Top vegan sources of protein

Top vegan sources of protein Sun, June 24, 2012 by: Don Porter With a growing awareness of the SERIOUS health dangers of profit driven meat, farm raised fish, pigs, chickens, turkeys, etc., more people are health conscious. More vegans and vegetarians have a story about how they came to the decision to live their healthy lifestyles. Bottom line is your health matters and, one of the challenges for non-meat eaters is making sure they get enough protein every day. This is not a major challenge as many think. Like most of the nutrients from quality food, a little goes a long way. Back in the hunter/gatherer days, primitive man ate a lot less meat - usually around 20% of his total diet - a far cry from how much the average American consumes daily in the 21st century with health repercussions. Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in how our bodies function. Recently too much protein is associated with several diseases. It is more important to eat a varied diet than to isolate and focus on any one nutrient. As long as calorie intake is adequate, it can be easy for vegan diets to meet protein recommendations RDA recommendations for protein are from .36 - .45 grams of protein per pound of body weight, or about 15-20% of calories. That's roughly 48-60 grams/day. Even Bill Clinton is a Vegan so it's a great time to be a vegan. As the numbers of vegans grows, the demand for vegan products increases. There are lots of nutrient dense foods with a decent protein content. Even meat eaters ought to vary their protein sources, and try some of these: Read the labels to determine how much protein you will find in foods. Vegetables - the proper foundation for all diets. • 1 avocado - 10 grams • 1 cup broccoli - 5 grams • 1 cup spinach - 5 grams • 2 cups cooked kale - 5 grams • 1 cup boiled peas - 9 grams • 1 cup cooked sweet potato - 5 grams Legumes, also vegetables, get their own mention. Specifically lentils and beans, the foundation of many diets for centuries. • 1 cup soybeans - 28 grams 1 cup firm tofu - 38 grams, 1 cup tempeh - 30 grams) • 1 cup lentils - 18 grams • 1 cup refried beans - 15.5 grams • 1 cup garbanzo beans (and hummus) - 14.5 grams • 1 cup pinto, kidney, black beans - 13-15 grams • 1 oz peanuts - 6.5 grams 1 CUP OF MOST COOKED BEANS AND LENTILS contains right around 15 grams of vegan protein. 1 CUP OF SEITAN contains approximately 52 grams of vegan protein. ManyI consider this a "fun food" and don't recommend you base your everyday vegan diet on this protein source. Nuts and seeds - a staple in most vegetarian and vegan diets. • 1 oz. cashews - 4.4 grams • 1 oz. sesame seeds 6.5 grams, 3 tablespoons of tahini - 8 grams • 1/4 cup (2 oz.) walnuts - 5 grams • 1 oz. pistachios - 5.8 grams • 2 tbsp almonds - 4 grams • Nut butters - almond butter, cashew butter - 2 tablespoons has about 8 grams of protein Nuts, seeds and nut butters are also tasty foods with protein that you should include in your diet. 1/4 CUP of MOST NUTS can range anywhere from about 4 grams of vegan protein to 8 or 9 grams. 2-3 TABLESPOONS OF SEEDS provide around 8 grams of vegan protein, with the exception of FLAX SEEDS which will provide you with around 4 grams. Non-dairy milk - Soy, almond, ancient grain. 1 cup gets you 7-9 grams of protein. Grains - Ancient grains, sprouted grains, multi-grains - a major part of the diet. • Quinoa is versatile and delicious. 1 cup - 9 grams. • Amaranth, bulgur, brown rice, wheat germ, oat bran are grains with high protein content. • Oatmeal - 1 cup = 6 grams. • Sprouted grain bread products - buns, tortillas, bread. Make a sandwich or a wrap and you'll get 7-10 grams from the quality grain bread alone. Convenience foods: There are vegan protein powders and bars to fill in the gaps on the go. Hemp - 30 grams of hemp powder in your smoothie gives you 11 grams of protein. Supplements - spirulina and sun chlorella are used often by vegetarians and vegans for their rich nutrient content, and protein content. Seek the many cookbooks and websites with meal plans and inventive recipes, including many on how to make traditional dishes substituted with vegan ingredients. There have been articles regarding if vegan diets should include more iron or iodine. Requirements can be met without animal sources, but it is good to be aware of it. Whether its a long term lifestyle or a diet for cleansing, eating vegan can be enjoyable and rewarding. As with any diet, it is possible to be an unhealthy vegan. The best diets, vegan and otherwise, center around raw, fresh, Organic vegetables. Many vegan's stories are initiated with disease. They tried vegan to get better, and liked it so much it stuck. So if you weigh 105 pounds, that means you weigh 47.6 kilograms Sources for this article include: http://www.vegancoach.com/foods-with-protein.html http://vegetarian.about.com/od/healthnutrition/tp/protein.htm http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htm http://www.naturalnews.com/036270_vegan_protein_legumes.html http://www.naturalnews.com/036270_vegan_protein_legumes.html

