? As a medical worker with general medical knowledge, I insisted on fitness for a long time, so I tried to start coding this passage. Looking at the pressure of living in nearly half a medical circle and gathering medical coffee, I hope to evaluate this book and share it with the following individuals with an inclusive attitude.
? It is better to believe in books than not to have them. I think this sentence must be put before the opening.
"Eat at most one egg a day, and it is best not to exceed four eggs a week."
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
"People with three highs are all the fault of fat cholesterol."
High carbon water, high calorie, low salt and low fat.
"Eat more whole grains"
? We should often hear similar "warning messages" above, but all social people who participate in social activities can't deny it and try their best to follow it. Even as medical staff, they talk about high calorie, high nutrition, low salt and low fat. However, this book, with nearly a thousand quotations from scientific research and argumentation, tells us:
"Your brain will get sick, not genetically predestined. The culprit is the food you eat every day! "
? At the beginning, the author quoted a sentence from Huangdi Neijing, "It is said that saints failed to cure diseases and diseases failed to be cured. This is also called. " . Throw a brick to attract jade and clarify your point of view.
? First of all, popularize a noun "bran" for everyone.
? Gluten is a group of protein in cereals, especially wheat. Wheat is very similar to rye, barley and oats. So these grains also contain gluten. Gluten gives the dough a solid structure. Gluten is a common protein of most people, which is easily digested by gastrointestinal tract. However, a few people can't digest gluten. These people have indications for gluten-the most common symptom is celiac disease, which is indigestion. Gluten is a compound protein. As an adhesive, it binds the flour ground from grain into a whole, and those soft, fluffy and chewy breads are the credit of gluten. Gluten is also the key to fermentation. Gluten is not only found in wheat, rye, barley and other grains, but also widely used in cheese, margarine, conditioner and mascara. What comes to mind immediately here is my favorite baked gluten.
? After understanding the definition of gluten, summarize the subversive views in the book and summarize them in popular words:
1, the influence of gluten is not limited to celiac disease patients, it has an impact on everyone's health;
2. Cholesterol is friendly to human beings;
3. Long-term high carbohydrate and sugar intake is the chief culprit in inducing various diseases. At present, the author has confirmed that cereals containing gluten are the ultimate culprits of various diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, diabetic obesity, headache, epilepsy, depression, anxiety and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. ?
This book subverts the nutritional diet guide that we have always believed in, and gives advice on eating less carbohydrates and more fat and high cholesterol. Translated into saying, eat less rice flour, eat more meat and eat healthy fat. He believes that healthy fat is not peanut oil and soybean oil that we often eat, but super primary olive oil or sunflower seed oil.
I want to see here, you will scoff, even feel ridiculous. Me too. Halfway through the second chapter, I was already full of doubts. I talked nonsense to the author. I used the words "absolutely, definitely, believe me, fallacy, truth, experiment proves, truth" in every paragraph, and I felt like a flea.
Figure 1 shows the 13 annotation in Chapter 2. At the end of the book, the author attached all the cited scientific experimental papers to the end. There are hundreds. The Lancet is a top periodical family in the medical field. Adhering to the highest standards of medical science, THE LANCET's English name is The Lancet. In English, The Lancet means both "scalpel" and "pointed dome window", which means that our periodical is determined to be "a bright window to illuminate the medical field". All kinds of academic research with impact factors as high as 60 adhere to its core idea, that is, insisting that medicine must serve the society, knowledge must change the society, and create a good life with good science. Knowing its influence, I went to search and verify it myself with the attitude of verification. In fact, my mind at that time was that I could finally uncover the "pseudo-science" face of the author's madness. After searching wildly on Wanfang Medical Online, you will see Figure 3, a paper exactly like the author. Publication time, periodicals and their contents after English-Chinese translation. Keep the caliber completely consistent.
? Seeing this, I think you will still be dubious, because of your years of education and life knowledge reserves. "It's impossible". Will there still be shouting voices in it? . ? Then I will continue to share some subversive research results in the book, which will make you feel miserable.
? 1. Cognitive impairment: there is a positive linear relationship between total cholesterol level and cognitive performance, and the risk of mild cognitive impairment in the elderly who consume a lot of carbohydrates is four times that of the general intake; People who eat high levels of healthy fat are 42% less likely to suffer from cognitive impairment.
