heart disease

Improve your gut health

Reduce inflammation

Fight against gout attacks

A fruit with a low glycemic index

Reduce muscle soreness

Improve sleep

Benefits during pregnancy

It is in May that the first stone fruits appear: cherries. Raw, baked, on a cake or picked straight from the tree, these delicious fruits contain vitamins A and C, omega-3s and omega-6s. Slightly more caloric than other fruits, they nevertheless provide significant health benefits.

Prevent heart disease

Cherries can help lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels, two factors that can contribute to heart disease.

Drinking cherry juice would also help reduce high blood pressure, according to a study published in The American Journal of nutrition in May 2016 on Montmorency cherries, slightly sour sour cherries. Researchers have shown that the anthocyanins in these cherries, which are powerful antioxidants, help lower blood pressure by an average of 7%.

Improve your gut health

A study published in 2018 by the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry and notably relayed by the site She knows revealed that sour cherries have a positive impact on the human intestinal microbiome. In question, their beneficial action which stimulates the growth of good bacteria.

Reduce inflammation

A 2013 study published in the Journal of Nutrition looked at sweet cherries and found that consuming this sweet fruit reduced inflammation in the body.

Fight against gout attacks

Gout is an inflammatory rheumatism caused by an overabundance of uric acid in the body, which crystallizes in the joints and causes severe pain. Cherries contain high levels of anthocyanin, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant that can help lower uric acid levels, as seen above. Its high vitamin C content may also contribute. This benefit was demonstrated by a study published in 2014, again on the Montmorency variety: patients suffering from gout saw their risk of seizures reduced by 35%.

A fruit with a low glycemic index

The cherry is one of the fruits that are low hyperglycemic, that is to say, it causes a small increase in blood sugar when consumed. The antioxidant anthocyanin present in this red fruit is directly linked to improving insulin levels. The body is able to lower blood sugar faster and more efficiently after a meal. To be consumed in moderation of course and always after medical advice in case of diabetes. The Federation of Diabetics offers a recipe for low-sugar cherry clafoutis on its site.

Reduce muscle soreness

Dear Mark: Collagen or Glycine, Keto and Gallstones, Raw Liver, Stevia Itching, and Gaining Muscle, Losing Fat

For today’s edition of Dear Mark, I’m answering five questions taken from this Twitter thread. First, does collagen offer anything special above and beyond glycine? Second, what’s the relationship between keto and gallstones? Third, do I recommend eating raw liver, and why or why not? Fourth, why does one reader’s scalp itch when eating stevia? And finally, what’s the best way to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time?

Let’s go:

If collagen is broken down into amino acids in the gut before being absorbed, is it just the amino acid profile (i.e. high glycine) that makes it so beneficial? Anything else?

Glycine is a major reason why we need collagen in our diets, but it’s not the only one.

When you feed people collagen derived from pork skin, chicken feet, and cartilage, many different collagenous peptides appear in the blood. You don’t get any of these from isolated glycine:

Proline-hydroxyproline, a peptide with protective effects on osteoarthritic cartilage degradation.

Glycine-proline-hydroxyproline, a peptide that makes it into the blood and turns into proline-hydroxyproline, which makes it into the skin.

Collagen peptides have beneficial effects above and beyond glycine alone—although glycine is great for balancing out methionine intake from muscle meat consumption. It’s also been used in several studies to improve multiple markers of sleep quality.

A family member has a complicated health history including cancer and wants to eat keto. But, now she finds she has gallstones. Any thoughts on a good way to attack this complicated issue?

Has your family member already gone keto? Did going keto come before the gallstone reveal?

If so, that’s actually normal.

The primary role of the gallbladder is to collect bile from the liver, concentrate it into potent super-bile (my term), and release the concentrated bile to break up incoming dietary fat into smaller molecules that lipase can attack and digest. Dietary fat is the biggest driver of gallbladder emptying.

If the gallbladder isn’t regularly emptied, gallstones can form. Usually made of hardened cholesterol, gallstones are quite common and often produce no symptoms. Problems arise when normal gallbladder emptying flushes out a stone small enough to make it into but too large to pass through the bile duct and a blockage occurs. Gallstones can also directly damage the walls of the gallbladder, leading to cholecystis, or gallbladder inflammation.

A high-fat diet can exacerbate or even uncover gallstone issues by increasing gallbladder emptying. Remember: the more fat you eat, the more often you empty your gallbladder—and everything in it.

But high-fat diets don’t generally cause gallstones to form. They only reveal pre-existing ones. The biggest risk factors for gallstone formation are:

A high intake of high-glycemic carbohydrates.

High estrogen levels, which concentrate cholesterol deposition in the gallbladder. This is why women, especially pregnant women and/or those taking hormonal birth control, are more likely to have gallstones.

Obesity, which also increases cholesterol levels in the gallbladder.

Weight loss, with a caveat: high-fat weight loss diets reduce and even prevent gallstone formation. In fact, when you compare people who lose weight on a low-fat diet to those who lose it on a high-fat diet, research shows that 45% of the low-fatters develop gallstones while none of the high-fatters develop them.

Once the gallstones are all clear, keep up with the keto eating, as eating more fat will keep your gallbladder regularly flushed and clear of stones.

Is Raw Liver safe to eat?

I’ve eaten raw liver before. I know people who eat raw liver. I can’t recommend it, however, because I don’t know what kind of liver you have access to. Who raised the animal? What did it eat? What were the processing conditions?

But because I know people are going to try this…

Freeze it first for several days.

Buy from a trusted source.

Buy only liver from well-raised, grass-fed, organic animals.

If it looks unhealthy, it probably is. I would never eat a pale, flaccid liver with ugly spots, cooked or raw.

Don’t eat raw (or even medium) pork liver. A huge percentage of pigs carry the Hepatitis E virus, which is transmittable to humans and concentrates in the liver.

Why does stevia make my scalp itch?

Stevia can be an allergen actually. It’s not very common, but as more and more people use stevia, more will be revealed to have an allergic reaction.

I’d just skip it.

Is it possible to gain muscle and lose weight with properly timed IF around workouts?

It is possible, although you may not actually lose weight, but rather body fat (which is better).

The best way I’ve seen people do it is the classic Leangains method.

Fast from 8 p.m. to 12-1 noon.

Fasted workout in the afternoon, perhaps with a little BCAA or whey isolate before the workout. Lift heavy, compound movements.

After the workout, walk for 20 minutes. Brisk pace to utilize all the free fatty acids swimming around.

Then eat. If you’re going to eat carbs, do it in this meal and keep the fat low-to-moderate. Load up on protein.

Eat as much as you like until 8 p.m.—the end of your eating window. Favor protein and, again, if you’re eating carbs keep fat lower than usual.

Maintain the fasting period every day. On rest days, eat low/no carb and higher fat. Protein always high. Go for walks on rest days.

That’s it. That usually works really well, but it presupposes you have a flexible schedule and can actually train in the afternoon whenever you want. Your mileage may vary—though it will work at any time.

Muscle gain won’t be as rapid as it would drinking a gallon of milk a day, eating pizza smoothies, and cramming ice cream made with whey protein at night, but it will minimize fat gain and perhaps even help you lose fat as you gain muscle. No guarantees, but it’s the best method I’ve seen.

