Dr. Greg Feinsinger on Vegetables and The China Study

Just 1 Thing (at a time) 4 Health

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

WEEK 4 – VEGETABLES AND THE CHINA STUDY

Featured Doctor:  Greg Feinsinger MD

Dr. Greg Feinsinger practiced family medicine in Glenwood Springs, Colorado for over 40 years. He was introduced to the plant-based lifestyle for personal and for patient reasons about a decade ago. Now and throughout his retirement, Dr. Feinsinger’s interests are around the prevention of diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes. He still counsels individuals about the health benefits of a plant-based, low fat diet and encourages them to consider this as an important part of their prevention and treatment plan, along with exercise.

Did you know that prevention of heart attacks, high cholesterol, high blood
pressure, atherosclerosis, inflammatory diseases, dementia, breast, colon
and prostate cancer are preventable, and reversable?

Dr. Feinsinger’s Challenge to You: 

“Eat More Plant-Based Foods”

Plant-based foods have a high nutrient per calorie ratio; micro nutrients that prevent and reverse obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, many inflammatory and auto-immune diseases, and prevent many kinds of cancer. Dr. Feinsinger also shares that Dr. Fuhrman has the following mnemonic for what you should eat every day: G-BOMBS, which stands for Grains, Berries, Onions (especially red ones), Mushrooms, Beans, and Seeds.

Here are some easy to follow steps to help you meet This Week’s Challenge:
[1]  Exclude all or as much as possible of these foods; all of which are calorie-dense; have few micronutrients; lack fiber; and have been shown to contribute to obesity, heart attacks and strokes, pre-diabetes and diabetes, hypertension, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, dementia including Alzheimer’s, and many types of cancer:
….1. Meat, including chicken.
….2. Dairy (including cheese and yogurt) and eggs.
….3. Seafood including all fish (mainly due to heavy metals and PCBs and other industrial pollutants).
….4. Oils of any kind including coconut and olive. Stir fry with water or veggie broth, for baking substitute apple sauce or ground flaxseed.
….5. Any food that has been processed (e.g. white bread, white rice, pasta unless it is made from something other than white flour).
….6. Sugar (check food label and see what the serving size is, then see how much sugar a  serving contains and remember that 4 grams of sugar = 1 tsp.)
….7. Salt (unless you have chronic kidney disease, use potassium chloride such as No-Salt Salt instead of sodium chloride).

[2]  Try Dr. Greger’s daily dozen: beans, berries, other fruits, cruciferous vegetables, greens, other vegetables, flaxseeds, nuts, spices, whole grains, beverages, exercise.

[3] Use this formula for body movement: Get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily, hard enough so you can talk but not sing. If 40 or older you also need to spend 20 min. twice a week doing strength training. If you have a desk job, get up and move every 30 minutes or use a standup desk.

The 7 Original Heroes of the Movement

Featured Hero:   Dr. T. Colin Campbell

Dr. T. Colin Campbell is an American biochemist who specializes in the effect of nutrition on long-term health. He is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University.

Dr. Campbell has become known for his advocacy of a low-fat, whole foods, plant-based diet. He is the author of over 300 research papers and three books, The China Study (2005, co-authored with his son, Thomas M. Campbell II, which became one of America’s best-selling books about nutrition), Whole (2013) and The Low-Carb Fraud(2014). Dr. Campbell was featured in the 2011 American documentary Forks Over Knives.

One of the lead scientists of the China–Cornell–Oxford Project on diet and disease, set up in 1983 by Cornell University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, Dr. Campbell explored the relationship between nutrition and cancer, heart, and metabolic diseases. The study was described by The New York Times as “the Grand Prix of epidemiology”.
