Incorporating the Mediterranean Diet into Your Lifestyle 5 - PRNewswire

When you think about heart disease, you may imagine an overweight, older male experiencing heart palpitations and chest pain. Thats definitely valid, but also be aware that heart disease is not one-size-fits-all it has a wide variety of symptoms and affects individuals of all ages. It is currently the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Even though heart disease is pretty common, it can be preventable 80% of the time, according to the American Heart Association. Now, youre probably wondering, if heart disease is preventable, why are rates still so high? This is attributed to the Standard American Diet (SAD) which consists of processed foods high in sugar and fat and the sedentary lifestyle adopted by most individuals in our country. It goes way back to the beginning of the 20th century, where heart disease was an uncommon cause of death in the United States. By mid-century, it had become the most common cause. Some historians attribute it to the lack of physical activity as the majority of Americans started using automobiles as a mode of transportation. Others attribute it to harmful changes in Americans diet, where people consumed more processed foods, saturated fats, and added sugars, according to this study. Unfortunately, many are still engaging in this lifestyle today despite knowing a healthy diet and regular exercise has the power to reverse heart disease.

Dr. Heather Shenkman, MD, FAAC, a vegan cardiologist and athlete, is on a mission to help individuals regain their health and maintain a healthy heart focusing on healthy lifestyle changes. In her practice, she takes a whole-person approach treating food as medicine by promoting

plant-based food choices in addition to regular exercise habits. In an exclusive interview with The Beet, Dr. Shenkman walks us through her journey to becoming vegan, the benefits of a plant-based diet for cardiovascular health, and her personal favorite vegan meals. She leads by example when it comes to lifestyle and has blossomed into an endurance athlete fueled entirely by a vegan diet. Her advice will motivate you to add more plants and movement to your life, which will nourish your body and leave you feeling full of life.

Dr. Heather Shenkman: I became a vegetarian while in high school, because of my love for animals. I was a vegetarian throughout college and medical school, but I became a vegan during my cardiology fellowship. I had originally become a vegetarian because of animal cruelty. However, as I learned more about the plight of farm animals, I felt like it was the right thing to do to also cut out dairy and eggs. I became fully vegan during my cardiology fellowship. During my research at that time, I had read about the work that Drs. Esselstyn and Ornish had done to successfully reverse heart disease with a plant-based diet. So since then, about 16 years ago, Ive been a vegan.

HS: I've always been active physically in one way or another. In 2005, the same year I adopted a vegan diet, I was recovering from a foot injury, and could not do the running that I used to do to stay fit. As a result, I took up swimming and road cycling. Once my foot healed and I started running again, I asked my spin instructor, who was an avid triathlete, to coach me for my first triathlon, the Finger Lakes sprint triathlon, in September 2005. I had so much fun training, meeting other triathletes, and racing, that I was hooked!

HS: My interest in cardiology initially stemmed from an interest in being able to make an impact in my patients' lives, and honestly didn't have anything to do with a plant-based diet. I didn't go plant-based/vegan until the second year of the cardiology fellowship. I used every chance I could to encourage my patients to make better diet and lifestyle choices. But, back then in 2005, there wasn't much understanding of plant-based diets, this was before Forks Over Knives and before most people had any understanding of the word "vegan". As time has gone on, it's become easier to encourage patients to adopt more plant-based styles of eating.

HS: I encourage my patients to eat more fruits and vegetables. That's always a good starting point.We talk about minimizing processed food, restaurant food, fried foods, soda, and sweets. We agree that years of animal products, fast food, junk food, lack of exercise, and smoking have all contributed to their current state of health. We also agree that in order to do better, some of those habits need to change. To help guide them in the right direction, I advise them to watch the Forks Over Knives documentary and frame a whole-food, plant-based diet as the healthiest choice. Since no other diet has been shown to reverse heart disease, I tell them that the closest they can come to this diet as possible is best for their heart.

HS: I wanted my patients to know the basics of heart disease and that they can make an impact on their own health. I talk about how to incorporate better eating habits and incorporate more exercise, and how to find joy in it all. Now, I recognize that not every patient who walks into my office is going to walk out a vegan. In fact, most wont. My goal as a cardiologist is to provide my patients with the best information on how to improve their heart health and reduce their risk of cardiovascular events.

HS: I give them literature, in particular, the Physicians Committee's "Vegetarian Starter Kit". It reinforces a lot of why a plant-based diet is a healthy choice and provides meal ideas. I try to frame diet change as an adventure, not deprivation, a chance to try new foods, and something that will help them to feel better and improve their health.