That’s it for today, folks. Thanks for reading, take care, and be sure to leave a comment down below if you have any questions.

Video

youtube

Okay, as mentioned in the last post: Here i summarize everything she says in this video, about how eating late in the day, during weight loss, results in low lean body mass. Followed by my comments. Pam: Intend to eat 5-6 times per day - in order to plan healthy “snack” meals, instead of making stupid fast food choices, whenever sudden hunger appears. Research suggests: eating regularly and frequently increases metabolic rate and results in better body composition because the thermic effect of food varies, based on several factors, including frequency. “Thermogenesis” means your energy expenditure beyond your resting metabolic rate that is involved in the processing of food, for energy mobilization or storage. Frequent eating results in better cholesterol and insulin levels. Boxers who ate two meals lost muscle mass, those who ate 6 meals preserved it, given the same number of calories. This is because when blood glucose drops too low, during fasting windows, amino acids like alanine are released from muscles and converted to glucose. Also the experience of low blood glucose promotes fat storage on the next occasion (feeding). Less frequent larger meals, that spike blood glucose, also promote fat storage. Ending up with a poor ratio of lean body mass to fat mass results in a situation, which makes it close to impossible to loose the rest of the fat mass, because a caloric deficit attacks the lean body mass and the body rebells against this with enough hunger, to sabotage your effort to eat less, to keep up a caloric deficit, in fact the hunger will make you eat enough to regain more body fat, while a resulting gain in lean body mass happens too, albeit likely at a lower rate, thereby further worsening the ratio of lean to fat mass. The way out of this situation or the way to prevent it in the first place is to diet in a way that promotes growth or maintenance of muscle mass, as a highest priority. so: eating frequently and eating sufficient protein and (important) preventing both glucose lows and glucose highs. (The impossibility of doing this with meals that combine fat and carbs and are processed is why so many people are convinced that eating less meals is better for weight loss - bad diet experiences lead to bad conclusions). A pound of muscle burns 14 kcal per day, a pound of fat burns only 3. Severe caloric restriction can result in as much as 620 fewer calories burned per day. A cancer (tumor) patient may benefit from intermittent fasting, even though it is bad for muscle maintenance. My comment: Most importantly tho he benefits from not overloading the blood with sugar or oil, at any time. Thus intermittent fasting must involve a caloric deficit. Otherwise it would cram to much food into the blood, in a short time window. This would probably feed cancer growth about as much as the fasting time window may starve it, except feeding may provoke pro-creation but starving does not guarantee cancer cell depth, despite interrupting cell division. Remember, studies show that oil consumption (essentially resulting in high blood lipids) feed tumors more efficiently than refined sugar (high blood sugar), so just don’t overeat. Intermittent fasting as practiced in ramadan (one meal a day after sunrise) results in higher leptin and insulin levels. Exercise during fasting time windows is likely to deplete glycogen storage which inspires the burning of lean muscle mass. My comment: Not long ago, i had emotional resistance against what she says in this video, because whenever i managed to loose weight in the past, using caloric restriction, as opposed to water fasting, it was only bearable, due to my strategy of eating late in the day, starting with one or two tiny meals (2 bananas, etc), ending with a substantial high protein, low glycemic index, but also high carb meal (brown rice, lentils). But i must admit that my approach lead to a miserable LBM to Fat ratio, which leads to the situation where its impossible to loose the last 10 kg of fat or to maintain that loss, because having too little muscle drives up hunger. My body is always hungry enough, to entertain a theoretical reasonably strong body, which would burn about 2500kcals, despite the fact, that what i end up with, when i eat this much, is a (slightly) fat body instead. Due to my inactivity and also, presumably, because of my anemia and fatigue. But why did no other method of dieting work for me before? I did not try all methods and failed to try the one that is working. I kept eating some somewhat too energy dense food sources. Therefore, whenever i ate more frequently or for longer eating time windows, i just "managed" to skyrocket my glycogen so as to inspire a stronger carb dependence, meaning a lesser ability to burn fat, meaning i ended up with more hunger. Eating lead to more eating and the only workaround was to burn my fat prior to all of my eating - in the morning. This difficulty must be prevented by choosing meals with lower glycemic index, due to higher fiber ratio (NOT due to higher fat ratio!!!) and foods with a higher protein ratio, not just a higher water ratio. Another reason for my experience (my success with Intermittent fasting and my failure with frequent eating) is most likely, that i have always been living against my circadian rythm! Eating early in the day would not automatically inspire me to stop eating late in the day and i never had the intention to stop. I was too attached to the habit of having my main meal late in the day, as a sort of celebration of the day. So not skipping early morning meals, on occasion, would simply result in eating much more throughout the whole day and sabotage any caloric deficit. Often i stayed up late into the night which would resonate well with eating late. Eating early and staying up long, in contrast, might inspire eating food for almost two days in one day. A long night will almost always provoke hunger, regardless of how much was eaten earlier. My point of view began to change recently, during my hospital stay. I lost so much weight, while eating so much food. Incredibly, it seems that i lost 4kg in 3 weeks, while eating at least 1900kcal. It’s like IMPOSSIBRUUU. No doubt, anti-biotica and chemo (cladribrin) inspired much of my weight loss. Also i lost a ton of lean body mass, because the hospital food had at most 30g of protein per day and of course i was lying in bed. But the food was not even low glycemic index or low energy density, it was the kind of food that would have normally prevent weight loss via high insulin. It was fruit juice, bananas, white rice & potatoes two times a day and one time something like potatoes and vegetables. However, remember what was mentioned in the video in the previous blog post: Insulin sensitivity is best in the morning, so dense carbs or higher glycemic index carbs or larger meals are less interrupting to fat burning, the earlier you eat them, so long as you don’t end up eating more in total. But the meals in hospital were modest, at most 600kcal, resulting in a reasonably low glycemic load of the whole meal, given my insulin sensitivity. (Remember, insulin puts sugar into muscles, where it belongs, not into fat, as some people believe by confusion: insulin resistance, in contrast, represented by inappropriately high insulin accumulation, correlates with fat storage). The meal schedule was synced with the circadian rythm, with digestive “fire”: eating at 8, 12 and 17 o'clock. This experience demonstrated to me the power of regularity and the power of timing, relative to waking and sleep. Nevertheless i must report that i was not successful and maintaining this patter, this feeling, this low appetite. None of this implies that eating early in the day makes weight loss easy or guarantees low appetite. All we are saying here is that, unlike eating late, it does not lead to a catastrophic ratio of lean to fat mass. Since having a catastrophic ratio makes complete weight loss impossible, we can say, that eating early makes weight loss more possible. But when you eat much early, you must eat less later on and this requires a discipline, that i do not have right now. I don’t mean the discipline to go to bed hungry. I mean the discipline to go to bed early enough, so not to snack at 3 o clock in the night or the discipline to always eat unprocessed / fiber rich food. I still like carrot juice and dates too much.