Triage Your Health Efforts: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Triage Your Health Efforts: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly by Jeff Novick, MS, RD on Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 11:46am • Everyday in the news, there is another breaking story telling us how bad something is for us. From problems with the food we eat, the air we breath, the water we drink, to problems with the methods of how we cook, to the chemicals in plastics, cans, cookware, toiletries and to the impact of cellphones, microwaves, etc etc. By the time we are done listening to all the the news, it seems like there is nothing safe anymore. So, how do we handle all this overwhelming information? What actions should we take, if any? How do we determine what, if anything, matters most? The answer, lies in a simple process called "Triage." Triage: The determination of priorities for action in an emergency; A process in which things are ranked in terms of importance or priority Now for the good, the bad and the ugly. The Good: EPIC is a large study of diet and health having recruited over half a million (520,000) people in ten European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.EPIC was designed to investigate the relationships between diet, nutritional status, lifestyle and environmental factors and the incidence of cancer and other chronic diseases. Many studies have come out of this database but 2 important ones are.. 1) They followed 25,663 Adults, Aged 45-79 Years Since 1993-2006 They found - Eating 5 servings of fruit & veggies a Day Gives You the Life Expectancy of Someone 3 Years Younger. - Not smoking turned the clock back by 4-5 years. - Increasing exercise by a moderate amount takes up to three years off. Following these three simple changes was the equivalent of adding 10 more healthy years to your life expectancy Khaw KT, Bingham S, Welch A, Luben R, Wareham N, et al. (2001) Relation between plasma ascorbic acid & mortality in men and women in EPIC-Norfolk prospective study: a prospective population study. European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. Lancet 357: 657–663. Find this article online Khaw KT, Jakes R, Bingham S, Welch A, Luben R, et al. (2006) Work and leisure time physical activity assessed using a simple, pragmatic, validated questionnaire and incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in men and women: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfolk prospective population study. Int J Epidemiol 35: 1034–1043 2) In a separate study that came out about a year later, they added in alcohol intake and found if someone followed the three behaviors above and limited alcohol intake, it was the equivalent of adding up to 14 more healthy years to your life expectancy. Khaw KT, Wareham N, Bingham S, Welch A, Luben R, et al. (2008) Combined Impact of Health Behaviours and Mortality in Men and Women: The EPIC-Norfolk Prospective Population Study . PLoS Med 5(1): e12 doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0050012 In the WHO report, 'Preventing Chronic Diseases: A Vital Investment' 06/06/2005 They found that of the 35 million deaths from chronic disease each year, three most important modifiable risk factors are: - unhealthy diet and excessive energy intake; - physical inactivity; - tobacco use. And, that these 3 modifiable risk factors cause/lead to the intermediate risk factors of raised blood pressure, raised glucose levels, abnormal blood lipids (particularly low density lipoprotein-LDL cholesterol), and overweight (body mass index 25- 29.9 kg/m2) and obesity (body mass index > 30 kg/m2). They Estimated that of the 3 most important modifiable risk factors, -4.9 Mil Die As a Result of Tobacco Use, -2.7 Mil Die As a Result of Low Fruit/Vegetable Intake, -1.9 Mil Die As a Result of Physical Inactivity Added together, these 3 simple lifestyle behaviors themselves account for over 40% of the lifestyle related premature deaths. In addition, they estimated that -2.6 million people die as a result of Excess Weight -7.1 million people die as a result of raised blood pressure; -4.4 million people die as a result of raised total cholesterol levels These add up to almost 24 million deaths per year, which is 65% of the 35 million people who die prematurely from chronic diseases that can easily be prevented by a few simple lifestyle behaviors. And, as the WHO says that the first 3 cause the second 3, then we can then also say that the first 3 simple lifestyle behaviors themselves could prevent over 65% of the premature death from chronic disease. They also said, "the major causes of chronic diseases are known, and if these risk factors were eliminated, at