? 2. Dementia: A study published in Neurology in 2007 showed that people who never eat fish have a 37% increased risk of dementia, and those who eat fish every day have a 44% decreased risk of dementia. People who regularly eat butter have not changed, but people who regularly eat fats rich in omega -3 fatty acids (healthy fats), such as olive oil, are 60% less likely to suffer from dementia than those who don't eat regularly.
? 3. Atherosclerosis and heart disease: oxidized low-density lipoprotein is the key factor of atherosclerosis, and the main factor of low-density lipoprotein oxidation is high blood sugar level. We mistakenly believe that the fat in the diet will increase the cholesterol level in the body and make people more prone to heart disease and stroke, but many large-scale studies have not found the correlation between cholesterol level and heart disease. There are also many large-scale sample studies that show that saturated fatty acids that we have been afraid of have no correlation with coronary heart disease, stroke and cardiovascular diseases, nor with the incidence of obesity, cancer and osteoporosis. On the contrary, neuroscientists all over the world have published several SCI studies on the brain damage caused by statins on memory and cognition. Of course, by the way, statins are still widely used in clinic. Lipitor is the leader of our vascular department. I, from the Department of Vascular Medicine, omit 10,000 words here. . . . . .
4. 1977, the U.S. Senate issued a dietary goal, proposing that saturated fatty acids can block blood vessels, thus giving rise to our current misconception that "fat is not good for health" and "carbohydrates are good for health". The fat hypothesis has dominated the cardiovascular field for decades. Ironically, in 1994, the American Diabetes Association advised Americans to consume 60%-70% of the total calories, which made the incidence of diabetes sharply double from 1997 to 2007.
? Here's a digression.
? I finished reading this book quickly, and of course I caught all the key points that I could absorb and think about. Because many research academic terms have long been familiar. I am familiar with the description of many experimental processes, the feedback of results, the comparison of data and the explanation of disease pathogenesis, just like browsing more than N literatures. If people in other industries read it, they may find it obscure. I will try my best to explain the ideas expressed in the author's book with some popular explanations. Yes, seeing this, I have become a woman who is convinced of the arguments of scientific research itself and is noisy for you here. Women are really fickle? .
? Get back to the book.
? "Is modern nutrition really scientific?"
? First of all, with this question, let's enter the reading part of the next article.
?
How to get fat?
Modern nutrition science tells you to speed up metabolism, eat more carbohydrates and avoid fat and cholesterol, but this nutrition theory has no cultural inheritance and evolution factors, and actually does not make people healthy. But a lot of advertisements, weight loss advice and popular books are flaunting this concept. Of course, there has been scientific evidence that trans fatty acids are related to many chronic diseases, and you should know that healthy fat and cholesterol are good for health, and a lot of carbohydrates are the source of our physical dysfunction. We have always advocated eating more grains and vegetables and less foods with high cholesterol and fat, because the latter will make you obese, and the "three highs" will come to you. In fact, obesity, three highs, and those diseases in your mind are all caused by carbohydrates! Your fat is converted and stored by the liver, and your high cholesterol is also made by the liver when you don't consume enough natural cholesterol!
Back to the harm of carbohydrates, you have to ask, how did it lose its brain? How to lead to diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and depression?
? Let's talk about gluten first
? Because gluten destroys neurotransmitters in the brain, people can't judge how much to eat and what to eat. My own feeling is that eating these pasta, such as freshly baked bread and steamed bread, is really better. Even if you don't eat anything, you will feel delicious and eat a lot unconsciously. Not to mention delicious dishes. The medical principle is that gluten can enter the stomach, become a polypeptide that can cross the blood-brain barrier, and combine with morphine receptors in the brain to produce a pleasant feeling. This kind of thing called endorphin can damage the brain. So you will be addicted to those chewy scones, croissants and all kinds of dessert cakes.
Do you know which of the following four foods makes blood sugar rise fastest?
1) a piece of whole wheat bread;
2) Snickers;
3) a spoonful of sugar;
4) A banana.
Nine times out of ten, you will make the wrong choice. Their glycemic indices were 765,438+0,55,68 and 54 respectively. (The book is supported by experimental data). You didn't expect wheat to significantly improve blood sugar than sugar. This is the function of gluten.
