Fat, Food, and the Way You Live
One of the best ways to take care of your heart is by eating right. For those who are at risk of heart disease, that means controlling your fat intake. In this article, LifeBeat Online makes learning about fat easy. We describe various types of fat and give tips for monitoring the fat you eat.
The Importance of Fat
There are many reasons why your body needs fat. Fat, along with other nutrients, gives you the energy you need to do your daily activities. It also provides essential nutrients like fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. Essential nutrients are those your body can get only through food. Your body requires a certain amount of these fat nutrients.
Moderation Is Key
Fats, Good and Bad
Studies have shown that the type and amount of fat you eat can have a big impact on your risk of heart disease. Understanding the various fats will help you know what to eat and what to avoid.
Saturated Fat
Saturated fat is considered "bad" fat because it raises the levels of blood cholesterol. By controlling the total amount of fat you eat, you can often control your cholesterol levels to help stay heart healthy.

coronary heart disease
Coronary Heart Disease: Both diet and exercise affect a number of the risk factors for heart disease.
For example, each has been shown to have an influence on the process whereby arteries become clogged with fatty plaques, and also on the tendency of the blood to form clots (known as its thrombolytic capacity)..
In terms of nutritional impact on heart disease, the strongest evidence relates to intake of saturated fat, and to a lesser extent, dietary cholesterol. Numerous other food-related factors have been suggested to have an impact on heart disease risk, from alcohol through fresh fruit and veg to oily fish - some of these are thought to reduce the tendency of the blood to clot. These will not be reviewed here, to allow a focus on how exercise may affect some of the same metabolic risk factors..
Exercise appears to reduce heart disease risk via both direct and indirect effects. Recent evidence shows that physical activity can have favourable effects on blood-clotting mechanisms. Results from an ongoing research project in South Wales were published on this subject in the British Heart Journal ('Exercise, fibrinogen and other risk factors for ischaemic heart disease', Elwood et al, British Heart Journal, vol 69, pp183-187). This study has been following 2,398 men for a period of over 10 years. At one point during the study, questionnaires were used to quantify the amount of energy expended on leisure activities. A strong association was found between higher levels of activity and lower levels of blood fibrinogen (a factor which helps trigger blood clotting) and lower blood viscosity. This echoed similar findings from a number of earlier studies, which had found that exercise tends to decrease blood's thrombolytic tendency..

It is constructed as a pyramid to demonstrate a foundation of grains - bread, cereal, rice, and pasta (which our bodies need the most of) - with fats, oils, and sweets at the peak of the pyramid, demonstrating our body's need for only limited quantities of these substances.
  • Fats, oils, and sweets - found at the top of the pyramid, should be eaten sparingly. The ideal diet, according to the US Department of Agriculture / US Department of Health and Human Sciences, also consists of two-three daily servings of dairy products - milk, yogurt, and cheese, and protein - meat, poultry, fish, dried beans, eggs, and nuts. Three to five daily servings of vegetables, and two to four servings of fruit daily are recommended. Six to 11 servings of grains (i.e. bread, cereal, rice, and pasta) should be eaten each day.

Heart History
Before 1900, very few people died of heart disease. Since then, heart disease has become the number one killer in the United States. The age of technology has made life easier and made people more prone to heart disease. Before the Industrial Revolution, most people made their living through some sort of manual labor. Walking was the major means of transportation. Laundry was scrubbed and wrung by hand. Stairs were climbed, carpets were beat, and butter was churned. With the arrival of automation, life became less strenuous. Most manual labor was either replaced or assisted by machinery. Automobiles, washing machines, elevators, and vacuum cleaners became commonplace. Modern conveniences made physical activity unnecessary. Along with the change in lifestyle came a change in diet. Machines were built to homogenize milk, process cheese, churn butter, and make ice cream. Previously, such high-fat treats had to be made by hand. Fried foods, like potato chips, hamburgers, and french fries, became staples in many diets. The combination of a sedentary lifestyle and a rich diet led to an increase in clogged blood vessels, heart attacks, and strokes. Heart disease became commonplace. The rate of heart disease increased so sharply between the 1940 and 1967 that the World Health Organization called it the world's most serious epidemic.

