*In 1978, Dr. Julian Whitaker wrote an article in Runner's World magazine, explaining how an Athlete would benefit from a diet with no more than 10% fat. More than 10% was found to produce a clumping of the red blood cells which decreased oxygen uptake, critical for athletic performance.

This 10% fat diet as a part of reversing/preventing disease is now recommended by such notables as Drs. Ornish, Shintani, McDougal and Bernard.

Realistically, the average person will find it difficult to stay on a 10% fat diet.The athlete in training and competition as well as persons involved in disease reversal should maintain this level.

A diet consisting of 15-25% fat is recommended for the average person following the PDN program.The primary source of fats should be from Monounsaturated sources.Examples-Olive, hemp seed, macadamia nut and walnut

**Athletics that require high caloric expenditure both during training and competition (marathons, triathlons as well as professional athletes) may require 8,000 calories or more per day.

Anti Aging Optimum Calorie Diets of 1,200 calories /day,should take into consideration daily exercise caloric output

Jeet Kune Do   Sports Nutrition

PDN Vegetarianism was inspired by Bruce Lee's philosophy of

Jeet Kune Do.

Within The Tao of Jeet Kune Do, Master Lee postulated a sports nutrition program based upon

Buildup and Breakdown.

This concept mirrors the scientific principals of Anabolism (Buildup)  (youthening)

and Catabolism (Break down) biotrophy -aging.

The Tao of Jeet Kune Do also proposed a Muscular Diet.

Apiarian Nutrition

For those who are vegan or vegetarian for ethical reasons-Apiarian Nutrition is a concept that must be studied. Every religious text gives praise to the Bees and the Products of the Bee Hive. Without Bees there would be very little pollination of fruits and vegetables. From the perspective of Philosophy of Divine Nutrtion-Bees are animals who have a symbiotic and essential relationship with pollination and vegetation. One should still avoid these products if they are allergic

Oils are consumed for their essential fatty acid content.

Omega-3

Frying can be done with an oiled pan, not an oil pan.

Saturated and Trans Fatty Acids should be avoided

How much Omega-3

Maximum intake of oils should be 2 tablespoons/day.

Flax seed, Hemp, Walnut, Olive, Macadamia nut oils highly recommended
..

Potassium to sodium ratio: 2:1 or higher

Current CDC recommendations for 2/3 of Americans

is 1,500 mg. of salt per day

1 gram of sodium/day = 1 teaspoons/day of salt)

For African Americans, people over 40 yrs. old and those with hypertension

2/3 of a teaspoon of salt or less/day

Misconceptions about high blood pressure

Whenever possible, revisions to ones ethnic foods should be made so that the transition to vegetarianism and Veganism becomes easier for both the individual and the people that they live with.

Calculating Your BMI
And how to determine if you're at a healthy weight

Body-mass index (BMI) is a good indicator of whether you are at a healthy weight.

The US National Library of Medicine says

BMI is calculated by

1-multiplying your weight in pounds by 703,

2-and dividing that number by your height in inches.

3-Then divide the result again by your height in inches.

The agency offers the following ranges for interpreting BMI:

* A score below 18.5 indicates being underweight.
* Between 18.5 and 24.9 means a healthy body weight.
* Between 25 and 29.9 means you are overweight.
* Between 30 and 39.9 indicates obesity.
* A score of 40 or higher indicates morbid obesity.

 

 

Any foods within this nutritional program that are allergenic to the individual or proscribed for religious or philosophical reasons should be avoided. The FDA's food allergen awareness programs currently targets eight common foods that cause serious allergic reactions, including milk, fish, eggs, tree nuts, wheat, legumes (particularly peanuts and soybeans), crustaceans (such as shrimp and lobster), and mollusks (including mussels, clams, and oysters).


The Most Common Food Allergies
The new guidelines appear in the

March 2006 issue of the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.

Food allergies occur when a sensitive person eats, inhales, or comes into contact with even tiny amounts of foods or food additives. These allergic reactions can be very mild or may be life-threatening.

Food allergies are becoming more and more common. There has been an increase in severe food allergy cases in the last 10 years, mostly driven by peanut and tree nut allergies.

In children, the most common food allergies are:
Cow's milk
Hen's eggs
Peanuts
Tree nuts
Soybeans
Wheat

In adults, the most common food allergies are:
Peanuts
Tree nuts
Fish
Crustaceans (such as shrimp, crabs, and lobster)
Mollusks (such as clams, oysters, and mussels)
Fruits
Vegetables

In children, the foods most likely to cause severe allergic reactions -- anaphylaxis -- are peanuts, other legumes, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, milk, and eggs.

In adults, the foods most likely to cause anaphylaxis are peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish.

