Mother Nature's Way by Charles R. Attwood, M.D., F.A.A.P. hen the chest pains started, Mary was on her regular flight from Miami to San Francisco. At age 46, she had worked as a flight attendant at American Airlines for over 20 years without missing a single day due to illness. She had always enjoyed excellent healthor so she thought. Now, within 3 hours she would find herself in a coronary care unit, where she was told that 3 coronary vessels were partically occluded, but one, the left anterior descending, was 95 percent blocked. The balloon angioplasty which followed gave her temporary relief, but after she returned home, within 12 weeks the vessel was closing again, and the chest pain returned. Another angioplasty was done, this time with a stint. Now, Mary was advised that she would almost certainly need bypass surgery. That's when she came to me. She had already read my book, because with a strong family history of heart disease she'd wanted to learn more about protecting her family from a similar fate. Now, that she was the victim herself, she had expected her cardiologist to offer serious dietary counseling. The doctor's dietitian, however, only suggested that she eat less red meat, more poultry and fish. She was given the USDA's food pyramid, which was, they said, designed to keep her calories from fat around 30 percent. She came to me for a more vigorous plan to reduce her dietary fat. Furthermore, she had correctly assumed that her cholesterol level of 210 mg/dl was too high, even though the cardiologist and dietitian seemed comfortable with it. Both seemed virtually certain that she would need a bypass, because the chest pain was beginning to reappear during routine physical activity.

About 25% of all Americans have one or more types of cardiovascular disease. The major types of heart disease are atherosclerosis coronary, rheumatic congenital, ... angina and arrhythmia . Heart disease can arise from congenital defects, infection, narrowing of the coronary arteries, high blood pressure , or disturbances. The first stages of heart disease are lesions and cracks forming in the blood vessel walls normally at the points of highest pressure or stress (near the heart). The second stage is the body trying to repair itself by depositing fatty substances ( cholesterol , lipoproteins) inside the blood vessels to fill the cracks. Over time, without the proper body nutrient, vitamin C , to help keep the blood vessel walls from cracking and requiring constant repair, these fatty substances can begin to build up and clog the blood vessels causing stroke and heart attack.

Diet Prevents Heart Disease (text quoted below from Joseph Keon's Whole Health "46 percent of all American men at age twenty-two already have the beginnings of coronary heart disease." Dr. Tazewell Banks, General Hospital, Washington, D.C. "[C]oronary heart disease remains the number-one killer in America, taking more lives than all forms of cancer combined. "Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is called "the silent killer" because it can progress to advanced stages without any indication of its presence. CHD is brought about by atherosclerosis ( athero meaning "paste" and sclerosis meaning "thickening" or "hardening"), or what is more commonly referred to as "hardening of the arteries," a process in which the coronary arteries (arteries that supply blood to the heart) undergo a gradual narrowing, reducing the blood supply to the heart. This narrowing of the arterial channel is brought about by a progressive buildup of a plaque composed of cholesterol, fat, damaged cells, and other debris, and is primarily the result of a diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol. While more serious stages of the disease may be detected by increased blood pressure or chest pain (pectoris angina), it is possible for the disease to progress significantly while the host remains symptom-free. "When the arteries to the heart become constricted, there is increased resistance to blood flow, and the heart must work harder to pump blood through the narrowed passage. In unchecked cases, this arterial plaque may become so great that one or more arteries feeding the heart may become entirely blocked, preventing blood from reaching the heart. Since blood is carrying oxygen to the heart, a complete blockage will result in a myocardial infarction, or what is more commonly known as a heart attack. While not all heart attacks are fatal, they are all serious, since the portion of the heart deprived of blood supply dies.

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..

Help in Preventing Heart Disease by Paula Kurtzweil My mother, an on-again, off-again low-fat, low-cholesterol dieter, rushed up to me in the grocery store one day last year. She was clutching a package of turkey frankfurters. Knowing I'm a registered dietitian, she pointed to the 5 milligrams of cholesterol listed on the package's nutrition panel and said, "Now, tell me: Is this high or low in cholesterol?" If she had been holding a package with the new Nutrition Facts panel, I wouldn't have had to stand there sputtering and stammering as I did, waiting for the answer to come to me. Instead, I would have quickly referred her to the %Daily Value column on the panel's right side. There, she would have seen at a glance that a serving of those turkey franks (two of them, about 55 grams) provided only 2 percent of the Daily Value for cholesterol. As a rule of thumb, foods containing 5 percent or less of the Daily Value for a nutrient are low in that nutrient. So, a serving of those franks was low in cholesterol.

This interim final rule is based on FDA's conclusion that plant sterol esters and plant stanol esters may reduce the risk of CHD by lowering blood cholesterol levels. Coronary heart disease, one of the most common and serious forms of cardiovascular disease, causes more deaths in the U.S. than any other disease. Risk factors for CHD include high total cholesterol levels and high levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

The DASH Diet This eating plan is from the "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension" (DASH) clinical study. The research was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), with additional support by the National Center for Research Resources and the Office of Research on Minority Health, all units of the National Institutes of Health. DASH's final results appear in the April 17, 1997, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. The results show that the DASH "combination diet" lowered blood pressure and, so, may help prevent and control high blood pressure. The "combination diet" is rich in fruits, vegetables, and low fat dairy foods, and low in saturated and total fat. It also is low in cholesterol, high in dietary fiber, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and moderately high in protein. The DASH eating plan shown below is based on 2,000 calories a day. Depending on your caloric needs, your number of daily servings in a food group may vary from those listed.