That May Protect Heart Moderate drinking may boost levels of adiponectin a substance secreted by fat tissue that seems to affect how well the body responds to the sugar-processing hormone insulin according to the results of a study released last week. But the study also found that a diet rich in processed carbohydrates was related to lower levels of adiponectin.

[ PTI ] New Delhi: It's not just an apple a day which can keep your heart doctor away. What you need is a variety of whole grains, fruits and vegetables which help reduce the risk of heart disease and the overall risk of dying.
The new US Dietary Guidelines of Americans advocate choosing a variety of fruits and vegetables daily as also a number of grains, especially wholegrains. Recent studies report that a high intake of whole grain foods can protect one from heart disease.

Diet Does Not Fit All
Before going on a stringent diet to lower your risk of heart disease, you should be aware of your overall heart disease susceptibility, say medical researchers at Berkeley Lab. Two new studies led by Ronald M. Krauss, M.D., head of Berkeley Lab's Department of Molecular Medicine, suggest that only those at high risk significantly benefit from certain low-fat, heart-healthy diets. "The benefit of major dietary changes may best be assessed by determining the individual's genetic and metabolic profiles," said Krauss, who presented his findings at the American Heart Association's (AHA) 68th meeting. In the studies presented at the AHA meeting, registered dietitian Darlene M. Dreon, from Krauss' group, investigated the effects of a heart disease reduction diet on two types of patients: pattern A-those with low amounts of small, dense LDL (low-density lipoprotein); and pattern B-those with high amounts. LDL is a submicroscopic particle that transports cholesterol through the bloodstream.

The following was written by Atkins professionals. Obese men and women received a diet consisting of 20 to 30 grams of carbohydrate and 80 to 100 grams of protein. After 12 weeks, an additional 20 grams of carbohydrate was added to the meal. Results indicated favorable significant changes in body weight, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and blood sugar between weeks 1 and 12. There were no adverse changes that resulted. Consuming a short term ketogenic diet is a safe and effective way to decrease heart disease risk in obese individuals.

On November 12, 1999, the Food and Drug Administration announced its proposal to include the trans -fatty acid ( trans fat) content of foods on the standard food label. A 90-day period in which the public may comment then began. At present, only saturated fats are listed. Because many persons will be unfamiliar with trans fat and its health effects, we have prepared the following review.
BACKGROUND AND SCIENTIFIC REVIEW by Alberto Ascherio, Meir J. Stampfer, and Walter C. Willett Departments of Nutrition and Epidemiology , Harvard School of Public Health; The Channing Laboratory, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital What are trans fatty acids? Trans unsaturated fatty acids, or trans fats, are solid fats produced artificially by heating liquid vegetable oils in the presence of metal catalysts and hydrogen. This process, partial hydrogenation, causes carbon atoms to bond in a straight configuration and remain in a solid state at room temperature. Naturally-occurring unsaturated fatty acids have carbon atoms that line up in a bent shape, resulting in a liquid state at room temperature. Which foods contain trans fatty acids?

Sharp Declines in Heart Disease in Women Attributable to Improving Diet, Quitting Smoking, and Other Lifestyle Changes
For immediate release: Wednesday, August 23, 2000

Boston, MAResearchers at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) found a 31 percent decline in coronary heart disease (CHD) in a group of nearly 86,000 women followed over 14 years. A thorough analysis of the group’s diet, lifestyle, and medical history indicates that most of this improvement is due to healthier diets, quitting smoking, and use of postmenopausal hormones. During the course of the study, participants' consumption of red meat dropped by 38 percent, intake of trans fats dropped by 31 percent, and use of high-fat dairy products decreased by 43 percent. These changes were complemented by increases in consumption of cereal fiber, folic acid, and fish. Simultaneously, the smoking rate declined by 41 percent and the proportion of postmenopausal women using hormone therapy increased almost two-fold.