What Are The Advantages Of Consuming Dates?

youtube

Fruits have several overall health benefits that help avoid well being complications like heat stroke, higher blood stress, cancer , heart problems, and diabetes They successfully fight skin problems and market healthful hair growth. Sweet potatoes and white potatoes as well as fresh or frozen corn and peas offer you phytonutrients, antioxidants and fiber, and have much more calories than fibrous veggies. If you knowledge any symptoms of a food allergy such as a runny nose, tongue swelling, itchy eyes or facial redness, then discontinue consumption of Medjool dates and seek healthcare focus.

August 22, 1987: Roy Clark became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Dates have about 2.eight calories per gram, which implies they are medium-energy-density foods. Skip the dried fruit, fruit cups and fruit juice, all of which are greater in calories or lower in fiber and simpler to over-consume,” she states.

Eating Medjool dates frequently is one way that you can up your intake of calcium and phosphorus. A vegan diet, which is higher in fruits, vegetables, healthier fats and complete grains, will give an abundance of vitamins and minerals. Numerous people consume dates complete, or chop them up for dessert purposes.

As we know, LDL cholesterol is a main contributing factor to heart attacks, heart illness and stroke, creating these tasty dates a great heart-healthier choice. If a date has formed sugar crystals, it is generally less than best to consume, as the flesh will be dry and leathery.

Most fresh fruits and vegetables are alkalizing. According to the USDA, 1 cup of orange juice has about 120 calories, 1.five g protein, .five g fat, 29 g carbohydrates, .five g fiber and 21 g sugar.

All fresh fruits on the Weight Watchers diet program have points. Consuming plenty of alkalizing foods helps balance the effects of acidic foods in the physique.

A common meal program for the Mediterranean diet regime may possibly consist of eggs with fresh fruit and a modest bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, a salad of fresh vegetables tossed with olive oil and vinegar and fresh whole-grain bread for lunch, and broiled chicken breast with a 3-bean salad for dinner.

A fiber-wealthy diet is important for diabetics due to the fact fiber slows the speed at which carbohydrates enter your bloodstream, assisting to stop spikes in your blood sugar, according to Elisa Zied, R.D., author of "Nutrition at Your Fingertips." Fiber in the diet program is also related with a healthful weight, which can support manage diabetes.

You can only hike in or take a train and then a bus, but there is no easy way to get there which tends to make it even far more impossible to think that the entire internet site was built by hand over https://greendiamond.com.my a mile up in the mountains when most individuals struggle to merely stroll up the stairs carrying only a camera and a water bottle.

Last but not least, when Medjool dates are created into a paste, they turn out to be an awesome, nutrient-dense sugar substitute. It is healthier and has a lot much more protein and less fat than llama meat. A lot of diabetics assume they must keep away from fruit due to its high sugar content material, but the American Diabetes Association recommends consuming fruits simply because they're loaded with vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Nationally recognized independent Grand Ole Opry historian Byron Fay delivers news and comments relating to nation music's premier show.

9 Pear Benefits

1. High in Fiber

With over five grams of fiber in every pear, pears are the ultimate high-fiber food and a great way to make sure you’re covering your bases of 25–30 grams daily. Fiber contains zero digestible calories and is a necessary element of a healthy diet since it helps sustain healthy blood sugar levels and promotes regularity.

One of the most researched aspects of pear nutrition is pears’ compound called pectin fiber. Pectin fiber is more than just a regulator; it’s a type of special beneficial fiber that’s water-soluble and helps lower cholesterol and increases digestive health.

Apples are usually known for providing pectin, but pears are actually a better source. As a soluble fiber, pectin works by binding to fatty substances in the digestive tract, including cholesterol and toxins, and promotes their elimination. This means pear nutrition benefits the body’s detoxifying capabilities, helps regulate the body’s use of sugars and cholesterol, and improves gut and digestive health.

2. High Source of Immune-Boosting Vitamin C

One pear provides a good dose of the daily vitamin C you need, a powerful antioxidant that fights free radical damage and lowers oxidative stress. Vitamin C is sometimes even called the most powerful vitamin on the planet! One fresh, medium-sized pear contains about 12 percent of the recommended dietary allowance for vitamin C (also called ascorbic acid), which is beneficial for protecting DNA, stopping cell mutation, maintaining a healthy metabolism and repairing tissue.

Pear nutrition benefits your skin too. Vitamin C from high-antioxidant foods like pears helps increase skin’s immunity and has anti-aging effects because it promotes skin cell renewal. Vitamin C foods also help heal cuts and bruises and guard against a number of age-related and infectious diseases.

3. Provides Antioxidants

In addition to vitamin C, pear skins (or peels) also contain important phytonutrients, including polyphenols, phenolic acids and flavonoids, that can help ward off disease formation, so don’t peel your fruit! In fact, when researchers studied the antioxidant capacity of pears and apples, they found that diets that included the fruit peels had a significantly higher level of healthy fatty acids (higher plasma lipid levels) and antioxidant activity than diets that discarded the peels and only ate the fruit’s pulp.

Diets high in fresh fruit, including pears, have also gained a lot of attention for having anti-inflammatory and cancer protective effects — due to their high levels of essential nutrients like vitamin C, antioxidants and phytochemicals. Those essential nutrients and antioxidants make pears one of the better anti-inflammatory foods around.

Another important way pear nutrition benefits you? Pears also have antioxidant and anti-carcinogen effects thanks to glutathione, a “super antioxidant” known to help prevent cancer, high blood pressure and stroke.

According to studies by the National Cancer Institute, consuming fresh fruit daily shows positive effects on the body’s ability to prevent cancer growth, reduce inflammation, remain in pH balance, decrease oxidative damage to lipids and improve antioxidant status in healthy humans. It’s also true that eating more fruits and veggies is the best way to detox your body of harmful substances and toxins. This is the primary reason that every year U.S. national policymakers set a national dietary goal to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among both children and adults.

4. Can Help with Weight Loss

Fruit and vegetable intake has been proposed to protect against obesity, according to extensive research. Over and over we see that the more fresh vegetables and fruit someone eats, the less likely she is to gain weight and struggle to maintain her health. Longitudinal studies among overweight adults find that a high-fiber diet coming from fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with slower weight gain, likely because fruits and vegetables are so nutrient-dense and low in calories. A pear is a great filling, hydrating snack that won’t weight you down — plus it’s easy to toss one in your bag and take it along with you during a busy day.

5. Helps Improve Heart Health

One of the most noteworthy pear nutrition benefits? Higher fruit intake is linked with lower rates of heart disease. Epidemiological studies show a correlation between a diet high in fruit and vegetables and a lower risk for cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks and strokes. The beneficial effects of fruits and vegetables are probably due to the presence of antioxidant phytochemicals that keep arteries clear, lower inflammation and prevent high levels of oxidative stress. We also know that the specific type of fiber found in pears called pectin is very useful in helping to lower cholesterol levels naturally.

When researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health followed adults over a 15-year period, they found that overall greater intake of fruits and vegetables was associated with lower risk of all-cause death, cancer and cardiovascular disease, which supports the general health recommendation to consume multiple servings of fruits and vegetables (ideally five to nine a day of different types). There’s also evidence accumulating for fruit having a protective role in strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diverticulosis and hypertension too.