Symptoms tend to occur just after eating. They may include reddening of the skin, hives, itchy skin, swollen lips or eyelids, tightness of the throat, wheezing, difficulty breathing, coughing, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Fruits and Vegetables least and most likely to be high in pesticides

Least

Asparagus, Avocados, Bananas, Broccoli, Cauliflower

Corn, Kiwi, Mangoes, Onions, Papayas, Peas, Pineapples

 

Most

Apples, Celery, Cherries, Grapes, Nectarines, Peaches

Pears, Potatoes, Raspberries, Spinach, Strawberries, Sweet Bell Peppers

Guideline to Food Labeling

The USDA green and white Organic Seal means

  • Ingredients were grown without synthetic herbicides and pesticides
  • Not genetically engineered nor irradiated
  • Not fertilized with sewage sludge

Organic packaged foods have three classifications

 

  1. 100% Organic-ALL of the ingredients in the food must be organic
  2. Organic-95% must be organic with the remaining 5% coming from an approved list
  3. Made with Organic ingredients-70% organic with the remaining 30% from an approved list.List developed by the National Organic Standards Board

  • CALORIE FREE - Less than five calories per serving
  • LOW CALORIE - 40 calories or less per serving
  • LITE OR LIGHT - 1/3 fewer calories or 50% less fat than normal of that particular food
  • LIGHT IN SODIUM - 50% less sodium than the norm
  • FAT FREE - Less than ½ gram of fat per serving
  • LOWFAT - 3 Grams or less fat per serving
  • CHOLESTEROL FREE - Less than 2 mg. of cholesterol and 2 or less grams of saturated fat per serving
  • LOW CHOLESTEROL - 20 mg. or less of cholesterol and 2 or less grams of saturated fat per serving
  • SODIUM FREE - Less than 5 mg. of sodium per serving
  • VERY LOW SODIUM - 35 mg. or less sodium per serving
  • LOW SODIUM - 140 mg. or less sodium per serving
  • HIGH FIBER - 5 grams or more fiber per serving

FOOD SAFETY
Some of the problematic bacteria you want to protect your family from include:

E. coli. This bacterium, found mainly in ground beef, causes an estimated 25,000 cases of food poisoning in the United States each year and kills about 100 people. Some people infected with E. coli suffer permanent kidney damage. Contamination occurs during meat processing, when E. coli from the animals’ intestines becomes mixed in with the meat. E. coli contamination has prompted massive recalls of millions of pounds of ground meat.

Salmonella. This bacterium is found mostly in meat and eggs. But it spreads to other foods, such as ice cream and fruit, when they are shipped with contaminated meat or eggs.A study in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2001 showed how alarmingly prevalent it is: 20% of 200 samples of ground chicken, beef, turkey, and pork contained salmonella. Of particular concern, 84% of the salmonella samples were resistant to at least one antibiotic, and 53% to at least three antibiotics. This means that when animals carry salmonella — and when people get salmonella food poisoning — it’s more difficult to cure than it was in years past.

Campylobacter. This bacterium is especially common in poultry. Antibiotic-resistant strains are becoming more prevalent because of the widespread use of antibiotics in chicken feed. In a 2001 report in the New England Journal of Medicine, 17% of chickens sampled in supermarkets in four states had Campylobacter strains that were resistant to antibiotics.

Handling food safely
You can prevent most cases of food poisoning in your household by preparing and storing your foods safely. These precautions will help kill germs that are present in the meat and eggs you buy and help you avoid introducing new bugs to your food at home.

Rinse foods. Rinsing can wash off some germs from meat, poultry, and fish and pesticide residues from produce. Rinse all meat, poultry, and fish under running water before cooking.

Rinse all fruits and vegetables under running water before cooking or serving them.Wash your hands. Frequent handwashing helps prevent you from passing germs from one food to another. Use soap and water to wash your hands each time you handle a raw food. Don’t wipe your hands on a dishtowel without washing them first.Use separate utensils.

Don’t prepare meat and fish on the same surface that you use for other foods — otherwise, you risk contaminating those foods with bacteria from the meat and fish.

Use one cutting board for meats and fish and a second one for produce. Be sure to wash the cutting boards with soap and water after each use. Use different knives to cut different foods to prevent cross-contamination.

Cooking. Cook all meat, poultry, eggs, and freshwater fish. Don’t rely on color alone to indicate whether meat is fully cooked. The USDA recommends that everyone use a meat thermometer. Different temperatures are required to kill off germs in different kinds of meat. It’s also important to cook hot dogs and other precooked meats and fish, to destroy bacteria that may have contaminated them in the processing plants.Use a meat or "instant-read" thermometer to ensure accuracy.

Here are some target temperatures in degrees from the American Dietetic Association:

Ground meat products: 160, or until the inside is no longer pink and juices run clear
* Steak: medium rare: 145
* Steak: medium: 160
* Steak: well done: 170
Poultry thighs, breasts, or wings: 170, or until juices run clear

Grill meat until it is cooked, but not charred—some studies have suggested that possible cancer-causing compounds (called heterocyclic aromatic amines) are formed when meat is charred. Scrape off any charred areas before you eat the barbecued meat.

Storing. Don’t leave any foods, before or after cooking, at room temperature for more than two hours (one hour if the air temperature is above 90° F). Put them in the refrigerator or freezer. The temperature inside your refrigerator should be 40° F or below; your freezer should be at 0° F or below. If you have large amounts of leftovers, divide them into small batches when you put them away in the refrigerator or freezer. That way, the temperature of each batch will reach a safe level faster. Keep in mind that freezing does not necessarily kill bacteria; wash meats and poultry thoroughly after thawing, and handle them the same as you would fresh meats.