least 80% of all heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes would be prevented; over 40% of cancer would be prevented." While these are worldwide figures, lets apply this to just the USA.. In The USA right now • 652,000 die from heart disease • 559000 die from cancers • 143000 die from stoke • 75000 die from diabetes • That equals 1,429,000 If we can prevent 80% of heart disease, stroke and diabetes and 40% of the cancer, we can prevent about 928,000 of the 1,429,000. That's over 65%. (NOTE: The WHO believes their figures are underestimates of the impact and the real impact would be much higher than just 65% And, these are minimums. What if we looked at 9-12 servings of fruits & veggies, a BMI of 18.5-22, exercising 30-60 minutes 5-6 days per week, and being smoke free. Also, in 2011, the WHO raised the number of deaths from chronic disease from 35 million deaths to 51 million deaths per year.) That is the good news. Now, The bad news.. In their report the WHO identified 10 misunderstandings that were obstacles to changing these modifiable risk factors. A few were relevant 1) Chronic diseases are often viewed as primarily affecting old people.One quarter of all chronic disease deaths occur in people under 60 years of age. 2) The solutions for chronic disease prevention and control are too expensive to be feasible for low and middle income countries (populations). In reality, a full range of chronic disease interventions are very cost- effective for all regions of the world. Many of these solutions are also inexpensive to implement. 3) Half Truths and kernels of truth. In these cases, the kernels of truth are distorted to become sweeping statements that are not true. Because they are based on the truth, such half-truths are among the most ubiquitous and persistent misunderstandings. Two principal half-truths are refuted below. “ My grandfather smoked and was overweight and he lived to 96”. Answer: In any population, there will be a certain number of people who do not demonstrate the typical patterns seen in the vast majority. For chronic diseases, there are two major types: 1) people with many chronic disease risk factors, who nonetheless live a healthy and long life; 2) people with no or few chronic disease risk factors, who nonetheless develop chronic disease and/or die from complications at a young age. These people undeniably exist, but they are rare. The vast majority of chronic disease can be traced back to the common risk factors, and can be prevented by eliminating these risks. 4) ”Everyone has to die of something" Answer: Certainly everyone has to die of something, but death does not need to be slow, painful, or premature. Most chronic diseases do not result in sudden death. Rather, they are likely to cause people to become progressively ill and debilitated, especially if their illness is not managed correctly. Death is inevitable, but a life of protracted ill-health is not. Chronic disease prevention and control helps people to live longer and healthier lives. And more of the "bad" In 2005, a study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, looked at how many Americans actually engage in these healthy lifestyle factors that are known to prevent most of the chronic diseases we die from. Healthy Lifestyle Characteristics Among Adults in the United States, 2000. ARCH INTERN MED/VOL 165, APR 25, 2005 The surveyed over 153,000 Adults, age range from 18 to 74, through the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, of the CDC. The four Healthy Lifestyle Characteristics (HLC) were 1) Healthy Weight defined as a BMI 18.5- 25 2) consumed the minimum of 5 Fruits & Vegetables Per Day 3) Engaged in Regular Physical Activity, defined as 30 Minutes, 5x/week 4) Did Not Smoke For each individual HLC, the numbers were, Not smoking was about 76%, healthy weight was about 40%, engaging in adequate exercise was 23% as was consuming the minimum fruits and veggies (22%). However, when you put all 4 together, only 3% (2.8%) of Adults Followed All 4 HLC's. The highest subgroup (well educated, upper income) was 5% This study confirms the above. They monitored 42 847 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, 40 to 75 years of age and free of disease in 1986 for the following 5 healthy characteristics. - Not currently smoking - Diet score top 40% - Exercise ≥30 min/d - BMI - Moderate alcohol (5–30 g/d) or less Only 32% practiced any two of the above Only 28% practiced any three of the above Only 14% practiced any four of the above and Only 4% practiced all 5 Healthy Lifestyle Characteristics Circulation. 