Getting to the Heart of the Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Dean L. Jones<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heart disease is the number one American\nkiller, leading cancer, chronic\nlower respiratory diseases, accidents (like car accidents and falls), strokes, Alzheimer’s,\ndiabetes, influenza, pneumonia, kidney disorders and suicide, respectively.  When getting to the heart of the matter of\nthis disease it can be prevented and\/or treated with making healthy lifestyle\nchoices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first choice is to limit and even eliminate\nthe consumption of added sugar in the day-to-day diet.  Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are\nadded to foods or beverages when they are processed or prepared.  Items such as sugar-sweetened beverages like\nregular soft drinks, sugars and candy, grain-based desserts such as cakes\ncookies, and pies, fruit punches, dairy desserts and milk products including\nice cream, sweetened yogurt, sweetened milk, and other grain-based foods such\nas cinnamon toast and honey-nut waffles, including table sugar, brown sugar,\nhigh-fructose corn syrup, maple syrup, honey, molasses and other caloric\nsweeteners in prepared and processed foods and beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is because too many Americans are continually\nover-eating these aforementioned items that the American Heart Association strongly\nrecommends that women consume no more than 100 calories (6-teaspoons of sugar)\na day from added sugars; and men consume no more than 150 calories (9-teaspoons\nof sugar) a day.  Yet, still dietary change breeds skepticism\nthat any of this knowledge bears importance to a healthy heart.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, the mere mention of vegetarian,\nvegan, or a pescetarianism lifestyle receives a downbeat reaction from a large\nnumber of people.  It seems that those\nwho refrain from consuming sugary items are considered somewhat different.  Nonetheless, following heart surgery doctors\nrecommend a dietary lifestyle that resembles that of a vegetarian, especially\nadvising heart patients to practice abstaining from the consumption of red\nmeat, smoking, and sugar, which may also include abstention from by-products of\nanimal slaughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetarians have a 32% lower risk of coronary\nheart disease than non-vegetarians, due in part due to eliminating brown sugar,\npowdered sugar or even raw sugar as all of them are made from refined white\nsugar.  Also, vegetarians have lower BMI,\nnon-HDL cholesterol and blood pressure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the record, a pescetarian diet\npractices eating fish or other seafood, but not the flesh of other animals.  Most pescetarians maintain a lacto-ovo\nvegetarian diet with the addition of fish and shellfish.  Where, rarely do practitioners of western\nmedicine advise their patients to take on a vegan lifestyle by abstaining from\nthe use of all animal products, veganism is a growing consideration for better\nhealth due to the rising numbers of people suffering from heart related\ndiseases.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, there are dangers from eating\nadded sugar, which by the way gets its white color from a refining process that\noften involves the use of bone char, meaning that it is an animal by-product.  Thus, getting to the heart of the matter of\ndisease is to live more SugarAlert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