6. Improves Digestion

As a high-fiber food that provides essential nutrients, eating more pears is a great way to prevent or treat digestive issues. In fact, adding more fiber to your diet from whole foods is the best natural constipation relief remedy there is. Pear nutrition benefits digestive health because of the pectin found in pears, which is considered to be a natural diuretic and has a mild laxative effect. This means either eating whole pears (including the skin), blending them into a smoothie or drinking pear juice can help regulate bowel movements, prevent water retention and decrease bloating.

Higher fruit intake is also correlated with better general digestive health, especially of the colon. The phytonutrients found in pears and other fruit protect the digestive organs from oxidative stress, help alkalize the body and balance pH levels. Eating more pears might also be beneficial as a natural hemorrhoid remedy and treatment.

7. Helps Fight Diabetes

Although pears and other fruits or vegetables contain natural sugars in the form of the fructose, higher fruit and vegetable intake is inversely associated with diabetes incidence, especially among women. After following over 9,600 adults ages 25–74 for about 20 years, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that eating five or more combined fruits and vegetables daily significantly cut the risk of diabetes formation. Researchers now know that certain flavonoids in fruits, including pears, can improve insulin sensitivity, which is key for preventing and treating diabetes in addition to weight gain.

Pears are considered a fruit low on the glycemic index. Each one has about 26 net grams of carbs, but because of the high fiber content in pears, they unleash sugar into the bloodstream slowly and therefore have a low glycemic load. Compared to eating packaged sweets filled with refined sugars that can negatively impact blood sugar levels, eating pears instead is a great way to appease your “sweet tooth” naturally without negative impacts.

8. Makes a Good Pre- or Post-Workout Snack

Like all fruit, eating pears can provide you with a quick boost of energy before a workout. Pears are a natural source of fructose and glucose that the body uses quickly to enhance physical performance, concentration and stamina, which makes pears excellent pre-workout snacks. You also need glucose after a workout to replenish glycogen reserves and help heal muscle tears, so consider having a pear along with a healthy source of protein as a post-workout meal or snack following exercise.

9. Helps Maintain Bone Health

Pears are a good source of two nutrients key to skeletal health: vitamin K and boron. Vitamin K deficiency puts you at great risk for bone-related disorders since it works with other essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium and phosphorus to prevent bone breakdown. In fact, some experts even consider vitamin K to potentially be the most important nutrient there is for fighting osteoporosis — vitamin k even builds bones better than calcium.

Boron uses include the ability to help keep bones strong by adding to bone mineral density, preventing osteoporosis, treating inflammatory conditions like arthritis, and improving strength and muscle mass. Boron is often underutilized in terms of preventing osteoporosis, but many health experts consider it an important part of preventing age-related bone disorders.

Again The Fashionista Orders... “A Bowl Of Salad, Please.”

The Amazing Morsel Of Vegetables And Fruits Had By Fashionistas Who Don’t Wear Much Of Makeup.

Photo by Tom Crew on Unsplash

Right off the bat, let's get one thing clear: I am not a doctor but a nutritionist. What that means is, I am not here to give any medical advice. Almost everyone who writes about anything to do with a medical subject always tells you to "check with your doctor before following this or any other diet or health regimen."

Is this a good advice? In my opinion, the answer is mostly no. Why then, does nearly everyone who writes about health include a phrase about seeing your doctor first?

The answer is easy: It’s a disclaimer. And the truth is… I am no different from them. But here’s the important thing:

Does that mean I am about to reveal to you in this exciting post is any less meaningful or untrue?

Far from it. The fact is… the information you’re about to learn will quite literally transform your health. And I am dead serious about it.

With that out of the way, let’s get going.

We are going to start, oddly enough, by talking about your concealer.

Wearing that floral red and yellow short skirt, brown high ankle boots, you use a concealer to hide dark circles under your eyes, and a few marks on your face from the public. Of course, it feels essential to you if you want to be seen by the world. There is no doubt about it. If you stop wearing makeup, you feel ugly and undesired (that is a loss of your feminine characteristics) and your sense of well being.

You become grumpy and cranky. You do not talk to your friends. Instead, you want to hide from them. Ultimately, you become…

A Truly Miserable Creation!

Looking at your reflection in the mirror is horrifying to you. As if that’s not enough, men in this society always shun and reject you. A rare good one may smile and passes with a fatuous remark like, “Oh, You’re tired and not being yourself. I don’t mind being with you.”

You don’t mind being with her?

Let me tell you something: A woman’s job is not to look beautiful (physically) all the time. She can have those days when she is going through a change… no… she is going to hell! Well, that happens when she is having a menopause but that is for another time.

Life’s certainly an up-and-down, up-and-down sort of affair, although for some (women) the downs seem to come as a surprise—almost as a delight, being so outrageous, so difficult to believe—whereas for others like you, sitting on the wall, looking unpretentious, it’s the ups that have come to appear a little preposterous, hard to credit; they strike you as a cunning bit of misdirection.

Speaking of which you feel misdirected as you’re sitting in a small beach restaurant you visit often during weekdays for lunch. Looking around, the place is jam-packed: an old couple sitting, smiling, and sharing a meat pie, and then there is a bunch of young teenagers on another table shouting and having fish and chips.

You order a bowl of salad and want to finish it off before moving your ass and run away. You have ‘Don’t Look At Me’ look on your face as you feel people staring at you. But each morsel of the salad gives you energy to take that s**t.

You swear under oath that this bowl does not contain an illegal health drug.

Prepping the area, working on the angles, and the light, you take a photograph (with your iPhone for Instagram) of that rustic bowl. Not to forget the props and the background. In this case, you avoid using any of them.

You don’t remember when was the last time you took a ’Selfie’ for your Instagram profile.

Now, what’s in that bowl? Hmmm… it contains what most of your food should have: all the required micro-nutrients your body needs in abundance.

Ingredients:

Crunchy Fresh Green Lettuce:

A sacred vegetable for ancient Egyptians, it may help in controlling anxiety, insomnia, and lowering cholesterol levels. With a constant supply of antioxidants, lettuce neutralizes the radical attacks on healthy tissues, cells, and DNA inside the human body.

Lettuce contains moisture, energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and sugars. The minerals and vitamins found in it include calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc along with vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin B6, C, A, E, and vitamin K.

Smooth and Silky chunks of Avocado:

Avocado has a high fatty acid content but contains extremely low levels of cholesterol. Avocados are considered a “superfood” and have a special position in the food calorie pyramid. Avocados are rich in various nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. They are also a good source of monounsaturated fatty acids and have a low sugar content. They are a good source of energy and contain a number of essential vitamins and minerals. Avocados contain calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper, manganese, phosphorus and zinc. They also contain minerals such as vitamin C, B6, B-12, A, D, K, E, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin. Furthermore, they are a great source of dietary fiber, and a single serving can provide more than 40% of the daily requirement!

