00:00:10.94\00:00:13.87
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living.
00:00:39.69\00:00:41.17
I'm Curtis Eakins
and my beautiful bride of
00:00:41.20\00:00:43.96
over 10 years at
least at the taping of this
00:00:43.99\00:00:47.22
program is Paula Eakins.
00:00:47.25\00:00:49.03
How you doing today, honey?
00:00:49.52\00:00:50.89
Wonderful. Also
better known as the
00:00:50.92\00:00:52.66
Tofu Lady that's what people
00:00:52.69\00:00:54.07
tell me, is that
true? Yeah. Do you work a
00:00:54.10\00:00:56.17
lot with tofu? Absolutely, okay
00:00:56.20\00:00:58.05
other things too
but tofu is one of those
00:00:58.08\00:00:59.85
main things that
you work with, yes.
00:00:59.88\00:01:01.72
Okay, someone called
me that the other day,
00:01:01.87\00:01:03.53
I was going somewhere when
00:01:03.56\00:01:04.93
someone said hey, Tofu Lady.
00:01:04.96\00:01:06.33
And you turned
around, didn't you?
00:01:06.36\00:01:07.73
Yes, I did, yes
you did, all right.
00:01:07.76\00:01:09.13
We've been
talking about cholesterol.
00:01:10.88\00:01:12.25
Well, yes we have. And those who
00:01:12.28\00:01:13.68
missed the first
program; this is part two, so of
00:01:13.71\00:01:16.82
course we're gonna
just give you just a
00:01:16.85\00:01:18.29
tad bit, just a tad
of the information that
00:01:18.68\00:01:20.99
we had on program
one and you have to
00:01:21.02\00:01:23.49
call in and get the tape, okay.
00:01:23.52\00:01:25.27
Well, let's start
with you now, you talk
00:01:25.50\00:01:26.87
about LDL, VLDL, HDL, and again,
00:01:26.90\00:01:30.80
briefly, what are
those terms and maybe
00:01:30.83\00:01:32.98
some numbers
attached to each one of
00:01:33.01\00:01:34.65
those three
items. Well, I think in a
00:01:34.68\00:01:37.92
summary, I meet a
lot of people who talk
00:01:37.95\00:01:39.68
about they have
high cholesterol and they
00:01:39.71\00:01:42.05
went to a health
fair or whatever and had
00:01:42.08\00:01:44.44
their, had them
prick their finger and go
00:01:44.47\00:01:46.12
away and came back but really we
00:01:46.15\00:01:48.02
recommend that
you have a full blood
00:01:48.05\00:01:50.81
panel done by your
doctor, to go in and
00:01:50.84\00:01:53.82
let them take the
full blood panel which
00:01:53.85\00:01:55.88
means they have
been spinning around,
00:01:55.91\00:01:57.28
they get more
than just an over all
00:01:57.31\00:01:58.68
cholesterol score
okay, they will go and get
00:01:58.71\00:02:00.48
the LDL which is
Low Density Lipoprotein,
00:02:00.51\00:02:02.97
the VLDL, Very Low
Density Lipoprotein
00:02:03.22\00:02:05.49
the HDL which is
the good guys High
00:02:05.82\00:02:09.55
density Lipoprotein and also the
00:02:09.58\00:02:11.31
triglyceride
levels. Now the ones which
00:02:11.34\00:02:13.26
you do not want
high is your LDL,
00:02:13.29\00:02:16.80
your VLDL and your
triglyceride levels
00:02:17.14\00:02:20.20
okay, we've talked
about all those being
00:02:20.23\00:02:21.60
low below 100 and
we want to get that
00:02:21.63\00:02:23.50
cholesterol to
HDL level, up above 60
00:02:23.53\00:02:26.52
okay, all right?
And so it's very, very
00:02:26.62\00:02:28.70
important that
you know what your
00:02:28.73\00:02:30.10
cholesterol levels
are and that you have
00:02:30.13\00:02:31.92
yourself checked constantly to
00:02:31.95\00:02:33.32
see how things are
going. And again, we've
00:02:33.35\00:02:35.20
mentioned about the
higher the cholesterol
00:02:35.23\00:02:36.93
the overall cholesterol,
the higher the risk of
00:02:36.96\00:02:39.37
cardio-vascular
disease, absolutely so if the
00:02:39.40\00:02:41.22
cholesterol goes up
high and of course our
00:02:41.25\00:02:43.11
risk of death
from heart disease also
00:02:43.14\00:02:45.26
goes up as
well. We had mentioned
00:02:45.29\00:02:47.08
about the
cholesterol ratio, we found how
00:02:47.11\00:02:50.58
we can determine
our cholesterol ratio,
00:02:50.61\00:02:52.05
now sometimes
on your lab report,
00:02:52.08\00:02:54.17
it would give you
your cholesterol ratio
00:02:54.42\00:02:56.11
in the lab report,
some reports do not,
00:02:56.14\00:02:58.14
just depends on
the lab, just doing the
00:02:58.17\00:02:59.54
cholesterol ratio,
but cholesterol ratio if
00:02:59.57\00:03:02.97
you get your
overall cholesterol and
00:03:03.00\00:03:04.48
divided by your HDL,
that gives you your ratio.