HS: For breakfast, I love oatmeal or a homemade smoothie. Many mornings, I will make a smoothie bowl for myself and my 17-month-old daughter Ava; I add a banana, an orange, frozen strawberries, a couple of chunks of carrot, and maybe a tiny amount of broccoli, unsweetened soy milk, oats, dried coconut, flax and chia seeds to my Vitamix. I also love cooking up a shepherd's pie with lentils and veggies and mashed potatoes on top.

HS: So many of my patients tell me that they are not used to eating vegetables.But also, much of my motivation to advocate for healthy meals in schools is that I now have a young daughter and want her to be healthy. We know that our preferences for foods start early in life. If we can introduce children to healthy foods when young, this will shape their taste buds for years to come.

HS: I'm proudest of earning a medal at the Maccabiah Games in Israel in 2013. I competed in the "Maccabi Man and Woman" Competition, which was a four-event competition occurring within a week, including a time-trial bike race, a half marathon, an Olympic distance triathlon, and a 5-kilometer swim. It was challenging not only to compete in these events but to do so in such a short amount of time, in very hot weather.

Eat less saturated and trans fat.

These are the bad fats in foods that increase LDL (bad) cholesterol. Trans fats also lower HDL (healthy) cholesterol.

Your goal is to eat no more than 10-15 grams of saturated fats a day. Eat less cheese. Choose lean meats. Stay away from foods that have hydrogenated oil in them.

Include a small amount of good fats.

Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats such as omega-3 fatty acids are good fats. They lower triglycerides and help raise HDL cholesterol levels. They are found in salmon, trout, tuna, flaxseeds, nuts, peanut butter, canola oil and olive oil.

Eat less sodium.

This can help lower blood pressure and/or keep blood pressure from rising. It also reduces fluid retention. Eat less than 2300 mg of sodium per day. Research shows that less than 1,500 mg is better. Eat less canned or dry soups, processed foods and meals away from home.

Eat more fiber.

Fiber can help reduce LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugars. Foods high in fiber include whole fruits, vegetables, and beans. Breads, pasta, crackers and cereals made from whole grains are also high in fiber. Your goal is 20-35 grams per day.

Eat less sugar and processed carbohydrates.

This can help decrease triglycerides, keep HDL cholesterol levels high and help with weight loss. Limit regular soft drinks, juices, cookies, candy, low-fiber crackers and snack foods. Choose fresh fruits, sugar-free drinks, nuts, and high-fiber crackers and cereals.

Eat fewer calories.

The best way to lose weight is to eat smaller portions and less sugar and fats. Weight loss can help lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while it raises HDL cholesterol.

Eat five or more fruits and vegetables every day.

These foods are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals and low in fat, sodium and calories.

Heart disease symptoms can be different in men and women, and women face a higher risk of certain types of heart disease. Talk to your doctor about your personal risk factors and how often you should check your heart health.

Crow Wing Energized: Eating heart healthy could help you live longer - Brainerd Dispatch

Because COVID-19 is still so new, doctors and medical professionals still dont know a lot about it. Sometimes, they see healthy people contract the disease and suffer from adverse side effects, while other times people with multiple conditions that would put them at higher risk have no complications from the virus.

But there are simple things that almost anyone can do to maintain a healthy lifestyle and boost their immune system even during a pandemic.

Dr. Mahnaz Behdad has been practicing medicine at Hansen Family Hospital since last summer. Shes researched what it takes to get and stay healthy, and she said a balance of healthy eating, exercise and some supplements - only for a limited time - can boost the immune system.

Definitely, a healthy diet will help. But what is going on and why some people get it and get it really bad and some it doesnt, we dont know. We know that a healthy diet is good for you, so why not? We do that and hopefully it is going to prevent, but there is no guarantee, said Dr. Mahnaz Behdad, a physician at Hansen Family Hospital. At the end of the day, I think if they do a healthy diet and they try to do the social distance and all the things until we have a vaccine, I think that will help the people.

A healthy lifestyle includes exercising regularly, eating right and once in a while taking supplements if needed. It also means regularly washing your hands and, these days, social distancing and wearing a mask when in public.

The most benefit comes from combining a healthy diet with exercise. One without the other isnt helpful.

Behdad suggests that everyone do moderate-intensity exercise five times a week for 30 minutes a day. That half hour of exercise can be broken up into 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there, as long as it equals 30 minutes.

As far as diet everyone is different. In order to maintain a healthy lifestyle everyone should eat vegetables, good oils and ingest fewer carbs and less meat. Leafy green vegetables offer fiber and are important for a balanced meal. Fruits are also good because they contain antioxidants, specifically berries such as blueberries, strawberries and blackberries. While some fruits are high in sugar, the level in berries is lower than other fruits.

The biggest thing that Behdad discourages is premade meals.

