  18. Walking is man’s best medicine --Hippocrates Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness. --Edward Stanley, the Earl of Derby, 1873 I have 2 doctors, my left leg and my right. --G.M. Trevelyan Walk and be happy, Walk and be healthy. --Charles Dickens

  19. Inflammation • Inflammation and…

  20. Inflammatory Markers • Most vascular events occur in people without  TC • 1/5 of all vascular events occur in individuals without any traditional risk factors •  Levels of inflammation and atherosclerosis seen in those as young as 15

  21. Anthocyanins and Omega-3’s • “Results indicate the potentially harmful effects of oxidized fats intake in the presence of endogenous catalysts found in foods, and the major benefit of including in the meal plant dietary antioxidants.” • =Polyphenols found in purple fruits and veggies Free Radic Biol Med. 2001 Dec 1;31(11):1388-95.

  22. Anthocyanins and Omega-3’s • “The addition of antioxidants such as red wine polyphenols to the meal may alter these outcomes. These findings explain the potentially harmful effects of oxidized fats in foods and the important benefit of consuming dietary polyphenols during the meal.” J Agric Food Chem. 2008 Jul 9;56(13):5002-7. doi: 10.1021/jf703700d. Epub 2008 Jun 10.

  23. Anthocyanins and Omega-3’s • “This study indicates that although increasing dietary levels of PUFA may favorably alter cholesterol profiles, the same dietary changes may adversely affect some indices of lipid peroxidation. Care should be taken when providing dietary advice on PUFA intake and an adequate intake of antioxidants to match any increased PUFA may be important for preventing oxidative stress.” Eur J Clin Nutr. 1999 Jul;53(7):523-8.

  24. Anthocyanins and Omega-3’s • “These results suggest that addition of polyphenols during active digestion can limit the development of (n-3) PUFA oxidation products in the small intestine lumen and thereby promote intestinal uptake of the beneficial, unoxidized, (n-3) PUFAs.” J Nutr. 2013 Mar;143(3):295-301. doi: 10.3945/jn.112.160101.

Top 22 Tips for Preventing (or Living With) Cardiovascular Disease—Heart Attack and Stroke—the Superhealth Way • Love those healthy fats • Eat like an Alaskan Brown Bear • Drink tea, 4 cups per day • “Thin” your blood naturally; berries, tea, n-3’s, tomato paste, kiwi, garlic, CocoaVia, Concord grape juice • Bring on the “B”s • Consume 10-15 grams of whole food soy protein/d • You can’t beat whole grains • Control your blood sugar: Goal FBS < 100 • Add 2-4 tablespoons per day of Bob’s Red Mill Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal, oat bran, wheat germ • Supplement your health with fish oil • Indulge in dark chocolate (CocoaVia the “best”)

  29. Inflammation and… • Caloric restriction • Caloric mimetics • Resveratrol • Quercetin • “GALT” • Role of pre-probiotics • Sets the stage for inflammation • Non-fat yogurt (organic when possible) -- Nature’s Bounty Probiotic 10 • Nutrigenomics • N-3’s • Berries • Spice

Furthermore, fatty acid profiles improve discrimination of acute non-fatal MI compared with established risk factors.” Br J Nutr. 2009 Nov;102(9):1355-61. doi: 10.1017/S0007114509990298.
