SUBJ: The Future of Nutrition by Colin Campbell
SUBtitle: Why We Keep Getting Nutrition Wrong, How to Start Getting It Right
Short and sweet this week as I am off to my 50 year college reunion-two years late due to COVID. I set up the folkdancing and folksinging events!
SHORT NOTES: A marvelous 11 minute podcast from the man who wrote the nutrition text I used; Exercise boosts tumor immunity, improves blood circulation, strengthens the heart, and controls weight; Wine is really good for you in moderation; a 50-year-old man has a 1 in 2 chance of getting heart disease-Instead of reading a list of possible illnesses, why not take deep breaths to relax, get some exercise, drink some water, take active steps to maintain your health.
LONG NOTES:
The Future of Nutrition: An Insider’s Look at the Science, Why We Keep Getting It Wrong, and How to Start Getting It Right-You have to click on the picture of the book The Future of Nutrition to hear the 11 minute podcast. Campbell’s book was the text for my nutrition course for many years.
Science 29 July pg 485-Exercise boosts tumor immunity, in addition to improving blood circulation, strengthening the heart, and controlling weight.
WeMD – Wine is really good for you. In moderation, wine can help lower your blood pressure, manage blood sugar, and reduce inflammation, among other benefits.
WebMD-Is alcohol a problem? You binge drink, you drink when it is causing you problems, you are pregnant, you are too young, you need to drink more, it affects relationships, you withdraw when not drinking, you drive afterwards.
WebMD-Illness after 50- 735,000 people have a heart attack every year. A 50-year-old man has a 1 in 2 chance of getting heart disease at some point, stroke- eat a low-cholesterol diet, manage your stress, exercise, and quit smoking. This goes on to a long list of awful conditions that you can worry about, and that stress can bring on many harmful conditions. Instead of reading such a list, why not take deep breaths to relax, get some exercise, drink some water, take active steps to maintain your health.