Avocados are rich in potassium and successfully balance the potassium to sodium ratio which is vitally important to overall health. According to CAC (California Avocado Commission), a medium-sized Hass avocado contains almost 22.5 grams fat. Two-thirds of this fat is of the monounsaturated variety, and they are also very low in fructose. Perhaps most importantly, avocados have a unique collection of organic compounds like phytosterols, carotenoids, and flavonoids.

Some of the health benefits of Avocado are: aids in maintaining healthy skin, aids in digestion and weight management, keeps eyes healthy, protects liver, helps in morning sickness during pregnancy, dental care, Vitamin K deficiency, strengthens bones, nutrient absorption, and phytochemicals that are natural source of energy for your body.

Tip: Try preparing Guacamole with Avocado, a traditional Mexican and Central American dip that is also good as a topping on hamburgers and sandwiches.

Balls of Green Olives cut in half with chilies:

Olives are oval-shaped fruits, botanically known as Olea Europaea. Olives are native to the Mediterranean region, tropical and central Asia, warmer regions of South America and various parts of Africa. They have been used for their culinary value and medicinal benefits for thousands of years, way back to ancient Greece and Rome. They are a staple ingredient in the Mediterranean diet and are enjoyed in salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pesto, or tapenade. Table olives (the ones which are not grown for extracting oil) can be consumed as a salty snack or appetizer.

There are close to 2,000 varieties of olives grown across the world, and each of them has more or less of the important components that add to your health. The two main types of olives are black olives and green olives.

The health and medicinal benefits of olives mainly come from iron, calcium, fiber, copper, vitamin E, vitamin K, choline, sodium, phenolic compounds, and oleic acid present in them. Olives are a rich source of antioxidants like [4] oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, oleanolic acid, and quercetin. They also have a low glycemic index (GI).

A range of health benefits includes their ability to protect against antioxidant damage, heart disease, reverse bone loss, prevent various cancers, reduce inflammation and arthritis and improve digestion. They help to soothe allergic reactions, improve blood circulation, boost cognitive function, defend against infections, and lower blood pressure.

Bloody Red Cherry Tomatoes:

Let’s add some more color to the bowl. Tomato is considered both, a fruit and a vegetable and forms an integral part of cuisines across the globe, especially in the Mediterranean region. Daily consumption of tomatoes provides a great boost to the health, along with improving the flavor of food. You can find them in different foods like pasta, pizzas, ketchup, and various beverages. They are relatively easy to cultivate and grow very quickly, making them a great food source, which is a big reason why tomatoes are a staple food for many nations.

The scientific name of tomatoes is Solanum lycopersicum and they are believed to be native to Mexico. They are an annual nightshade plant and grow in clusters of small to moderately sized, round red fruits. They have soft, pinkish red flesh and a number of seeds, as well as a slightly sweet taste. They are considered both, vegetables and fruits and weigh approximately 4 ounces.

The health benefits of tomatoes include eye care, good stomach health, and a reduced blood pressure. They provide relief from diabetes, skin problems, and urinary tract infections too. Furthermore, they improve digestion, stimulate blood circulation, reduce cholesterol levels, improve fluid balance, protect the kidneys, detoxify the body, prevent premature aging, and reduce inflammation.

Tomatoes consist of a large number of antioxidants that have been proven to fight different forms of cancer. They are also a rich source of vitamins and minerals and exert a protective effect against cardiovascular diseases.

Carbs from Fried Brown squares of Ezekiel Bread Crumbs:

To make the salad more crunchy and interesting, a handful of small pieces of Ezekiel bread crumbs are scattered on top. Ezekiel bread is a modern health phenomenon and can deliver a number of excellent health benefits, including the ability to regulate blood sugar, lower blood pressure, improve digestion, eliminate allergic reactions, boost liver health, and reduce your risk of heart disease.

Most people know how bread is made–making a wheat-flour dough and then culturing it with yeast before baking it in an oven. The vast majority of bread is made with un-sprouted grain, but that isn’t the case with Ezekiel bread. Furthermore, Ezekiel bread is usually made with four different types of grains, as well as various legumes, all of which are allowed to sprout before being processed, mixed together and baked. In recent years, Ezekiel bread and other types of “sprouted bread” contain the bran, germ, and endosperm, whereas most traditional bread only contains the endosperm, after the bran and germ have been removed.

In comparison to “white” bread, Ezekiel bread has far more protein, fiber, and minerals than traditional bread. Some people mistakenly think of Ezekiel bread as a safe gluten-free option, but the four grains used in this bread are wheat, barley, millet and spelled, all of which contain gluten except for millet. However, sprouting grains contain much lower levels of gluten, so for those with a sensitivity, rather than an intolerance, Ezekiel bread can be a much lighter option for the digestive system.

Reference.

Combined with the four types of grains are two types of legumes – lentils and soybeans, which is where the majority of the protein in this bread comes from. Once all of these grains and legumes are allowed to sprout, their nutritional composition changes and the subsequent bread that can be made is much healthier than traditional options. This bread contains fewer carbohydrates and fats, and more protein, as well as high levels of certain minerals and vitamins. Ezekiel bread is the most popular type of sprouted bread, but depending on the composition of grains and legumes, it is possible to create a bread that is a “complete protein”.

Salty and tangy Cucumber Pickle:

Pickling is one of the oldest methods of food preservation. Before the invention of modern refrigeration, pickling was the only way to preserve various foods for future consumption. Generally, pickling began as a method to preserve foods that are either exotic or seasonal and limited by nature and cultivation.

The process of pickling can be generally traced back to India, as it is believed to have originated about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. With hot summers and a lack of water during summers, food production decreased during the summer. Thus, there was a need to preserve excess food produced during winters and hence, the process of pickling was invented to overcome this problem.

The traditional way of preparing long-lasting pickles in the oriental style uses ingredients such as salt, oil, and dry chili powder mixed with condiments. These ingredients are added according to set proportions.

The health benefits of pickles include a good supply of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which contributes to diabetes control, improved digestion, liver protection, a supply of probiotics, and the ability to heal ulcers.

According to the NSDA, sour cucumber pickles contain moisture, energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and sugars. The minerals found in this pickle include iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, and sodium. This pickle also contains vitamins that include thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, vitamin B-12, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin D, vitamin C, and vitamin K.

Shreds of Protein filled Mozzarella Cheese and Cottage Cheese:

Cottage cheese is prepared by boiling and curdling milk with the help of acidic substances such as lime or vinegar. As the milk boils, it starts to curdle, forming lumps of curd. This curd is then pressed to squeeze out the whey or milk serum to form a big lump of curd or cheese.

The health benefits of cottage cheese include weight loss, a good supply of protein, B complex vitamins, and healthy fats, as well as a reduced risk of breast cancer. Cottage cheese is also a good source of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium, which play a vital role in many of the body functions. Cheese provides relief from hypertension and osteoporosis. It also helps in maintaining bone health, gaining weight and dental care. For ages, it has been part and parcel of daily life in Europe, America, Australia and nearly every country in the world that has a cold climate, except certain countries in the Indian Subcontinent and the Middle Eastern region.

The nutrients found in cottage cheese (100 g) include energy (98 kcal), carbohydrates (3.38 g), fat (4.5 g), sugar (2.6 g), protein (11.12 g), vitamin A (37 ugs), and vitamin D (21 ugs). Other vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin are also found in different types of cheese. Adding it to your diet also provides certain vital minerals such as calcium, sodium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, and iron to the human body.