00:03:04.51\00:03:07.12
Your ratio wanted
be below 3.5, so again
00:03:07.89\00:03:11.86
I think we did
last week as I can
00:03:11.89\00:03:13.90
remember if one's
cholesterol is 190
00:03:13.93\00:03:17.17
and then HDL is 38
then the ratio is 5.0
00:03:18.10\00:03:22.45
which is very
high, but as we mentioned
00:03:22.48\00:03:25.07
before if one's
cholesterol is 220
00:03:25.10\00:03:27.59
but their HDL is 73,
then their ratio is 3.0
00:03:28.33\00:03:35.21
which is below 3.5
so that person is in a
00:03:35.24\00:03:37.60
better shape
although their overall
00:03:37.63\00:03:39.58
cholesterol is higher
but the ratio is lower
00:03:39.61\00:03:42.77
because of the high
HDL, and that thing needs
00:03:43.02\00:03:45.57
to be really zero
in on and brought home
00:03:45.60\00:03:47.97
because people
need to understand that
00:03:48.00\00:03:49.37
ratio which is more
the determining factor
00:03:49.40\00:03:51.38
than the overall cholesterol.
00:03:51.41\00:03:52.94
We also made a comment about the
00:03:53.52\00:03:54.89
fact that you know
that a lot of stress in
00:03:54.92\00:03:56.98
your life can also
raise your cholesterol.
00:03:57.01\00:03:59.53
So, we've talked
about going out in
00:03:59.71\00:04:01.46
nature, taking a
nature walk you know,
00:04:01.49\00:04:03.65
lessening the stress
in your life, of course
00:04:03.68\00:04:05.12
the sun, being out
there, walking out in
00:04:05.15\00:04:07.47
the sun, we've
talked about remember now,
00:04:07.50\00:04:08.87
you want to walk
before 10 and then
00:04:09.17\00:04:10.84
you wanna walk
after, a little on in the
00:04:10.87\00:04:12.43
afternoon when the
sun is not so hot and
00:04:12.46\00:04:14.66
just by walking out
in nature, letting God
00:04:14.69\00:04:16.81
show you flowers and
butterflies and trees
00:04:16.84\00:04:18.88
and seeing how
awesome He is as a
00:04:18.91\00:04:20.62
God, it helps
to temper you down,
00:04:20.65\00:04:23.23
that's right so that
you will feel better when
00:04:23.26\00:04:24.75
you get back, we say the Sun on
00:04:24.78\00:04:27.03
you and the Son of God in you.
00:04:27.06\00:04:28.43
Oh! I see girl,
alright now, Sun on you and
00:04:28.46\00:04:30.56
the Son of God inside
of you okay, absolutely.
00:04:30.59\00:04:32.62
Alright sounds good, so that's
00:04:32.65\00:04:34.32
a brief summary
there. We've got quite a bit
00:04:34.35\00:04:37.94
to cover today
in the program also.
00:04:37.97\00:04:39.34
Yes we do, but
we need to get those
00:04:39.37\00:04:40.74
cholesterol numbers
down. Yeah, we got to get
00:04:40.77\00:04:42.14
them down and one
of the things I want to
00:04:42.17\00:04:43.54
ask you about
Curtis and that is a lot of
00:04:43.57\00:04:45.67
people who have high
cholesterol also get on
00:04:45.70\00:04:48.71
drug medication, so
let's talk a little bit
00:04:48.79\00:04:50.85
about the drug
medications out there
00:04:50.88\00:04:52.59
for lowering cholesterol.
Okay, there are a lot
00:04:52.83\00:04:55.29
of course drug
medications out there
00:04:55.32\00:04:56.75
to lower your cholesterol,
one in particular is
00:04:56.78\00:04:58.93
of course your
statin drugs and that's a
00:04:58.96\00:05:00.53
whole group of the
drugs in that category
00:05:00.56\00:05:02.96
of Zocor, Lipitor, etcetera.
