  1. The Role of Nutrition in Human Health, Disease, and Aging – A Practical Approach Christopher B. Heward, Ph.D. President – Kronos Science Laboratories, Inc. IABG 10th Congress - September 2003

  2. Sound Nutritional Advice Physician: “We think you ate something that triggered some primitive genes?” Patient: “But Doc, what do I do?” Physician:“Stop eating so much sh__ …garbage!”

  3. The Current Scientific Consensus About Nutrition

  4. USDA Dietary Guidelines THE USDA FOOD PYRAMID Promotes a grain-based low fat / high carbohydrate diet.

  5. Dietary Fat Intake and Obesity (US 1955-1990) 42 % Dietary Calories as Fat % Dietary Calories as Fat 40 38 % of Calories from Fat 36 34 32 1955 1962 1969 1976 1983 1990 Year from Amer Dietetic Assoc 95 417-420(1995)

  32. The Metabolic Imperative Weight Stability Energy Intake Energy Expended =

  33. The Metabolic Imperative Weight Gain Energy Expended > Energy Intake

  34. The Metabolic Imperative Weight Loss Energy Intake < Energy Expended

  35. Does That Mean You Should Go On A Diet? NO!

  36. Rx For Healthy Nutrition and Weight Control • Diet • Carbohydrates - 35% (Fruits & Vegetables) • Proteins - 30% of Calories (Fish, Poultry, Eggs) • Fats - 35% of Calories (Fish, Meat, Nuts, Oils) • 1/3 - Saturated • 1/3 - Monounsaturated • 1/3 - Polyunsaturated • Colorful Fruits and Vegetables • Supplements • Vitamins & Minerals (RDA) • Omega-3 FA’s (fish oil)

  37. Vitamin E and Heart Disease Relative Risk (Age Adjusted) In the 88,000 Nurses Study, Dietary Vitamin E greater than 200 IU per day was associated with a 41% Decreased Risk for Major Coronary Heart Diseases.

  38. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (fish oil) Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA, 20:5w3) Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA, 22:6w3) Health Benefits: • Reduces Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death • Anti-inflammatory Properties • Improves Membrane Fluidity • Increases HDL (good) Cholesterol • Reduces Blood Pressure • Reduces Risk of Blood Clots • Lowers LP(a)

  39. X X • Water • Amino Acids • Fatty Acids X • Vitamins • Minerals X • Phytochemicals Focus On Essentials - Eat Mostly Nutrient-Dense Foods Avoid “Trans” Fats! X X X Consume ONLY those foods with a nutritional payoff - NO EMPTY CALORIES!

  40. USDA Revising The Food Pyramid?

  41. What About Caloric Restriction and Aging?

  47. The Payoff From A Successful Caloric Restriction Diet ~33% Retardation of Aging Rate • Constant Hunger • Abnormal Focus On Food (24hrs./day) • Loss of Libido (reproductive function) • Increased Life Expectancy Payoff: • If, starting at age 50, you do CR successfully for 30 years, then when you are 80 years old, you will function as though you were only 70. This is just NOT enough for most people!