Leafy Kale and Spinach:

Kale is a leafy green cultivar of the Brassica oleracea species, which also includes broccoli, cauliflower, savoy, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and collard greens. While many people think of these vegetables as different species, with different flavors and culinary applications, they are actually all the same species, broken down into seven major cultivar groups. Based on these classification groups, kale is most closely related to collard greens. It boasts either green or purple leaves that tend to be wrinkled or curly, and quite dense and stiff, unlike other Brassica oleracea cultivars that form a tight head in the center of the plant, surrounded by thinner, flimsier leaves. Kale has been a part of the culinary tradition dating back to the ancient Greeks

Preparing salads and other dishes with kale seems to be a new health trend but this leafy green vegetable has been a popular food staple for centuries in various nations of the world. While not as widely loved as basic lettuce or spinach, it is an incredible source of nutrients and a worthy addition to any diet.

When you add kale to your diet, you will be benefiting from a huge amount of vitamin K (more than 1100% of the daily recommendation), as well as significant amounts of vitamin A, vitamin C, copper, and manganese.

Additionally, there are decent levels of potassium, calcium, iron, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, thiamin, niacin, folate, and phosphorus. There are also a number of powerful antioxidants found in kale, namely lutein and zeaxanthin, as well as kaempferol and quercetin.

Finally, a single cup of this vegetable only has 36 calories but provides a notable amount of protein. Overall, the nutritional density of kale is extremely beneficial for a healthy diet.

There are a number of very impressive health benefits of kale, including its ability to boost skin health, reduce hair loss, improve digestion, prevent heart disease, defend against cancer, aid weight loss efforts, manage blood sugar, eliminate inflammation, detoxify the body, stimulate the immune system, strengthen bones and support good vision.

Tip: Adding kale leaves into a salad mix will improve the flavor profile of the salad, especially when the dressing has a strong sesame or soy sauce base to counter the flavor of the leaves.

Spinach is a member of the Amaranthaceae family and its scientific name is Spinacia oleracea. It is a green, leafy vegetable that is cheap and affordable for everyone. It is a rich source of minerals, vitamins, pigments, and phytonutrients.

All of these together make spinach very beneficial for a number of vital processes. Due to the vast range of benefits from this vegetable, it is advisable to consume spinach on a regular basis. One of the biggest reasons why spinach is so important and valued around the world is that it is very durable. It can even survive through the winter and be just as healthy in the spring.

Spinach can be eaten raw as a part of many salads, and it can also be cooked or sauteed down into a reduced form. This can be eaten as a side dish vegetable or added in a number of recipes for soups, stews, and casseroles. It is native to the Middle East and was cultivated in Persia thousands of years ago. From there, it was brought into China, approximately 1,500 years ago. It made its way into Europe a few hundred years later and quickly became a staple in a number of cultural cuisines.

The health benefits of spinach include skin care, improved eyesight, regulated blood pressure, stronger muscles, and prevention of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and hemophilia. It is also good for treating cataracts, atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and neurological disorders. It helps in bone mineralization and exerts anti-ulcerative and anti-cancerous benefits. Aside from all this, it aids in the healthy fetal development and growth of infants.

The various health benefits of spinach are due to the presence of minerals, vitamins, pigments, and phytonutrients, including potassium, manganese, zinc, magnesium, iron, and calcium. Spinach is a green vegetable which has a very wide distribution. It can be grown as a backyard crop or bought from the market at affordable prices. It is a source of vitamins like folate, niacin, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, and contains traces of the rest of the essential vitamins.

Other important elements, including thiamine and riboflavin, which are used in various reactions in our body, are also found in spinach. Spinach is also rich in pigments like beta-carotene, lutein, xanthene, and chlorophyllin. The best part is that spinach has a low-fat content. Spinach offers a wide range of benefits to most of our physiological processes, whether consumed in raw or cooked form.

All topped with French dressing:

French dressing contains Red Wine Vinegar, Dijon Mustard, Dried Garlic, Paprika, Salt, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a strong-smelling, pungent-tasting herb. It is a close relative of onion and is native to Central Asia. It has been used as a food-flavoring agent and as a traditional medicine. Mankind recognized the curative qualities of this magic herb over 3,000 years ago. Sir Louis Pasteur, the scientist who discovered pasteurization, effectively utilized the anti-bacterial qualities of garlic all the way back in 1858. World War I medical surgeons used the health benefits of garlic juice as an antiseptic for treating war wounds.

Allicin in garlic provides innumerable health benefits which include combating cold and cough, lowering blood pressure, fighting heart ailments, and preventing Alzheimer’s. It also helps relieve earaches, treat intestinal issues, cure wounds, prevent cancer, and relieve gas.

Garlic contains useful minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, zinc, calcium, and iron, as well as trace minerals like iodine, sulfur, and chlorine. It is a rich source of vitamins like folate, thiamine, niacin, and vitamin C, A, K, and B6. In terms of organic compounds, it is one of the rare sources of allicin, allisatin 1, and 2. The herb is really low in calories, saturated fats, and sodium.

Most salad dressings should contain olive oil which has been used by mankind for many centuries. It is also utilized for cooking purposes, developing cosmetic products and soaps, for medicinal purposes, and as pharmaceutical supplements. It can also be used as fuel and for lighting lamps. Olive oil is an essential fruit oil, which we get from the olive tree crop found mainly in the Mediterranean regions.

The health benefits of olive oil include treatment of colon and breast cancer, diabetes, heart problems, arthritis, and high cholesterol. It also aids in weight loss, improves metabolism, digestion, and prevents aging. It is a staple ingredient for many culinary preparations and also serves a variety of medicinal purposes.

It helps in lowering the bad cholesterol levels in our blood, as it is rich in monounsaturated fats. The extra virgin olive oil variety contains the highest level of antioxidant polyphenols and oleic acid. It is thus a healthier option compared to other vegetable oils.

However, it also has lots of calories, so it should be used in moderate amounts for the best health results. The Food and Drug Administration recommends 2 tablespoons every day to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Rich in antioxidants, vitamin K, and vitamin E, olive oil boasts a very good nutritional profile. It has mono-saturated fats like oleic acid and palmitoleic acid, which constitutes 10g of the total fatty acid count of 14g in this oil. Olive oil is also free of carbs and cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of heart diseases. The calorie count of this oil is similar to canola oil or butter, at around 120 calories in 1 tbsp of olive oil.

After paying for the salad with your card, you take a four-minute stroll from the restaurant to your workplace where you’re about to do something in the few darkling hours.

This may involve calling your clients, entering some data on your computer, filing or documentation, or anything else that is termed as Work. Sitting on your chair pushing back and forth; you’re playing with that black ball pen you are holding and sipping green tea from your favorite mug.

