Question: 3 diet related disease related to a diet rich in fat?

Answer: According to Dr. Dean Ornish and scientific research he references in several books, a high-fat, high calorie western diet contributes to: - Obesity - High Blood Pressure - Heart Disease - Cancers (high fat diet) - Diabetes He shows scientific studies demonstrating a clear correlation between these diseases and the high-fat, high-calorie diet common to western cultures.

Question: Anyone on a gluten free diet for health reasons not related to celiac disease? I have just been placed on a gluten free diet due to health reasons but not for celiac disease or anything like that. My doctor actually thinks that it will help me to have less migraine headaches. Has anyone ever heard of this or had any success with this. Where can I go for more info on a gluten free diet? Thanks!

Answer: Migraines can be related to non-celiac gluten intolerance as well as celiac disease. I used to get awful headaches every single day until I went gluten-free. I never got a diagnosis, so I'm not sure if they were migraines, but I had the whole light and sound sensitivity with some visual auras sometimes. So I'm guessing if it wasn't migraines it was similar. The best place for information on the gluten-free diet is - http://www.glutenfreeforum.com There are over 12 thousand registered members. It's for anyone who is on or considering a gluten free diet for any reason. Hope you feel better soon. Nancy

Question: Would radical diet change solve the health care crisis? Today, we have diseases of poverty and also diseases of excess. In America and other Western countries, people suffer from high protein diet related diseases such as diabetes, some cancers, obesity, and heart disease. According to T. Colin Campbell, we could see a huge reduction in these diseases in America if we all ate less animal protein (dairy & meat). Is nutrition something to consider in the current health crisis of exploding costs? Should we levy huge taxes on McDonald's, KFC, and other unhealthy food products to encourage better meal choices? Perhaps we should subsidize leafy green vegetables instead of high fructose corn syrup. What do you think?

Answer: you know it would... its sad that most people can't appreciate natural foods more an eat more healthily. i mean, dont get me wrong, i love red meat, chips, cheese and all the sweets etc that are bad for you, but i eat them in moderation. people must learn to raise their kids of fruits and veg, they will learn to love the taste! nothing better in this world then a fresh juicy mango in my opinion

Question: explain how not following a balanced diet can lead to physiological problems related to cardiovascular disease

Answer: Eating a high fat diet contributes to cardiovascular disease. Fats are carried around in the body via cholesterol and, over time, some cholesterol will stick to the walls of blood vessels. The build up is called plaque and has a thin layer over it. The build up of plaque hardens the arteries and can block them. This is the main cause of heart disease. Every adult has some build up in his or her blood vessels, but it is the extent of the blockage which is most important. Heart attacks, or myocardial infarctions as they are called in the health care world, commonly occur when the layer covering the plaque is torn and a person's body tries to repair it by clotting blood. The rush and activation of clotting materials causes more blockage and can quickly close it off, depriving the tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Hope this helps.

Question: I have Crohns Disease and would like to diet. Does anyone have any diet plans specifically for this? I have Crohns Disease and seem to have put on about 4 stone due to having to take steriods on and off.

Question: Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease - how much of this is actually related to diet? What else can I do? My cat was recently diagnosed with FLUTD; this is actually the second cat of mine thats been diagnosed and the previous one unfortunately died cause of it due to stones. Regardless, I wanted to know how much of this disease can be attributed to what food my cat is eating. My vet, since the last blockage, is prescribing one of the vet diets - is this really necessary? Also, as the question states, what else can be done to prevent this from happening? As it's costing us thousands to correct, so it would be nice to maybe maybe a bit more for things over the cats lifetime than to pay thousands every year if this, or another one of my cats, had to get it. Thanks,

Answer: Hi Rowan...A little background about causes of FLUTD. It is caused by several factors, and combinations of these factors, which include obesity, stress, urinary pH, water and fibre intake in the animal's diet. Recurrence is common with FLUTD cats so preventive measures such a canned food diet to keep hydration levels high plus any other ways to encourage more water consumption is a must, easy access to multiple litter boxes in addition to regular check ups as well as supplementation with prescriptions depending on the severity of the condition. Cats who eat dry cat foods tend to suffer from recurring episodes and this seems to be a common denominator with cats diagnosed with various types of FLUTD. The idea is to acidify the urine because cats with FLUTD have low urine pH so your goal is to reverse this and canned foods have been known to achieve the results. Additionally, most commercial grade cat foods contain corn, corn meal which are fillers (carbohydrates) that bind the dry food together as a way of keeping foods lasting longer. Try finding cat food products which are devoid of these ingedients. The first ingredients should show chicken, chicken meal, etc. Most show the first ingredients as corn on the ingredient labels. IAMs, Science Diet, Purina, Whiskas, Friskies ...all have corn listed as the main ingredient. Cats who eat these tend to always feel hungry because the carbs don't metabolize fast enough and cats are obligate carnivores so they need a diet devoid of these types of carbs. Products such as Innova EVO, Nature's Variety Prairie, Wellness, Felidae, James Wellbeloved (for UK residents), are premium brands. Most cats who eat these find that they do not eat to eat as much because their appetite is better satiated. Most cats can maintain weight better by feeding a canned or raw food diet, which is very helpful for cats who suffer from FLUTD. For some reason the hydration in the canned or raw products helps metabolize food better and are also completely devoid of carbohydrates, which is more optimal for the feline's body and while at the same acidifies the urine pH which is perfect for cats who have FLUTD . When cats eat raw meat in the wild they get hydration from the fresh meat juices as well as some roughage from the animals who are natural herbivores. A mixture of canned and dry is an alternative for the busy lifestyle in a family always best for cats in the long-term. We are have been exposed to so many commercial ads regarding dry food for cats, but in reality it's the manufacturer's who benefit rather than the cats. Cats are not naturally designed to eat dry--the products were designed for convenience for the owner. Here's an article about commercial cat food; dry vs. canned, proper nutritional needs, etc: http://www.consumersearch.com/www/family/cat-food/review.html The Truth about Dry Cat Food: http://www.blakkatz.com/dryfood.html
