“Because changing habits and lifestyle is daunting without support.”

WEEK 26 – WHY [AND HOW] TO COOK WITH NO OIL

Understanding oils and the negative impact they have on our health is one of the best first steps on your whole food, plant-based diet and lifestyle journey. Weight loss, reversing diabetes, eliminating inflammation and cancers are direct effects.

Doctors:    Arjun and Shobha Rayapudi, MD

Dr. Arjun Rayapudi is a general surgeon and a plant-based community nutritionist. He is certified by American Board of Surgery and is a Fellow of Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He did his surgical residency training at University of Florida and University of Illinois at Peoria after obtaining the medical degree from Rangaraya Medical College. He holds Plant Based Nutrition Certificate from Cornell University and Dr. McDougall’s Starch Solution Certificate. He is working as a General Surgeon and Endoscopist at Burin Peninsula Health Care Center, located in beautiful rural Newfoundland, Canada.

Dr. Shobha Rayapudi is a physician, epidemiologist, researcher, and a clinical trialist. Besides having obtained her medical degree from Rangaraya Medical College, she holds a Masters of Science degree in Epidemiology (clinical trials and evidence synthesis) from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a certification in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University. Working as a clinical trialist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Clinical Trials, her principle scientific interests have been on the effects of nutrition in preventing and reversing chronic diseases. Along with her rocking husband, beautiful son, and veggie-loving dog, she resides in beautiful rural Newfoundland.

We’ve been led to believe that the way we cook with oil is not harmful, especially oils like olive oil and safflower oil, canola, coconut, avocado, flaxseed oil or hemp oil. What studies have shown is that all oils have negative effects on our health. They are heavily processed and have little, if any nutritional value. We also learned that cooking with oil was the only way to cook everything. Now, it’s time to turn the tables and learn why you want to cook without oil, and how.

In their Just 1 Thing 4 Health Challenge Video, Drs. Arjun and Shobha Rayapudi tell us the upside of consuming oil (not much) and the down side (oil being pure fat), especially cooking with oil. They give the facts about the damage using oil causes and they demonstrate how to cook without oil and make it easy and fun.

In this 8 minute video, you will find out more helpful information and we challenge you to take the Doctors up on the Challenge they’ve given to you here.

Increase the gift of health that you give yourself by decreasing to ultimately eliminating oil from your diet.

Drs. Arjun and Shobha Rayapudi’s Challenge to you:

Cook for one week without using oil. If you find your food is sticking, use some water, vinegar, a vegetable broth, even cooking wine to add juice and bring out the natural flavor of your foods. Do this for one week, have fun with it and lose a few pounds, and possibly a few pills.

Find some great recipe ideas at www.giftofhealth.org where there are over 200 recipes, all oil free. And if you want to learn more about ‘Living Oil Free’, stay plugged in right here at Just 1 Thing 4 Health.

To assist you on your journey, here are some easy to follow steps to help you meet This Week’s Challenge:

A few tips to remember:

1. One of the most common foods that is detrimental to our health is oil.

2. All oils have a negative effect on our health, including:
….a. Olive oil
….b. Coconut oil
….c. Canola oil
….d. Sunflower oil
….e. Safflower oil
….f. Avocado oil
….g. Flaxseed oil
….h. Help oil
….i. Any oils

3. Oils are heavily processed and have minimal to no nutrient value.

4. To make 1 Tbs of olive oil, it takes 30-40 medium olives. While olives have nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin E, and minerals, like iron, copper and a little bit of protein, once processed into the oil, it has insignificant amounts of vitamins and becomes pure liquid fat.

5. Oils are calorie dense. Just 1 Tbs of oil oil has 120 calories, requiring a 1 mile run or a 1-1/2 kilometer run to burn off those calories. Consume more than 1 tablespoon and you can do the math.

6. Oil damages the inner lining of our blood vessels, the endothelium, which is the life jacket of the blood vessels. They secrete nitric oxide, an important substance that allows for smooth blood flow. When the endothelium is damaged, the blood vessels become sticky and leads to the formation of plaque, atherosclerosis. Over time, the rupture of plaque causes heart attacks.

7. Olive oil is NOT heart healthy as some would have you believe.

8. While the Mediterranean diet uses oil, is also has a rich variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds. It is a much more heart-healthy diet compared to the Standard American Diet (SAD) that most in the US and now world-wide are consuming.

9. Eliminating oils will eliminate inflammation of the joints leding to arthritis, and other chronic pains. When heating up oils, like meats (animal protein), the releasing of oxidative chemicals promotes inflammation, causes gene damage leading cancer, and promotes inflammation.

10. Because oils coat our taste buds, within a few weeks of eliminating oils, people begin to enjoy the food more because they taste the rich flavors, the herbs and spices they hadn’t before.

11. Cooking without oil to make a stir fry or saute’ dishes:

……a. Start with heating your pan
……b. Add the vegetables, onions first
……c. Stir so they don’t stick to the pan until they turn slightly brow, carmalized
……d. Add your peppers (yellow, red, green)
……e. Add your spices
……f. Add already cooked kidney beans
……g. Serve hot over rice or on plant-based bread

Remember, cooking with NO OIL is not only a new habit you can form on your journey to a whole food, plant-based diet and lifestyle, it will have a huge positive impact on your weight loss, lessening inflammation and reversing chronic disease.

You’ll feel lighter, have more energy and maybe even drop a few pounds and few pills!

This week, we want you to get to know more about 

T. Colin Campbell, PhD

Bio-Chemist, Researcher, Speaker, Teacher and Author of the world-renowned book: The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-Term Health

T. Colin Campbell, PhD has been dedicated to the science of human health for more than 60 years. His primary focus is on the association between diet and disease, particularly cancer. Although largely known for the China Study–one of the most comprehensive studies of health and nutrition ever conducted, and recognized by The New York Times as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology”–Dr. Campbell’s profound impact also includes extensive involvement in education, public policy, and laboratory research.

In order to synthesize the findings of his long and rewarding career, and to give back to the public whose lives are threatened by rampant misinformation and special interests, Dr. Campbell co-wrote The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health, which has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. He is also the author of the The New York Times bestseller Whole, and The Low-Carb Fraud. Several documentary films feature Dr. Campbell and his research, including Forks Over Knives, Eating You Alive, Food Matters, and PlantPure Nation.

Dr. Campbell continues to share evidence-based information on health and nutrition whenever given the opportunity. He has delivered hundreds of lectures around the world and he is the founder of the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and the online Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate in partnership with eCornell.

Tips from the Kitchen

**Oil-Free Dressings & Dips 

Salads and wraps are easy to make and a great way to incorporate a variety of vegetables into your diet. However, they can easily be sabotaged with added oil. Oil-free dressings and dips can provide just as much flavor without including refined sources of fat and dense calories.

**Why Oil-Free?
Dr. Robert Vogel at the University of Maryland reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology that olive oil was found to reduce blood flow in arteries by 31% after consumption. This is significant in relation to blood clots and heart attacks, as well as angina. It is suggested that people be aware of any relationship between consuming olive oil and an angina attack.
