This post should have been here months ago, way earlier than my last post but due to the problems I have stated in my previous post, I am just going to post this post now, because I can't leave this post unposted? for I found this post really postable? and worth posting. gets?...lol... Don't mind me. Looks like a new word of the day has emerged.
As I was saying, I can't let this post unposted? for this post....shut up..quit keep saying the word! (annoyed?)..ok..as I was saying this article should have been written here before for its medical significance. Let's now cut to the chase and go straight to the topic. I read an article on a health magazine my cousin has brought from Recto. It is entitled "Do They Practice What They Preach?.", a report about on do medical experts or doctors practice what they told to their patients to do. Specifically, it concerns more on whether they consider the foods they prescribed to their patients to eat, to be on their own meals or not. But as I read the article, I found that they do consider it, they really have a healthy diet which I wish I could have too.The writer interviewed three medical professionals. First a Cardiologist, who specializes on heart and cardiac muscles, second is a Diabetologist, who studies diabetes and the last is an Oncologist, the one who treats cancers. The writer investigates the three's diet.
**Antonio Sibulo, the heart expert among the three, said that their household doesn't go for meat, about 80 percent of what he eat is fish and vegetables. His daily meal is comprised of.....
>>>for breakfast, he prefer scrambled eggs minus the yolks. Do you know that egg's cholesterol is concentrated on the yolk? Along with this is a small amount of rice for his carbo supply.
>>>his lunch is just two spoonful of rice and vegetables.
>>>for merienda, he gives himself a license to break away from his low carbohydrate diet by treating himself in moderation to some puto seko or rice cake. He explained that he avoid cookies and processed foods for they are reach in transfatty acids. These acids cause coronary diseases. On weekends, he goes for kesong puti since it has lower cholesterol than any other types of cheese.
>>>his dinner is basically fish that is either fried in canola oil or olive oil or cooked in sinigang broth. He tries to avoid cake and too much sweets, preferring fruits for dessert instead.
>>>He said that he is not an apple or a banana person, his favorites are chico, atis and watermelon. His favorite drink is fresh melon that has been blitzed in juicer and taken straight up without sugar or milk.
>>>He also enjoys red wine, letting himself to take it three times a week. Studies show, moderate consumption of wine can offer cardiac protection.
>>>He prefer tea than coffee for it has a higher antioxidant properties. He doesn't use multivitamins and limits his sodium intake.
>>>"Cardiovascular disease doesn't happen overnight. It's a long process, a gradual build up of factors. You have to invest (in good nutrition habits) early in life. Hindi pwedeng pagdating ng 60 bago ka maguumpisa.", he said.
**The diabetologist, Ricardo Fernando also shared his dietary habits. Enumerated below are the dishes he took daily......
>>>He starts his day with a breakfast of bread that's thinly spread with peanut butter (no sugar added) or Cheese Whiz, perhaps an egg and a glass of juice, usually unsweetened pineapple.
>>>When going to his office, he practically run and don't use elevators.
>>>"Stay away from baboy, baka - all four-footed animals - mantika, taba, asukal at honey. That means avoiding butter, margarine, mayonaise, cheese and foods that are ginisa (sauteed) or pinirito (fried), as much as possible. Cooking oil should be used sparingly.", he warned.
>>> His dishes are either nilaga, sinigang, inihaw, pinakbet or pesa because he believed that once fats enter the body, they are broken into free fatty-acids (FFA). The pancreas cannot tell where the FFA came from, whether it's from the good, the bad or the intermediate, as they call it. Fatty-acids in big amounts are not good for the beta cells of Islets of Langerhans, the ones concerned with diabetes. Apoptosis could happen, meaning beta cells will die.
>>>He is particularly aversive to cooking by microwave. He stated that microwave produces oxidants. Even water is converted into H2O2, which is an oxidant. The number one culprit in the generation of cancer is microwave. It causes cancer, diabetes, hypertension, heart and kidney diseases. "Maraming kasalanan yan.", he exclaimed. He emphasized that sudden intense heat converts food, especially fats into oxidants. This method also applies to fast foods.
>>>What's on his menu most of the time is fish, vegetables and chicken, ideally the breast with its skin removed prior to cooking. He accompanies them with rice, restricted to one cup.
>>>His snacks could be as varied as a bowl of nilugawang manok, a reasonable amount of fruits, a serving of veggies such as singkamas and cucumber dipped in vinegar, a cup of sugar-free gulaman (his favorite) or a can of chocolate-flavored Glucerna.
>>>He takes Chinese green tea over coffee most of the time, in order to benefit from the ancient's drink anti-oxidant properties.
>>>He stressed out that dinner should always be the lightest meal of a diabetic. He consumes less than a cup of rice in the evening. Actually, it makes sense. It cuts down on calories on the last meal of the day since the succeeding waking hours is when the body expends the least amount of energy.