It looks like the air conditioner in the hall is not working properly. Each employer in that hall among you understands in this moment that Life is not just a vacation you come on this earth to enjoy. But now you know that it is beautiful only if you take care of your body and mind by eating well, exercising, and thinking positively. You will not give in; no, you’ll accept your weaknesses and work on them. The rage of looking beautiful all the time is not there in you as you

However, one day of the year 2048 you will look at your reflection in a mirror you’ll see wrinkles on your face no makeup will be able to hide while your grandkids playing around you. A year when they will be adults. As they say not everything goes round and round. Some things go up and —

By the time you reach home all is dark. A young couple of street performers in their twenties, wearing skinny jeans, and baggy t-shirts — playing with rings and balls — just finish their act and start packing their stuff while collecting money from the ground. On your way, you see most people looking down on their phone screen. We’re very faithful slaves of this amazing technology. You take stairs instead of elevators to your apartment on level 3 of this building as you always like to do around this time.

Later, looking out of the balcony, onto the streets, You’re eating a bowl of salad.

Is a Gluten-Free Diet Right for You?

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

These days, you can’t go anywhere without hearing about gluten. Gluten-free diets, tons of gluten-free foods, a myriad of cookbooks filled with recipes without gluten…millions of people are doing their darnedest to avoid it. And while going gluten-free is imperative for everyone with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by even minute amounts of gluten, some proponents claim that everyone should avoid gluten altogether. Critics on the other hand denounce the gluten-free craze as just another passing fad.

The truth lies somewhere in between.

Celiac: A Serious Autoimmune Disease

When individuals with celiac disease eat gluten, their immune systems go into overdrive, producing autoantibodies that attack their own tissues. The primary target is the villi, which line the small intestines and are essential for the absorption of nutrients. Gluten causes inflammation and erosion of the villi, which prevents proper absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients and leads to a host of health problems.

Bloating, pain, diarrhea, and other stomach problems are the most common symptoms of untreated celiac, and nutritional deficiencies may result in weight loss, anemia, osteoporosis, stunted growth in children, and fertility/pregnancy problems. Celiac disease is also linked with intestinal cancer and other autoimmune diseases.

Strict avoidance of gluten allows the gut to heal and symptoms to improve, but patients must be ever vigilant, as any amount of gluten sets off this damaging autoimmune reaction.

At the other end of the spectrum are people who have no issues with bread, pasta, and other gluten-rich foods. Then there are those who haven’t been diagnosed with celiac but experience unpleasant symptoms when they eat wheat and other grains—and feel much better when they avoid them.

Gluten Sensitivity/Intolerance Is Real

It’s possible that they have undiagnosed celiac. After all, most of the estimated 1-2 percent of the population afflicted with this disease have not been diagnosed. It could also be a wheat allergy. Wheat is one of the more common food allergies, and dozens of potential allergens have been identified in this grain.

There is also increasing recognition of non-celiac gluten intolerance or sensitivity. Common symptoms, which appear after eating gluten-containing foods, include bloating, pain, and irregular bowel movements. Fatigue, brain fog, headaches, joint achiness, congestion, and skin problems are also often reported.

To be clear, this is not a gluten allergy, nor is there autoimmune destruction of the villi. In fact, gluten may not be the only trigger. Other proteins in wheat, such as amylase trypsin inhibitors, can also provoke symptoms, and imbalances in gut bacteria and leaky gut syndrome likely factor in as well.

Another potential culprit is FOMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols), carbohydrates that are abundant in wheat, barley, and rye as well as milk and a number of fruits and vegetables. Bloating, cramping, and diarrhea often improve with a low-FOMAPs diet—which obviously excludes gluten-rich foods.

Gluten is most often consumed in bread, pasta, and flour-based snacks and desserts: high-glycemic, calorie-dense foods can cause blood sugar swings, food cravings, weight gain, lipid abnormalities, and other aspects of metabolic syndrome. By eliminating these foods and replacing them with healthier options, you’ll feel better whether you’re sensitive to gluten or not.

Gluten-Free: More Than a Passing Fad

Gluten-free is today’s hottest food trend. Products once relegated to small sections in health food stores now line the shelves of supermarkets, and surveys suggest that nearly one in four Americans have tried a gluten-free diet.

Contrary to the claims of true believers, gluten isn’t bad for everyone, and giving it up is no guarantee of weight loss and boundless energy. A gluten-free diet can be very healthy—or loaded with calorie-dense, sweetened, highly processed products. Junk food is junk food, whether it’s gluten-free or not.

On the other hand, most of the criticisms leveled against this dietary approach are just plain absurd. It’s true that whole grains are linked with reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other chronic diseases—but so are fish, vegetables, fruits, and many other foods. Grains are by no stretch of the imagination an essential component of a healthy diet.

The abundance of gluten-free products is a blessing, especially for patients with celiac disease who need to avoid all traces of gluten. Increased awareness has also helped many people understand the importance of identifying and eliminating problematic foods. However, the gluten craze has also made non-celiac gluten sensitivity easier to dismiss—especially by doctors who view diet therapy as unworthy of serious consideration.

Give Up Gluten, See How You Do

Diet changes are a cornerstone therapy at Whitaker Wellness. Most of our Back to Health Program patients are advised to cut out sugar, grains, and flour-based foods and eat more lean protein, vegetables, eggs, healthy fats and oils, plus a little fruit. This inexpensive diet treatment not only eliminates gluten but also other common triggers, FOMAPs, high-glycemic carbohydrates, and excessive calories.

Patients with a wide range of symptoms and diagnoses—from obesity and diabetes to autoimmune diseases and irritable bowel syndrome—do quite well on this diet. R.N., who suffered with gastrointestinal problems for as long as she can remember, had rapid relief from stomach distention, cramping, and nausea. She also reports feeling “mentally sharper and less foggy.” Ninety percent of Jess’s rheumatoid arthritis symptoms resolved after starting on this diet. William lost most of his belly fat, and Bill’s blood sugar control improved to the point he was able to discontinue his medications.

I’m not promising that a gluten-free diet works for everyone. But a healthy diet like the one recommend at Whitaker Wellness is a giant step on the road to optimal health. Why not give it a try?

How to Go Gluten-Free

An elimination diet, cutting out all gluten for at least a week, then reintroducing it, is the best way to figure out if you have gluten sensitivity. If you feel you may have celiac disease or a wheat allergy, talk to you doctor about testing. Finally, be aware that gluten is “hidden” in many common foods. To learn more, visit celiac.org.

How to Manage Diabetes With Another Life-Changing Condition

New Post has been published on http://type2diabetestreatment.net/diabetes-news/how-to-manage-diabetes-with-another-life-changing-condition/

How to Manage Diabetes With Another Life-Changing Condition

How to Manage Diabetes With Another Life-Changing Condition By Allison Tsai May 2017

Wayne Bottlick was discussing lunch plans with coworkers on a warm spring day in 2008 when he started to feel ill. Bottlick, who has lived with type 1 diabetes for 51 years, thought he might be having a low. A quick finger stick revealed that his blood glucose was normal. A few minutes later, Bottlick had a seizure—the first sign of a condition that took two years to diagnose: brain cancer.

“While type 1 diabetes was certainly a life-changing and challenging event that altered the course of my life, it did not stop my life. Brain cancer, on the other hand, has … been far more emotionally debilitating than type 1 ever was,” says Bottlick, 62, who underwent surgery to remove the tumor in 2010.