2006 Jul 11;114(2):160-7. Epub 2006 Jul 3.Healthy lifestyle factors in the primary prevention of coronary heart disease among men: benefits among users and nonusers of lipid-lowering and antihypertensive medications. As does this study, which also confirms the above. They followed 84,129 women participating in the Nurses' Health Study, 30 to 55 years of age, from 1980-1994 for the following 5 healthy characteristics. - Not currently smoking - Diet score top 40% - Exercise ≥30 min/d - BMI - Moderate alcohol (< 5g/d) Only 12.7% practiced any three of the above Only 7.2% practiced any four of the above and Only 3.1% practiced all 5 Healthy Lifestyle Characteristics Socioeconomic status had no substantial effect on the estimates Stampfer MJ, Hu FB, Manson JE, Rimm EB, Willett WC. Primary prevention of coronary heart disease in women through diet and lifestyle. N Engl J Med. 2000; 343: 16–22 In 2010, the American Heart Association identified 7 criteria “to guide people toward ideal cardiovascular health." The called these, Life’s Simple Seven and here are the criteria. - 150 Minutes of Moderate Activity per week - BMI < 25 - Non Smoker > 1 yr - Healthy Diet (As defined by the AHA) - Cholesterol < 200 - BP < 120/ - Blood Sugar < 100 Later that year, a study looked at 17,820 Adults to see how many met this criteria. - Only 213 met the criteria for 6 of the 7 (~1%) - Only two (2) met the criteria for all seven. And, when we look specifically at diet, only .5% of those surveyed met the criteria for healthy diet. Think about that. Only 2 met the criteria for all seven and only .5% met the criteria for a healthy diet. (And, these criteria are the strictest to meet). That is the bad. Now for the Ugly In the article, Adherence to Healthy Lifestyle Habits in US Adults, 1988-2006.American Journal of Medicine Volume 122, Issue 6, June 2009, Page 528-34.) they looked at the difference in the percent of Americans who were adhering to the 5 Healthy Lifestyle Characteristics between 1988 and 2006. The data from the National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey was used for the analysis. - The % of Americans with a BMI > 30 (which is the classification for obese) Increased From 28% to 36% - The % of Americans who meet the minimum requirements for exercise decreased From 53% to 46% - The% of Americans who met the minimum criteria of a healthy diet decreased From 42% to 26% - The % of Americans who met the criteria for all 5 Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors dropped 47% So, as you can see, we are not getting better, we are getting worse. In addition, in a article published in the NEJM in 2005, Olshansky, Butler,, NEJM, March 17, 2005 The authors predicted that For The First Time in US History Average Adult Life Expectancy May Be Decreasing. And that Obesity May Shorten Average Life Spans More Than Accidents, Homicides and Suicides Combined Their famous quote from the study was "Unless effective population-level interventions to reduce obesity are developed, the steady rise in life expectancy observed in the modern era may soon come to an end and the youth of today may, on average, live less healthy and possibly even shorter lives than their parents." In January of 2008, a study came out confirming that this is already beginning to happen. Ezzati M, Friedman AB, Kulkarni SC, Murray CJL (2008) The reversal of fortunes: Trends in county mortality and cross-county mortality disparities in the United States. Plos Med 5(4): e66. Doi:10. 1371/journal.pmed.0050066 This study, looked at 3141 Counties in the USA and Grouped then together Into 2068 of what they called, County Units (CU). They did this to even out populations in the counties groups and ratios of male to females Between 1983 and 1999 Life Expectancies: Declined Significantly In 11 CU For Males, Declined Significantly In 180 CU For Females Average Decline was 1.3 Yrs Also, Life Expectancies Declined In 48 Counties For Males Declined In 783 Counties For Females Average Decline Was .5 (Women) and .4 (Men) This was most prevalent in the Deep South, Mississippi River, Appalachia, Midwest, Texas The main reasons were Smoking, Poor Diet, Weight, Blood Pressure, & Inactivity. We can prevent and/or stop about 70% of this by simply not smoking, being at a healthy weight, engaging in regular exercise and eating the minimum recommendations of a healthy diet. Yet only about 3-4% of Americans, at best, do this. Think about it. Especially in regard to triaging, or prioritizing, our efforts to improve our health and lifestyle behaviors. What matters most is what matters most. In Health Jeff Thanks Jeff Don Porter

What Happens When You Quit Smoking | Immediate and Long Term Benefits