Coronary Heart Disease Coronary Heart Disease CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Almond consumption fits well with current American Heart Association guidelines to replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats and with the National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines to liberalize total fat intake, specifically from monounsaturated fat.
  • Dr. Gene Spiller holds the distinction of being the first researcher to conduct and publish research on the cholesterol-lowering effect of almonds in 1992 and 1998. In his most recent research, Dr. Gene Spiller of the SPHERA Foundation Los Altos, CA, confirmed that almonds either roasted, raw, or in a butter form reduced LDL cholesterol in men and women with high cholesterol blood levels. Dr. Spiller also reported that there was an increase in the HDL (high density lipoprotein) level in the group consuming almond butter.
  • Dr. David Jenkins, Faculty of Medicine, U of T, Canada assessed the effects of whole unblanched almonds as a dietary supplement, at 2 doses on the blood lipids of hyperlipidemic subjects.

In order to keep your LDL and your risk for heart disease low, you should start on the Heart Healthy Diet. The Heart Healthy Diet is an eating plan that can help keep your blood cholesterol low and decrease your chance of developing heart disease. Remember: the Heart Healthy Diet is fine for the whole family, including children from the age of 2-4 onward. Children under 2 years of age should not follow the Heart Healthy Diet - they need more fat to provide enough calories for growth and development. Heart Healthy Diet Guidelines you should eat:
  • 8-10% of the day's total calories from saturated fat fat Less than 300 milligrams of dietary cholesterol a day. Limit sodium intake to 2400 milligrams a day. Just enough calories to achieve or maintain a healthy weight and reduce your blood cholesterol level. (Ask your doctor or registered dietitian what is a reasonable calorie level for you.)
Heart Healthy Diet and You - Your Personal Eating Plan The recommendations for cholesterol and sodium are the same for everyone on the Heart Healthy Diet, regardless of the number of calories they should eat. You should eat less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol a day and no more than 2400 milligrams of sodium a day.

Insulin Resistance, Coronary Heart Disease and Diet
Gerald M. Reaven, MD
Introduction
It has become increasingly apparent that an elevated low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol concentration is not the only and, possibly not even the major, coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factor. Indeed, it appears that insulin resistance, compensatory hyperinsulinemia, and the consequences of these changes in insulin metabolism, represent CHD risk factors that are at least as powerful as a high LDL cholesterol concentration. The manifestations of insulin resistance/compensatory hyperinsulinemia, subsumed under the general heading of Syndrome X, are susceptible to dietary modulation, and this report provides a brief description of the dietary approaches to attenuate the CHD risk of patients with Syndrome X.
What is Syndrome X?
The fundamental defect in Syndrome X is resistance to insulin-mediated glucose disposal by muscle,(1) and this action of insulin varies approximately 10-fold in the nondiabetic population;(2) the more insulin resistant an individual, the greater the degree of compensatory hyperinsulinemia needed to prevent loss of glucose tolerance. It is this combination of insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia that differentiates Syndrome X from type 2 diabetes: decompensation of glucose homeostasis (type 2 diabetes) develops when insulin-resistance individuals cannot secrete enough insulin to overcome the insulin resistance.

Home Cooked Pet Diets And Nutrition
Ron Hines DVM PhD 6/28/04 Home cooked diets for dogs and cats can be made to meet the needs of a large group of veterinary patients. Home cooked diets for dogs and cats are time consuming but rewarding. Almost any diet for dogs and cats that can be purchased ready made can also be cooked at home. Home cooked diets often taste better to dogs and cats than ready made diets. Large batches of home cooked dets for dogs and cats can be frozen and thawed when needed. Specialty diets are a viable alternative for pets with heart, kidney, urinary tract, diabetes and obesity problems; as well as for intestinal problems and allergic skin disease in dogs cats and other pets. For obvious reasons, most pet owners prefer buying these products prepared through commercial suppliers such as VetCentric (www.pethealthcenter.org). However, should you desire, similar diets can be prepared at home. A diet suitable for cats and dogs with certain lower urinary tract problems Oxalate stones form in an acid urine. They tend to reoccur and often have to be removed surgically. Although I have no experience formulating diets to prevent oxalate stone formation