Researchers are still untangling the connection between diabetes and conditions such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. When it comes to heart disease, research has shown that diabetes raises the risk, but more research is needed to understand why. While discoveries are ongoing, here’s what to know about living with a double diagnosis.

Coping Mechanism

Diabetes is scary in itself. When life hits you with another curveball, and you’re diagnosed with a serious medical condition such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, or heart disease, it’s natural to experience a range of emotions. “It’s absolutely normal to cry, to be angry, to be upset, scared, and worried—all of those emotions and many combined at once,” says Alicia McAuliffe-Fogarty, PhD, CPsychol, vice president of lifestyle management at the American Diabetes Association.

Research shows that taking an active role in your health care decisions can improve your outcome. That can mean educating yourself about your treatment options, getting a second opinion to make sure the diagnosis is accurate, asking your doctor questions, and researching specialists and treatment centers.

Also important is encouragement from family, friends, health providers, and support groups. Having someone to talk to when you’re upset, or to help you out if you’re not feeling well, is comforting. “We know that when people have support, they have better health and mental health outcomes,” McAuliffe-Fogarty says.

Diagnosis: Cancer

With hearing the word “cancer,” a set of worries, questions, and uncertainties come into focus. You may also wonder how you’ll manage your diabetes with this new diagnosis: Will cancer treatments affect your glucose management? What are the possible side effects? Will your medications be affected? Your health care team will guide you in balancing your diabetes needs with your cancer treatments.

Treatment Concerns

How diabetes responds to cancer drugs is unpredictable. Your doctor’s holistic approach to your care is key, says Deena Adimoolam, MD, assistant professor of diabetes, endocrinology, and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. “It’s important that they’re addressing all of the side effects of these medications and how they can disrupt glycemic control,” she says. Treatments known to raise glucose levels include:

Chemotherapy

Nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and weight loss are all common side effects of chemotherapy that could require adjustments to your insulin and other diabetes medications, says Adimoolam. “Different medications, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are huge stressors on the body that can also cause hyperglycemia,” she says. If your glucose is trending higher or lower than normal, discuss medication adjustments with your doctor.

Steroids

Chemotherapy regimens often include steroids to bring down inflammation or help alleviate side effects such as nausea, says Dawn Hershman, MD, professor of medicine and epidemiology at Columbia University Medical Center. But steroids can drive up blood glucose. Depending on the circumstances, you may need a higher insulin dose.

Newer Anti-Cancer Agents

Targeted cancer drugs, such as P13 kinase inihibitors, tacrolimus, sirolimus, and everolimus, interfere with the growth process in specific cancer cells, says James Flory, MD, an endocrinologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Rather than kill healthy cells and cancer cells alike, these drugs target functions specific to the cancer cells and promote cell death. As with steroids, people taking these agents can see higher blood glucose levels.

Diagnosis: Alzheimer's Disease

When Brian Van Buren, 66, learned he had Alzheimer’s disease two years ago, he felt overwhelmed and stopped taking care of his type 2 diabetes. “I found that as my blood sugar levels rose, my cognitive ability decreased really significantly,” he says. Over time, he was simply forgetting to take his medication, including metformin and basal insulin. After his A1C shot up to 9.6 percent, he devised a system. He uses phone alerts to remind him to take his meds, and puts a week’s worth of pills in a plastic organizer.

Double Duty

Managing diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease can be tough, particularly as the dementia progresses, but one good thing to know is that Alzheimer’s medications do not typically interfere with glucose management or diabetes medications, says Luca Giliberto, MD, PhD, assistant professor of neurology at Northwell Health in Manhasset, New York. But medication side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may require that your doctor adjust your insulin dose or other diabetes drugs, he says. Also of note: A class of Alzheimer’s drug called cholinesterase inhibitors may decrease your heart rate, masking symptoms of hypoglycemia.

In the early stages of dementia, you may be able to set up a system, like Van Buren has, for remembering to take your diabetes meds. “This works until a certain point,” Giliberto says. “Eventually you will need somebody from the family to be there to administer the medications, or you will need a health aide to care for the person.”

Van Buren, meanwhile, is managing well. He’s lost 25 pounds by switching to a plant-based Mediterranean eating plan, and he’s training for a marathon. He also has his diabetes well managed. “I’m a lot calmer, and I seem to be able to focus much better than before,” he says.

Diagnosis: Heart Attack

It was shaping up to be a typical day for Ruby Hope, 57, when she stepped out for a walk around her neighborhood in St. Petersburg, Florida. Hope, who has type 1 diabetes, suddenly found that she had trouble walking even a block from her house. “I had a pain in my wrist, a little bit of shortness of breath, and an overwhelming feeling of doom,” she says. The next day, she went to see her primary care doctor, who immediately sent her to the emergency room. “Come to find out I had [had] a heart attack,” says Hope, who now works to raise awareness around heart attack and stroke risks in women.

Heart Help

Your doctor will want to find the right mix of medications for you. Darren McGuire, MD, MHSc, a member of the National Cardiovascular Data Registry and Diabetes Collaborative Registry executive steering committee, says researchers involved in large clinical trials have learned that some type 2 diabetes drugs protect against cardiovascular events, including the SGLT-2 inhibitor empagliflozin and GLP-1 agonists liraglutide and semaglutide. In one study of patients with prediabetes, pioglitazone, a drug in the thiazolidinedione class, reduced heart attacks in people with stroke.

Certain drugs used for cardiovascular health may have an effect on glucose management. Statins, for instance, bring down high cholesterol, but they’ve been shown to increase blood glucose, McGuire says. Usually the heart benefits make taking statins worth it—you and your doctor can adjust your diabetes medications, if needed. Medications used for high blood pressure, such as thiazide diuretics and select beta blockers, can raise blood glucose, while ACE inhibitors, also used for blood pressure, may create an insulin-sensitizing effect. Your doctor will work with you to find a medication and lifestyle regimen that keeps your heart healthy and your glucose in target range.

Day By Day

It’s natural to feel overwhelmed with a new diagnosis. Give yourself time to adjust and process,” says McAuliffe-Fogarty.

As for Wayne Bottlick, he’s now cancer free. He has short-term memory loss, though, which has affected his ability to work and manage his diabetes. He’s lost the knack for quick calculations when counting carbs and dosing insulin, but he has learned a few tricks to overcome this: He records every meal, insulin dose, and glucose check to help guide his decisions. “I go over the logs for the last two weeks before deciding how much [insulin] I should use,” he says. This system works well for Bottick, who says he’s learned to take one day at a time. “You just keep moving forward,” he says.

5 Ways to Cope

When you’re in a dark place, it can be hard to see the light. Alicia McAuliffe-Fogarty, PhD, CPsychol, has a few ideas to get you started:

Exercise. It relieves stress, helps clear your mind, and aids diabetes management.

Get support. Enlist family, friends, support group members, or a therapist to help you cope.

Spend quality time with family. Slow down and enjoy your loved ones.

Disconnect from the electronic world. Engage in the real world instead.

Meditate. This may help you to calm your mind.