>>>Closing the interview, he said "The average Filipino when he dies is 68, according to NSO, so I treat my patients up to 68, so he still has good eyes, hindi siya nai-stroke, naba-by-pass, nada-dialysis and he still has two good feet. After 68, 70, they can choose to die early with complication or die later. It's a matter of their personal philosophy in life. Sabi nga sa akin ng pasyente ko na 90 yrs. old na, si Senator Salonga, iho, sa edad kong ito, wala ng bawal bawal. How else do you want me to die?."
**Romulo de Villa, the oncologist was the last one who give his piece. The details after this sentence are taken from him.....
>>>He begins his day by drinking two glasses of water. He explained that it hydrates the body and washes the digestive system. It's a healthy habit to do so one hour before breakfast, and preferably before every meal. One more thing he never misses to drink every morning is one of New Zealand's full-cream powdered milk. He elaborates that studies show that those who consume short-chain fatty acids--butyric acid--found in the cream of the milk have reduced risk of colon cancer. They nourish the lining of the colon and strengten it. 20 % of the fat from milk is butyric acid. Also another fat in the milk is conjugated linoleic acid, which is an anticarcinogenic.
>>>His breakfast is primarily mixed red and brown rice, plus two eggs, always boiled and never fried. "Avoid frying especially with unsaturated oils. Studies show that when you heat unsaturated oils, they turn into bad oil, lipid peroxide.", he exclaimed.
>>>He described his diet predominantly fruits and vegetables. He detailed that fruits and veggies promote the growth of healthy gastrointestinal flora, the good bacteria in the intestines feed on the fiber of fruits and vegetables, fermenting them in the process. When they do that, they generate butyric acid. The bifidus bacteria--lactobacilli--produce butyric acid and most of them reside in the colon keeping it healthy.
>>>He revealed that he would eat beef, but not pork, after discovering that while pork has unsaturated fats, its proportion of omega 3 to omega 6--the two types of unsaturated fats--is of an unhealthy proportion. Ratio should be 1:1 to 1:4, borderline is 1:6 but pork is 1:9.
>>>He also said that pork is more inflammatory because of the excess omega 6, which from what he knows in biochemistry, is more inflammatory than omega 3.
>>>To identify who has a higher fat quantity, beef or pork, he conducted a home-based experiment. He boiled a quarter kilo of each meat separately and bottled their broth. He found out, from the surface, mas malaki yung sebo ng beef, but when you look at the side--fat is not just the sebo, it's the oil--mas makapal yung oil sa pork and he did it twice to confirm.
>>>The writer discovered that shrimps and shellfish are not on de Villa's plate. According to the oncologist, these types of seafood, which live at the bottom of the river mouth where factories are positioned, are exposed to industrial waste products. Fish, such as salmon, is a healthier alternative. He prefers it cooked in water or sushi style.
That's it. I think I would close this blog writing just a few words from me since I noticed that this post seems to be the longest post I posted ever....(stop!!!, before I start using the word 'post' redundantly again!!).. Okay, I hope this one helped you somehow. For the easily-tensed and always mad high-blood people, for the not so-sweet one-footed diabetics, and for the nearly bald lumpy cancer patients..just a piece of advise from a caring citizen --very caring indeed!..I dare all of you to walk a mile on the three doctors' shoes respectively, and see what would happen....Maybe one day, on the road you'll observed that you are not the easily-tensed and always mad high blood person anymore but rather an optimistic and a cheerful one, you are no longer the not so-sweet diabetic for you already found the right spice that would sweeten your being but the fact that you still need to stand with just a foot and a saklay remains... atleast you knew that you wouldn't see yourself walking with your two bare hands or with a pair of saklay (thinking that I'll write a wheelchair here?...in your dreams, you don't have the money to afford one) in the near future for you have saved the only thing which keeps you standing still.(drama...), and lastly you are not the lumpy and nearly-bald cancer patient anymore, coz' you find yourself now stunningly beautiful without the aching lumps that you used to have, and alluring for possessing the long shining silky hair that you have aspired long ago.You could make your ultimate dream come to reality now..Go, get your hair ready..coz you are going to be the next sought-after hair shampoo commercial model-extra. Just kidding........
So the next time you eat on a classy restaurant, don't call the waiter for the menu, ask the doctor instead. Waiters would just present you all the scrumptious foods that would water your mouth most of which are hazardous to your own health. You can't blame them though, it's part of their job. I have nothing against waiters, it's just that I was trying to relate this post to it's title. Doctors on the other hand, would offer the healthiest meals to you, most of which are not delectable and not so delightful and enjoying to eat compared to the restaurant's. Some could turn your stomach upside down. That's true...I totally agree. But one thing is for sure, doing the latter would make you inhale more oxygen molecules for a longer period of time.
Okay I'll cut this crap, It's pretty longer than I thought it would be..We're getting away from the topic. Ciao.
Told you, just a few words... :-)
PS
Sorry for the adjectives used. Peace!!