What Happens When You Quit Smoking | Immediate and Long Term Benefits While many people may not know everything smoking can potentially lead to, it is well known that nothing positive on a health level can come out the activity. Advertisers and Hollywood have successfully hammered the idea of smoking into our brains over the last few decades through placement in movies and TV shows, but thankfully people now know the truth concerning the negative health effects and child influence. Of course not all smokers want to quit, but for those who do, you may be surprised to find out what happens when you quit smoking. What Happens When You Quit Smoking? If a cigarette is in your mouth right now, finish it. Once you finish it, don’t ever pick up another one. If you did this right now, your body would go through amazing changes starting just 20 minutes after you finish that cigarette. If you want to quit, but are having a difficult time mentally shifting, learning what happens when you quit smoking may very well provide you with that final push. Here are the benefits of quitting smoking and a timeline of what will happen once you quit smoking. • In about 20 minutes, your blood pressure and pulse rate will decrease, and the body temperature of your hands and feet will increase. • At approximately the 8-12 hour mark, the carbon monoxide level in your blood will decrease to normal and your blood oxygen level will increase to normal. • At 24 hours the chance of you having a heart attack decreases significantly. • At about 48 hours, nerve endings begin to regrow and your ability to smell and taste is enhanced. • Between 2 weeks and 3 months, your circulation improves, walking becomes easier, and coughing and wheezing is experienced less often. Phlegm production decreases and at about the 3 month mark, lung function is significantly improved. • Between 1 and 9 months, you will experience all of the benefits already listed in addition to less sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Cilia, tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of the lungs, also regain normal function. • In 1 year, your risk of coronary heart disease and heart attacks is reduced by half of what it used to be when you were a smoker. • Between 5 and 15 years, the risk of having a stroke returns to normal, before you started smoking. • At about the 10 year mark, your chance of developing various cancers including cancer of the lungs, mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas, greatly decreases. Risk of lung cancer reverts to that of a non-smoker. In fact, Diet and smoking habits make up nearly 60 percent of cancer cases. • In about 15 years, your risk of coronary heart disease and heart attack shifts to that of a person who has never smoked before. The risk of death also drops nearly to the level of a non-smoker. Even with the exclusion of the incredible amount of money you would save from quitting as well as the negative influence being omitting from society, the above benefits of quitting are more than convincing. So what happens when you quit smoking? Your health once again returns. Explore More: 1. Quit Smoking Naturally by Consuming More of These Foods 2. Teen Smoking Rates Skyrocket 3.

The "Money Driven" Collapse of Quality Natural Western Medicine

The "Money Driven" Collapse of Quality Natural Western Medicine April 8, 2012 S. D. Wells & D.J. Porter, etal It is truly SAD having witnessed the U.S. A. deteriorate from having the best scientists in the world who were discovering vitamins, minerals, vaccines and cures for disease, to the money driven American Medical System ("AMA") DISASTER times, where the only medicine available is dollar driven packaged Foods, toxic with horrific side effects, and where nutrient-void, chemical-laden FOOD is being sold at almost every restaurant and grocery store, and Fast Food places, all in the name of corporate profits that keep the public sick and in need of expensive health care? Where the FDA & most exploding Government is run by the HIGHEST bidders ! In the early 1900′s, America was chock full of small farms and families who ate fresh food from those farms. Cancer, diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer’s barely existed because the soil was rich in nutrients and minerals, and if you did get sick, a doctor would come to your home and give you some herbal tinctures or natural remedies, and that was that. Then, after World War II, many families left their rural farms and moved closer to factories and began eating processed food that was canned packaged and bagged (for max profits), lacking the nutrients they had just a decade earlier. Then, fast food operations like McDonalds, Wendy's and Burger King opened up franchises all over America, feeding the public saturated fat and sugar-loaded meals that were hot, cheap, convenient and chemically polluted and dangerous. The USA used to be the land of the free and now is the home of … toxic food and venomous medicine, with chronic care waiting for its next 80 million victims. Here are some basic statistics of a country riddled with disease: • Cancer: 1,500,000 diagnosed each year; over 50% will die of it. • Diabetes: 25,000,000 people are diabetics right now (including children); 80,000,000 are borderline. • Heart Disease and Strokes: 81,000,000 (every 3rd adult) has some type of cardiovascular