Shades of Gray symposium: Eating right means dietary sacrifice

Shades of Gray symposium: Eating right means dietary sacrifice


The debate continues -- we have advocates from the "Raw Food" movement to the Paleolithic ("Paleo") diet or "Cavemen Diet" movement claiming that their way is the right way.


There are studies claiming that we do not need vitamin and mineral supplements; and other studies stating that our fruits and vegetables cannot provide all the vitamin and mineral nutrients that we need so we need to take supplements.


Some studies indicate that fruits and vegetables from certain regions are grown in soils that are so depleted of minerals and other nutrients that they cannot possibly provide the vitamins and minerals that we need.


We also have the "everything in moderation" advocates. However, when a person's arteries are severely clogged and their cholesterol level is very high -- "everything in moderation" may longer be an option for them.


There is so much hype and spurious claims that it is hard to determine who is right and who is wrong. This is why it is important to do one's one research and come to your own conclusions and not rely on any one source, especially, where your own health is concerned.


On this blog, I will provide access to different sources of information to enable you to make an informed decision about your own health.

Learn more about the stages of your condition, including the diagnosis, treatments and medication available. Plus, how well do you understand cholesterol? Take our quiz to find out...


Cholesterol often gets a bad rap, but did you know it’s essential for many bodily functions?


It repairs cell membranes, produces vitamin D on the skin, makes hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and helps with cells related to memory and learning, says Tracy Stevens, M.D., a cardiologist and spokeswoman for the American Heart Association (AHA).


But too much cholesterol can have deadly consequences, especially if you have diabetes type II. This waxy substance in the blood contributes to 20% of all strokes, 50% of all heart attacks and affects 36 million U.S. adults, according to the AHA.


You could have high cholesterol levels for years and never know it until something goes wrong, says Lisa Reis, M.D., a cardiologist and assistant professor at Saint Louis University Hospital in Missouri.


Fortunately, high cholesterol is easy to tame, says Binoy Singh, M.D., an internist and cardiologist with Columbia Doctors of Somers, N.Y.

Just need to add this -- I purchase turmeric and other spices from an Indian food store. You can purchase spices from your local grocery store ethnic food stores. Just be sure that the spices have not been on the shelf for a long time as they do lost their potency after a while. Also, be sure that you are purchasing a reputable brand or that the source is reputable to minimize the risk of purchasing a product that may have been contaminated or diluted with other substances.