I highly discourage anybody to use any kind of processed foods. No ready meal, she said. If you dont have time, prepare simple meals ahead for tomorrow. Its healthier than anything on the shelf. Everything on the shelf has sugar and the average of the sugar we get in our diet without even knowing it is way higher than you expect.

I think you can get your nutrition from anything and everything, Behdad added. I dont think that you have to have meat. I prefer less meat. For people that do not have any specific diet, if you have less meat and you decrease the meat in your diet then I think you will benefit from that.

In a perfect world, everything we eat would be fresh and organic and there would be no need for supplements. However, this isnt a perfect world. Behdad said she sees patients who are obese but also suffer from malnutrition because the things theyre eating have no nutritional value. There are times that she suggests supplements for a short period of time.

Nowadays that COVID is around, some studies show that Vitamin C and Vitamin D will help prevent and decrease the rate of side effects and adverse effects of the COVID if the patients get that, said Behdad. Whenever I get those people, I will let them know to take Vitamin D and Vitamin C at least for the next two months in your life and then after that, forget about it.

Vaccinations for COVID-19 began in Hardin County last month (Hardin County Public Health Clinical Manager Jill Mundt is pictured above receiving hers on Dec. 23). To build your bodys defense against COVID-19 - and other illnesses - a local doctor recommends exercise, a healthy diet, supplements and vaccines.

Behdad is also pro-vaccination. She encourages everyone to get vaccinated for COVID-19 as well as every other kind of vaccination. The rollout of the Moderna vaccine in Hardin County began at the end of December and is currently open to just healthcare workers, long-term care residents and staff.

I think the benefit of that is way more than if there is a side effect or if there is anything else. I think we shouldnt just pay attention to conspiracy theories, especially in this part and we should learn more and we should learn our history, she said.

She also suggests that even if someone is vaccinated, they should still wear a mask until 90 percent of the population has received the vaccine. And as with anything, there are no guarantees. The vaccination is only 95 percent effective. Nothing in medicine is 100 percent.

Science and medicine are constantly changing. Behdad said her suggestions are her personal opinion and everything could change tomorrow. However, in the long run having basic healthy habits will help everyone.

We dont need to try and add so many things to our routine and becoming miserable at the end of the day and forget about everything. I think if we just get used to these simple things, it will help us for the most part and we might get the disease, but the chances are less, said Behdad. Even when you use the mask, you might get the disease, but again, it depends on how much virus goes through your body. I think at the end of the day, these simple things will help us whether we know it or not.

With a new year starts the approach to a healthier diet that also promotes gut health.

But the way to a healthy lifestyle is often much easier than investing in pricey supplements or revamping your whole diet. It just needs a simple focus on probiotics.

Probiotics play an essential role in our diet to prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria, which can cause gastroenterological disturbances such as diarrhea, constipation or inflammatory bowel disease.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria and yeasts for your digestive system, said Rebecca Rubio, clinical dietitian at AdventHealth in Killeen. Research is still being conducted in this area, but the typical consensus is that probiotics help balance the good and bad bacteria to keep your digestive and immune health optimal.

While most people see bacteria negatively, probiotics are good bacteria that help keep your body healthy.

To increase your bodys intake of good bacteria, you can choose between various fermented foods, drinks and dietary supplements.

Fermented foods, however, are the most natural source of probiotics.

Fermentation is a process in which microorganisms like yeast and bacteria break down food components into other products, Rubio said. Many fermented foods contain probiotics that are produced in the fermentation process.

The fermentation process is one of the oldest techniques for food preservation, which promotes beneficial enzymes, B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and various species of good bacteria.

Examples of fermented foods include yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, tempeh, and sourdough bread. Other examples of fermented foods are pickles and selected cheeses. These foods are home to a host of good bacteria that benefit your body.

While many fermented foods have a distinguished taste, yogurt is a relatively neutral and very versatile component. It can be used as a basis in many dishes such as sauces, salad dressings or marinades. It can also substitute mayonnaise or sour cream in dishes like egg or potato salads.

Fermented drinks such as kombucha or kefir also introduce extra probiotics into your diet and benefit your microbiomes health.

However, not all fermented foods and drinks contain probiotics. Some drinks, such as beer and wine, undergo steps that remove the probiotics or make them inactive.

Food labels containing slogans such as live and active cultures let you know if foods and drinks contain probiotics.

Probiotic supplements are typically sold over the counter and often reserved to treat specific ailments suggested by doctors. They are not always recommended for everyday use.

The question remains, how many probiotics are necessary for a healthy diet.

Since there is no recommended daily intake for probiotics, there is no way to exactly know which fermented foods or what quantity is best.

The general guideline is to just add as many fermented foods to your daily diet as possible.