2. Alzheimer's disease.
? You may not know that Alzheimer's disease is also called type 3 diabetes. The 20 15 Global Alzheimer's Report released by the International Alzheimer's Association in 20 15 shows that by 2050, the number of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease in the world will more than triple from the current 47 million, reaching1320,000. In just 20 15 years, there are about100000 new cases of Alzheimer's Harmo's disease, which is equivalent to about 19 people suffering from Alzheimer's disease every minute. It's never too late to stop Alzheimer's disease from now on.
? The author lists several possible causes of Alzheimer's Harmo's disease: diabetes; Although not diabetic, but in a state of hyperglycemia for a long time; Excessive intake of carbohydrates; A low-fat diet with too little cholesterol intake; The problem of gluten allergy. The book provides a lot of argumentation research.
? 3. Cholesterol
It is worth pointing out that sexual dysfunction is also closely related to this. The most common cause of impotence is extremely low cholesterol level, because testosterone level is produced by cholesterol. The mortality rate of men with low testosterone level is more than twice that of normal men, and if you are a patient with coronary heart disease, the doctor will let you take statins to lower your cholesterol, then lower your testosterone level, and then increase your risk of death. This is crazy logic. At the same time, experiments show that high cholesterol is positively correlated with cognitive ability, immunity, mental state and maintaining the normal operation of various organs.
4. If you have a strong brain.
? Before 1990s, researchers in brain science thought that brain cells could not be regenerated. 1998, Swedish neuroscientist Peter Eriksson discovered neural stem cells, which can supplement brain neurons. So, how can we grow new brain neurons, what affects the process of nerve regeneration, and what should we do?
? The study of DNA shows that a protein called "brain-derived neurotrophic factor" plays a key role, which can not only promote nerve regeneration, but also protect existing neurons. Studies have proved that brain-derived neurotrophic factor in patients with Alzheimer's disease has decreased. Fortunately, we can promote the increase of this factor through a series of artificial methods:
(1) practice
Aerobic exercise can increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor and increase the growth of new brain cells in brain memory center. Our initial understanding is that exercise can promote cerebral blood circulation, thus nourishing the maintenance and production of cells, but now research shows that its benefits also include: controlling inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, controlling blood sugar, expanding the volume of memory center, and improving the level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Sports are super, super important. There is a more detailed analysis in the book.
(2) calorie restriction (you can stop eating in stages)
A confirmation from Germany showed that compared with two groups of elderly people, one group reduced calories by 30%, while the other group ate whatever they wanted. After three months, the memory of the group with reduced calories improved significantly, while the latter decreased significantly. A study from Chile also confirmed that reducing calories can detect a rare increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
(3) Ketogenic diet
The so-called ketogenic diet is a diet with high fat, low carbohydrate and protein. Ketogenic diet is an effective method to treat Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic sclerosis and autism.
(4) Ensure adequate sleep.
Here we introduce a leptin found in 1994. It controls almost all the functions of the middle hypothalamus. Leptin can control your metabolism by controlling the thyroid gland, supervise all energy storage, decide whether you are hungry, and decide whether to store more fat or burn fat. When there is something wrong with your hormonal system, you can't really solve the problem unless you control leptin. Leptin was discovered so late because it exists in fat cells. Lack of sleep can cause leptin to plummet. At present, there are no drugs or supplements that can balance leptin levels in the world. Improving sleep and diet is the most effective way at present.
?
? This book is not only about the health of the brain, but also about the health of the whole body. Please remember that carbohydrates and gluten are harmful to our health. Blood sugar is the most important thing in the prevention and control of all diseases. Blood sugar will destroy your body balance and lead to various diseases.
? Finally, the kitchen list given by the author is listed.
Clean your kitchen (cleaning list)
(1) Foods containing gluten: bread, noodles, pasta, cakes and cereals.
(2) Processing carbohydrates, sugar and starch: corn, yam, potato, sweet potato and various processed desserts; All kinds of candy, syrup, ice cream, fruit juice, jam, dried fruit, all kinds of drinks, fried food, etc.
(3) margarine, vegetable shortening, edible oil (soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil, etc. )
(4) Non-fermented soybeans (such as tofu and soybean milk) and processed bean products. In particular, some soy sauces on the market contain a small amount of gluten, so we should choose to eat 100% soybeans to brew soy sauce without wheat components.
