Heart disease
Animal fat, cholesterol, and protein make significant contributions towards the development of atherosclerosis and heart disease. A fascinating study was conducted to study the incidence of coronary heart disease deaths among the general population and among non-animal product using males over 35 years of age living in California. Among the non-animal product using males, non-vegetarians were found to have 56% of the heart disease deaths found among the general population, while lacto-ovo vegetarians had 39%, and total vegetarians had only 14% of the deaths found among the general populace.

Cancer
Scientists estimate that up to 35-60% of all cancers may be diet related.

Colon cancer: 149% increased risk among those that ate meat (beef, pork, lamb) daily over those who ate meat less than once per month—study done by Harvard University on 88,000 nurses. Those eating fish also showed an increase in colon cancer incidence. Another study done by Harvard University on 50,000 men showed a 3.5X increased colon cancer risk among those eating red meat 5+ times/week versus those eating red meat less than once per month. A European study found a doubled colon cancer risk among those who ate meat frequently versus those that rarely or never ate meat. Studies done in Australia also gave similar results.

Breast cancer: Research on 140,000 Japanese women demonstrated a 4X increased risk of breast cancer among high meat consumers versus low meat consumers—after adjusting for all other known risk factors. A study in Norway demonstrated a doubled risk among those eating meat 5X+/wk versus those eating meat twice or less weekly. Other studies have shown that those eating the most animal fat have the highest breast cancer risk (60% increased risk).

Prostate cancer: In the Health Study, those consuming the largest quantities of animal products had a 3.X times risk of dying from prostate cancer. In a Harvard Health Professionals study on 50,000 men they found that those that ate red meat 5X/wk had 2.5X greater risk of life-threatening form of prostate cancer. An association between prostate cancer and animal fat has been shown through international research, whereas no relationship was noted to vegetable fat.

Ovarian cancer: Incidence among 100,000 in general population rose from 15.9 for lacto-ovo vegetarians to 26.4 among those that ate meat 4 or more times per week. A Japanese study suggested that 20% of all ovarian cancers were related to a high meat intake alone. Italians found that women who ate meat 7X or more per/wk had a 60% increase in ovarian cancer, 2X increase in those that used ham 4X or more per week.

Lymph gland cancer: In a study conducted on 35,000 women in Iowa, US, lymph gland cancer was found to be doubled in the upper third of red meat consumption versus those in the lower third. Hamburgers were especially implicated, in those eating hamburgers 4+ times/wk., they developed more than twice the incidence of lymph gland cancer.

Other cancers linked to high meat and animal product consumption: lung cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, pancreas, liver, kidney, and womb.

Your normal weight depends on several factors including gender, height, size of your waistline, race, genetics, etc but average weight is 60 kg to 80 kg.
To confirm whether you have a normal weight or overweight, estimate your BMI which should be between 18 to 25, anything above or below this is abnormal.

Definition: Carbo = carbon and Hydrate = water

Carbohydrates are energy producing nutrients found primarily in foods of plant origin. They are commonly known as sugars, starches, and fibers.
1. Simple Carbohydrates: small sugar molecules that are sweet to the taste. Found in honey, fruit, milk, sugar, and sweet vegetables. There are 6 types of these simple sugars.
2. Complex Carbohydrates: contain many glucose molecules (and sometimes other sugars) that are linked together. There are 3 types of complex carbohydrates:
A. Starches: long, branched or unbranched chains of hundreds or thousands of glucose molecules, which are packed side by side. Found in grains, legumes, tubers, and root crops.
B. Glycogen: a storage form of glucose in the liver and muscles making glucose readily available when needed.
C. Fiber: structural parts of plants that contain bonds between the simple sugars that cannot be broken down by digestive enzymes. They contribute little or no energy.

The study of nutrition uses scientific research in an endeavor to measure human nutritional requirements for:
● Growth
● Maintenance and repair
● Activity
● Reproduction Nutrition

Optimal Nutrition Requires
• Good decisions in food selection
• Balance and variety in foods eaten
• Dietary choices based on quality scientific research .

What are nutrients?
Nutrients are substances used in your body to:
• Produce energy
• Provide essential building blocks for all the bodys needs and functions
• Protect the body from many chronic diseases The six (6) essential classes of nutrients include:
• Water
• Macronutrients (needed in larger quantities): carbohydrates, fats, protein

• Micronutrients (needed in small quantities): vitamins, minerals Chemical Composition of Nutrients Minerals (the simplest): Indestructible elements that help to facilitate chemical reactions. Each element is composed of identical atoms. For example, iron remains iron if the food is raw or cooked, if it is in the red blood cell, when the cell is broken down, and when the iron is lost from the body by excretion.

It is defined by scientists as an inorganic nutrient because it contains no carbon.

Water (next simplest): Made of two elements—hydrogen and oxygen. Classified as an inorganic nutrient.

Carbohydrate (more complex): A significant and efficient energy source (starches, sugars, fibers, and more). Classified as an organic compound since it contains carbon, as well as hydrogen and oxygen. They produce the least waste when used for energy.

Fat (more complex): Moderate source of dietary energy, needed for production of hormones and absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K. Found in cell walls. Helps store energy in the body. Classed as an organic compound.

Protein (more complex): Promotes growth, cellular repair, formation of DNA and enzymes, moderate energy production, and more. This organic compound contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (like carbohydrates and fats), but also contains nitrogen and sometimes sulfur.

Vitamins (more complex): Organic compounds needed in extremely small amounts for metabolic processes.

Being cautious in what you eat, wear, touch. Stop or reduce smoking and drinking alcohol, avoid GMO food products, do more exercise, walk or cycle to work, avoid escalators if possible, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid chunk food look such as chips, meat, sugar, spices, avoid stress, go for routine medical check ups and examinations to help detect early signs of cancers since early diagnosis leads to successful treatment.