00:05:02.99\00:05:05.52
About 13 million
people are taking
00:05:06.84\00:05:08.91
statin drugs, wow
13 millions and the
00:05:08.94\00:05:11.45
numbers are still counting.
00:05:11.48\00:05:12.88
If you're over 55,
20% of those individuals
00:05:13.79\00:05:16.82
are taking statin
drugs, 20% of those
00:05:17.25\00:05:20.84
who are over 55
years of age so it reeks
00:05:20.87\00:05:23.98
habit because all
medication is going to
00:05:24.01\00:05:26.32
affect the body in
some way or another
00:05:26.35\00:05:28.43
in a negative way
so you are gonna always
00:05:28.46\00:05:30.76
have side effects with that.
00:05:30.79\00:05:32.16
Now, with statin
drugs of course this
00:05:32.39\00:05:33.93
can be a whole
program with statin
00:05:33.96\00:05:35.33
drugs but we are
just gonna mention maybe
00:05:35.36\00:05:37.26
two in
particular. Number one statin
00:05:37.29\00:05:39.52
drugs will deplete coenzyme Q10
00:05:39.55\00:05:43.41
of your body,
now this is not good,
00:05:43.87\00:05:46.12
this is not good
this you know coenzyme
00:05:46.39\00:05:49.03
Q10 is responsible
for pumping action and
00:05:49.06\00:05:51.83
the energy for the
heart muscle itself,
00:05:51.86\00:05:53.66
that's right, and
so when we take the
00:05:53.69\00:05:55.06
statin drugs
this mineral is simply
00:05:55.09\00:05:57.60
depleted, there by
you know there is a catch
00:05:57.63\00:05:59.87
22, you want to try
to increase your cardio
00:05:59.90\00:06:02.82
vascular risk, to
have it at a low eb,
00:06:02.85\00:06:06.70
but yet still the
depletion of coenzyme Q10
00:06:06.73\00:06:10.21
goes down so
another thing that is also
00:06:10.24\00:06:14.14
damaging as far
as statin drugs is
00:06:14.17\00:06:15.71
concerned, it also
affects your liver,
00:06:15.74\00:06:18.05
it inflames the liver
so you have liver disease,
00:06:18.52\00:06:20.63
and those who do
take statin drugs have to
00:06:20.66\00:06:22.60
check their liver
enzymes on a consistent basis,
00:06:22.63\00:06:25.76
to see where they
stand as far as statin
00:06:25.95\00:06:28.22
drugs is
concerned, so the liver is
00:06:28.25\00:06:30.36
compromised and
also coenzyme Q10 is
00:06:30.39\00:06:34.17
compromised as well, just by
00:06:34.20\00:06:35.69
taking the statin drugs.
00:06:35.72\00:06:37.09
Okay, that's not
good, the liver for sure.
00:06:37.54\00:06:39.98
Yeah see
everything, everything goes
00:06:40.01\00:06:42.89
through the liver,
that's why the liver is
00:06:42.92\00:06:45.40
the main organ that
suffers and there's a
00:06:45.43\00:06:46.94
lot of law suits
over statin drugs and
00:06:46.97\00:06:49.65
relationships to
these, the medication for
00:06:49.68\00:06:54.23
lowering cholesterol levels.
00:06:54.97\00:06:56.34
Now believe it or
not, there have been
00:06:56.37\00:06:57.74
people who have
been talked to me about
00:06:57.77\00:06:59.14
having high cholesterol,
and one of the things
00:06:59.17\00:07:00.54
I've recommended
was the thing about
00:07:00.57\00:07:02.21
walking, being out
in nature, cutting back
00:07:02.24\00:07:04.72
on a lot of the
things we have talked about
00:07:04.75\00:07:06.31
right now, and
that is what foods
00:07:06.34\00:07:09.30
raise the
cholesterol. Oh! My goodness,
00:07:09.33\00:07:11.53
okay now we
mentioned this last time we met
00:07:11.56\00:07:14.19
about some of the foods that
00:07:14.22\00:07:15.59
will raise
cholesterol. Number one to be
00:07:15.62\00:07:18.98
very simplistic,
foods that contain
00:07:20.02\00:07:22.98
cholesterol will
raise your cholesterol.
00:07:23.01\00:07:25.64
And that would be, that would be
00:07:26.74\00:07:28.48
anything that
comes from animal or
00:07:29.12\00:07:31.49
anything that
comes from something that
00:07:31.52\00:07:33.62
has a face or a
mother, therefore that includes
00:07:33.65\00:07:38.74
everything that
moves without the aid of
00:07:38.77\00:07:41.82
wind, so that's number
1. So, we need to eliminate
00:07:41.85\00:07:45.97
or really curtail
those foods in particular,
00:07:46.00\00:07:48.43
now another thing
that would raise our
00:07:48.46\00:07:51.21
cholesterol is
foods that contain what we
00:07:51.24\00:07:52.97
call saturated fat.