disease. • Alzheimer’s Disease: 5,400,000 have Alzheimer’s right now (every 8th senior) • Birth defects: One in every 33 babies is born with one (accounts for 20% of all infant deaths). (http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthdefects/data.html) Most U.S. politicians have no ethics and no morals, & are for sale to the highest bidders Once upon a time, insider trading was a scary law that meant prison time for those who violated it. Now, politicians make money off wars they declare themselves, and health insurance cos. invest in fast food operations that slowly kill their own clients. Pharmaceutical cos. (Merck, Pfizer, Bayer, Bristol Meyers, etc.) are run by CEO’s who served as Governors, Senators, and heads of the FDA, and the Supreme Court itself seats Judges who worked for major pharmaceutical firms, and who will return to those jobs after writing new legislation to benefit their current investments. Make no mistake, the pesticides used on most U.S. farms give humans cancer, and the politicians who support genetically mutated foods know it. GMO means that the seedlings of fruits and vegetables are spliced with toxic pesticides in a lab, so even if you wash off your food, you are still eating dioxin, the same toxic chemical (Agent Orange) the U.S. dumped on Vietnam which gave our own soldiers cancer. (http://people.oregonstate.edu/~muirp/pesthist.htm). We also now have a massive "DEAD ZONE" in the Gulf Of Mexico along with Oil and gas fills to further damage our beaches and shorelines The agencies you trust so much (FDA/CDC/AMA/CDC/ACS/Major Insurance Cos) support toxic food and toxic medicine Politicians are supposed to represent the greater good of the people, but now politics is about bastardizing the system for as much money as possible before getting ousted from office about 4 years later. Food, medicine and vaccines have become toxic catapults for profiteering by Big Pharma and Government agencies (undercover corporations). Raids ib food stores and related by Gestapo like troops are becoming commonplace. Ever wonder how health insurance cos. drum up future business? They invest in corporations whose products cause chronic degenerative disease, driving people’s health care costs through the roof. The U.S. and Canadian health insurance giants own nearly $2 billion worth of stock in fast food giants like McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, and Taco Bell. So recently, the USA is ranked "47th" in worldwide longevity and recognized as the "sickest" country in the world, after spending more per capita for Healthcare than any place on Earth. While also created a STAGGERING Debt mess that is VERY volatile, mounting & DANGEROUS !

"How to Die" - TIME Mag. cover story

June 7, 2012 "How to Die" - TIME Mag. cover story Take a look at the cover of this week's Time Magazine. "How to Die" appears in large white letters on a red background. This is a sign that our society is having much needed discussion and dialogue about these issues. We should clean up the DISGUSTING Chemical laced food FIRST !! Extend life as follows: “When people learn to eat a plant based diet they can eliminate heart disease & most cancers, it could inaugurate a seismic revolution in our health. Other diseases that can be 80% resolved with a plant based diet include: obesity, hypertension, stroke, heart attacks, gall stones, diverticulitis, asthma, osteoporosis, allergies, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, & a marked decrease in the common western cancers of breast, prostate, colon, endometrial, ovarian, & pancreatic”. STOP Big Pharma/FDA partnership TEACH DIET in SCHOOLS again as American Medical (AMA) Society stopped it Promote Organic Farming and Farmers Markets

29-Year Old Adam Blaney Normalizes Blood Pressure, Eliminates Meds with Forks Over Knives

29-Year Old Adam Blaney Normalizes Blood Pressure, Eliminates Meds By Adam Blaney - Posted on May 30, 2012 I am a 29 year old minister, currently living in Lewisburg, WV. In 2009 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and acid reflux after experiencing chest pains which landed me in the emergency room for a night. My sodium was low, I exercised 4 times a week, and it was a mystery to my Dr. It was chalked up as a hereditary thing that I was just going to have to live with. So, I was a 27 year old on blood pressure medication. In 2011 (then topping 200 lbs), I began watching documentaries on our food system in the US. FORKS OVER KNIVES was the 1ST documentary that motivated me to do something. I bought Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Esselstyn the next day. At the time I weighed 196 lbs.,and my resting blood pressure on medication was 132-89. Six weeks later I have lost 30 lbs. and my blood pressure is 116-66 without medications. The acid reflux has disappeared and I feel great. FORKS OVER KNIVES has truly changed my life!
