Mediterranean diet improved hepatic steatosis, insulin sensitivity in patients

by | Jul 17, 2013 | Diet, High Fat Diet, Low carb diet | 0 comments

High Fat Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease reduced their liver steatosis and improved their insulin sensitivity by adhering to a 6-week Mediterranean diet without experiencing weight loss in a recent study.

Using a cross-over dietary intervention study, researchers compared the results of 12 participants (six men, six women), all with biopsy-proven nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). All were randomly assigned to both a Mediterranean diet and a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet (LF/HCD) with a 6-week washout period between diets. The MD was high in monounsaturated fats from olive oil and omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The LF/HCD was low in saturated and unsaturated fats and included more carbohydrates than the MD.

Baseline values for all participants were not significantly different when starting with either the MD or LF/HCD. Intrahepatic lipids (IHL) used to indicate hepatic steatosis was measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and insulin sensitivity also was assessed.

Low-Carb Diet May Slow Alzheimer’s Disease

You know it’s curious when many people ask me about what I think they should do about such and such a condition. They all seem surprised when I say “well, let’s have a look at what you’re eating before we go any further” because over the years I found truly that so many of the problems, diseases, illnesses both physical and mental far too often have a source or certainly a highly contributory factor in what we eat and having watched my mother suffer with Parkinson’s disease and many of her friends and those in that generation suffer with Alzheimer’s as well.

Nothing yet has convinced me that there’s not quite a bit of truth that the gradual lowering in quality of our food has contributed quite strongly to the gradual increase in many of the health problems that we as a society suffer which is why I’m quite happy to  recommend the article that I’m linking to below by Dr. Mercola who’s looking at the work of another doctor, Dr. Ron Rosedale, who’s a prominent  expert in low carb and high-quality fat approach to improving health and the article points to a very interesting conclusion that Alzheimer’s might well be considered as brain diabetes.

It’s well worth a good read as not only do they point out some of the more cutting edge work about exactly what casues Alzheimer’s but they lead on from that and tell us about how we can avoid Alzheimer’s just by simple changes in our diet and behavior to a certain extent anyway, fairly recommend as well and I hope it helps you.

Low carb diets and heart disease – What are we afraid of?

by | Mar 29, 2013 | Diabetes, Health organization, High Fat Diet, Low carb diet, Obesity, Weight Loss | 0 comments

1297680967Xa27j9It seems that the medical establishment still does not feel comfortable with suggesting low carb diets for people with heart disease. It seems that they are afraid of something or another.

Yet those of us who have followed low carb diets have found that almost without exception, the huge range of health benefits positively outweigh any inconvenience that we might suffer through restricting our diet by moderate amount.

This article I’ve linked to below goes through many of the different types of diets that could be called loosely low carb and covers many of the relevant points and studies in quite a comprehensive way.

Let Them Eat Fat

by | Mar 19, 2013 | High Fat Diet, Low carb diet, Weight Loss | 0 comments

 

???????????????????????????????????????You know the strange thing is even though I’m the most healthy person amongst my group of friends they still marvel or actually complain at the amount of fat that I eat when we’re eating together and even after all these years I still get “Oh aren’t you afraid your cholesterol will go through the roof?” Of course to which I reply “I don’t have cholesterol problems. Why would I be afraid of it going through the roof?” It’s still often met with gasps and half joking and half sincere offers to phone the ambulance when I have a heart attack.

But sometimes you know I don’t think this semi lighthearted banter is really so much out of concern from my health and well being. I think a lot of it is purely out of jealousy because I obviously enjoy what I’m eating whereas many times my eating companions don’t really seem to be doing so.

Don’t you just love being low carb?

Cheers,

Mark