That will be converted
00:07:53.00\00:07:58.61
into cholesterol
once it is digested,
00:07:58.64\00:08:01.84
now there are three
foods, head and shoulders,
00:08:02.33\00:08:05.09
pound for pound,
ounce for ounce that
00:08:05.86\00:08:08.65
has the most artery clogging,
00:08:08.68\00:08:10.81
saturated fat. Food number 3 is
00:08:11.55\00:08:16.56
whole milk, now
that's going down
00:08:16.59\00:08:18.62
about 210% since
1970 and the people
00:08:18.65\00:08:21.32
now got the word
out about whole milk and
00:08:21.82\00:08:23.76
people buying
1%, 2%, skimmed milk
00:08:23.79\00:08:26.55
and soy milk and so
the word is going out
00:08:26.58\00:08:28.77
about that and people
buying less whole milk,
00:08:28.80\00:08:30.64
but that's food
number 3, that's artery
00:08:30.67\00:08:32.78
clogging
saturated fat. Food number 2
00:08:32.81\00:08:35.26
has the most artery
clogging saturated fat
00:08:36.25\00:08:38.32
other than one
other food is ground beef,
00:08:38.35\00:08:41.74
now ground beef has gone down,
00:08:42.54\00:08:45.07
well ground beef
goes up and down basically
00:08:45.10\00:08:48.77
has gone down
about 30% since 1970,
00:08:48.80\00:08:51.01
you know the
hoof mouth, E coli and
00:08:51.90\00:08:55.44
Mad Cow, it
goes down and then of
00:08:55.47\00:08:57.54
course low carb
diet, high protein diet it
00:08:57.57\00:09:00.79
goes back up
again, so it goes up and
00:09:00.82\00:09:02.46
down, up and down
anyway, that's food
00:09:02.49\00:09:04.32
number 2. And now food number 1,
00:09:04.35\00:09:07.62
ounce for
ounce, pound for pound,
00:09:08.61\00:09:10.71
that has the
most artery clogging
00:09:11.15\00:09:12.85
saturated fat,
and again once we eat
00:09:12.88\00:09:14.98
saturated fat it converts into
00:09:15.01\00:09:17.04
cholesterol is
cheese. Okay, you just hurt
00:09:17.07\00:09:21.72
somebody's feelings.
I sure did and cheese is
00:09:21.75\00:09:25.00
going in an opposite direction,
00:09:25.03\00:09:26.69
145% increase
since 1970, now folks,
00:09:27.44\00:09:34.56
that's the power
of cheese and to boot,
00:09:35.23\00:09:38.42
cheese also has a
high amount of sodium,
00:09:38.80\00:09:41.20
2 to 300 mg per
ounce and sodium also
00:09:41.78\00:09:46.02
stresses out the
kidneys, since kidneys regulate
00:09:46.05\00:09:48.30
sodium potassium
and the blood pressure
00:09:48.33\00:09:49.80
goes up, so it
really affects the whole
00:09:49.83\00:09:51.89
cardiovascular
system. And so cheese,
00:09:51.92\00:09:55.34
ground beef and
whole milk are the
00:09:55.37\00:09:57.55
three top artery
clogging saturated fat.
00:09:57.58\00:10:00.54
Now, in addition to
that there are other
00:10:01.30\00:10:03.15
foods we call
trans fats, and you find
00:10:03.18\00:10:06.30
those foods in your baked goods,
00:10:06.33\00:10:07.70
the cookies and
potato chips and maybe fried
00:10:07.73\00:10:10.29
foods, these are trans fats.
00:10:10.32\00:10:11.97
When trans fats
are eaten and digested,
00:10:12.44\00:10:15.07
those foods also turn
into cholesterol as well.
00:10:15.66\00:10:18.87
So we have the saturated fat,
00:10:19.35\00:10:20.78
then we have the trans fats,
00:10:21.39\00:10:22.76
so those foods are
the major foods that will
00:10:22.79\00:10:25.03
raise cholesterol
levels. So, we need to have
00:10:25.06\00:10:27.72
some foods that
will replace those foods
00:10:27.75\00:10:30.58
and we've done programs without
00:10:30.61\00:10:32.82
cheeses, and
ground beef and also your
00:10:33.18\00:10:36.63
milk that we replaced
those three items right
00:10:36.66\00:10:39.86
there so we can
still have the same type of
00:10:39.89\00:10:41.53
recipes but we
are just exchanging
00:10:41.56\00:10:43.26
now some of the ingredients.