Heart Disease Nutrition and Diet Nutrition and Diet Alternatives Heart disease requires immediate attention and continuous follow up from a trained health professional. To avoid confusion about underlying problems, or interference with any ongoing therapy, the use of vitamin or herbal supplements must be discussed with your doctor before the regimen is begun. The fats that travel around in our bloodstream have an ability to turn into troublesome compounds. When fats combines with oxygen in the wrong place at the wrong time, they can turn into compounds known as free radicals. These compounds tend to combine with whatever is nearby, turning that compound into a free radical as well. The result is a chain reaction that can end up damaging the lining of the blood vessel, the first step down the road to heart disease and an eventual heart attack. A prudent nutritional defense strategy has, as its foundation, a high-fiber, low-fat plant-based diet that includes a hefty supply of antioxidant nutrients. A study in the Lancet ( Lancet 1994 Jun 11;343(8911):1454-9 Mediterranean alpha-linolenic acid-rich diet in secondary prevention of coronary heart disease. de Lorgeril M, Renaud S, Mamelle N, Salen P, Martin JL, Monjaud I, Guidollet J, Touboul P, Delaye J. ) reported that those who'd had a first heart attack and had subsequently adopted a so-called "Mediterranean diet" were 70% less likely to suffer a relapse than those following a standard low-fat diet.

CORONARY HEART DISEASE Coronary heart disease (CHD) is common, frequently fatal and, as a premature cause of ill-health, largely preventable. It affects more than 1.4 million people in the UK in some form. Although the prevalence of coronary heart disease is falling, it is still the major cause of premature death (i.e. before the age of 65 years) in the UK. It kills more than 110,000 people in England, of whom nearly half are under the age of 75. What is coronary heart disease? There are two main events that lead to CHD and also to the other forms of cardiovascular disease. The first of these is the process called atherosclerosis, which causes narrowing of the blood vessels. It happens when a type of fat in the blood called low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) plaque . This leads to a reduced flow of blood to the heart and may cause chest pain (angina), particularly during exercise. The second event is called thrombosis . This is when a large blood clot forms in the vessel, sometimes as a result of the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque, stopping the blood supply from reaching the heart. This is a heart attack. Blood clots form when the blood platelets (cells) stick together. Certain dietary factors can increase or decrease this tendency. For example eating oily fish regularly. What is cholesterol?

Diet and Heart Disease It is not what you think Author: Stephen Byrnes, ND, RNCP 5 contact hours Course posted June 11, 2000 Course expires June 11, 2002 Learning Objectives Upon completion of this 5 unit course, the learner will be able to: 1. Describe the main points and history of the Lipid Hypothesis of heart disease. 2. Describe the distinctions among the different types of fatty acids and their biochemical properties. 3. List the main objectives of the Lipid Hypothesis. 4. Describe the role of the high and low density lipoproteins in heart disease. 5. Describe the clinical implications and health benefits of saturated fats and the dangers of low fat/low cholesterol diets. Note to the student: Key points of this course are in italics and are preceeded by **. The Lipid Hypothesis As most health professionals know, heart disease is the Western world's number one killer. The Lipid Hypothesis is the current theory offered to explain how heart disease has risen to become the Western world's number one killer. Basically, this theory states that saturated fats and cholesterol clog the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis, heart disease, and an ever-increasing assortment of serious illnesses, most notably cancer. According to this theory, the main reason why heart disease and cancer rates have skyrocketed in this century is because people have been eating an increasing amount of saturated fat and cholesterol-rich foods. The solution to heart disease (and cancer) is to simply reduce our consumption of such foods, replacing them with more complex carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and unsaturated fats, especially polyunsaturated fats, which have been shown to reduce serum cholesterol levels.

The family of heart disease drugs identified as statins are technically the “3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors.” But what do they do, exactly, and how do they work? “Statins work, basically, by blocking cholesterol synthesis,” said Karen L. Fickel, MD , Medical College of Wisconsin Assistant Clinical Professor of Internal Medicine. “They do that in two ways. They ‘up-regulate’ receptors for the bad cholesterol, increasing the number of receptors to pull the bad cholesterol out of the bloodstream. “Statins also block the actual cholesterol production in the liver. They work by stopping the active enzyme, HMG-CoA reductase, which is the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis.” In fact, some health care practitioners consider statins “the new aspirin” because, like aspirin, they show such widespread benefits with minimal side effects.

COFFEY BREAK for HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES a different kind of coffee break with Gerry and Ray Coffey Disease-Free Living Through Fitness and Nutrition ARTICLES Heart Disease and Diet: An NBC Dateline Monday Feature - June 1997 By: Gerry Coffey Reporter Maria Shriver The husband, a pastor, was diagnosed with major heart blockage at the age of 34 and under-went Angioplasty: surgery to insert a tiny balloon through the clogged artery to enlarge the opening. But the results would be only temporary they were told, so on learning about the Ornish Program both husband and wife enrolled. Although the wife showed no disease symptoms, they felt unless it was a way of life both endorsed, it would have little chance of success. From Day One they were told to eliminate ALL fat from their diet (including Olive Oil, which many mis-informed health providers still recommend), along with meat, fish, fowl, eggs and dairy products. Also refined sugar, caffeine, chocolate, decaf and carbonated beverages. A daily exercise and stress reduction session was also part of the regime. Seven months into the program, the pastor suddenly experienced chest pain again and was rushed to the hospital.