00:10:43.29\00:10:44.66
Well, you know when
it comes to food is all
00:10:45.09\00:10:46.46
about how things
look and their texture and
00:10:46.49\00:10:49.58
their taste, they
feel in the mouth,
00:10:49.61\00:10:51.02
and so indeed, to
be able to, there is so
00:10:51.24\00:10:54.59
much stuff going
on right now as far as
00:10:54.62\00:10:55.99
foods that look like
a mimic, like you got
00:10:56.02\00:10:58.52
finish the ground
beef, they can mock
00:10:58.55\00:11:00.72
chicken and all
kind of spreads matter of
00:11:00.75\00:11:03.71
fact a lot of new
spreads on the market
00:11:03.74\00:11:05.55
right now that is a
lot of options available to
00:11:05.58\00:11:08.04
us now, that's true,
more than ever before.
00:11:08.07\00:11:09.71
I guess the next
question is gonna be
00:11:10.23\00:11:11.60
what foods that would actually
00:11:11.75\00:11:13.12
lower the cholesterol?
Okay, the foods that
00:11:13.15\00:11:15.08
would lower
your cholesterol now,
00:11:15.11\00:11:16.55
I can summarize
this into basically 3
00:11:17.55\00:11:20.56
groups, there are
basically 3 groups of
00:11:20.59\00:11:23.27
foods that would
simply drop your cholesterol.
00:11:23.30\00:11:27.57
Three in
particular, now one, you
00:11:28.24\00:11:30.59
probably may not
have heard of it as
00:11:30.62\00:11:32.84
much as the other two so
I mention this one first.
00:11:32.87\00:11:35.17
The first food what
we call plant sterols,
00:11:35.70\00:11:40.05
now plant sterols,
plants in themselves
00:11:40.74\00:11:42.99
do not contain
cholesterol, right.
00:11:43.48\00:11:45.25
However they do
contain a large waxy
00:11:45.88\00:11:49.47
substance that chemically
is related to cholesterol
00:11:49.50\00:11:55.37
but it does not
contain cholesterol,
00:11:55.86\00:11:57.42
and what happens is
that these foods that
00:11:57.71\00:11:59.92
contain plant
sterols simply once ingested
00:11:59.95\00:12:04.54
they will
inhibit the absorption of
00:12:04.97\00:12:07.79
cholesterol in the intestines,
00:12:07.82\00:12:10.19
thereby cholesterol
is dropped because of
00:12:10.95\00:12:13.97
these foods that
contain plant sterols,
00:12:14.00\00:12:17.46
you probably heard
this and this has been
00:12:17.83\00:12:19.61
researched for
over the last 40 years
00:12:19.64\00:12:23.22
in
Peer-Reviewed Medical Journals
00:12:23.66\00:12:25.35
around the world,
so foods that contain
00:12:25.74\00:12:27.90
plant sterols will
drop the cholesterol in ones
00:12:28.64\00:12:32.33
body, it will drop or
inhibit the absorption
00:12:32.36\00:12:35.18
of cholesterol
in the intestines.
00:12:35.21\00:12:36.58
Now, what are
those foods that contain
00:12:36.61\00:12:39.07
plant sterols?
Let's go to our first
00:12:39.58\00:12:42.31
graphic and let's
see what those foods are.
00:12:42.34\00:12:43.98
Here they are
folks, plant sterols by mg
00:12:44.35\00:12:46.88
amount, the orange
and that's the navel
00:12:46.91\00:12:49.50
orange and they has
20 mg of plant sterols,
00:12:49.53\00:12:52.87
the next we have the almonds,
00:12:53.24\00:12:54.61
and these are dried almonds,
00:12:54.64\00:12:56.01
31 mg of plant
sterols and these are serving
00:12:56.24\00:12:59.53
size of course. The
avocado, the avocado
00:12:59.56\00:13:02.43
has the highest amount of plant
00:13:02.46\00:13:04.85
sterols in all
other food kingdom, a 76,
00:13:04.88\00:13:09.16
it's so high
that the Food and Drug
00:13:09.75\00:13:11.12
Administration call
avocados a functional food.
00:13:11.15\00:13:14.21
And then we have
the seed group category,
00:13:14.63\00:13:16.97
the sunflower
seeds have a whopping 150
00:13:17.21\00:13:21.05
mg of plant sterols,
this is a serving size again.
00:13:21.08\00:13:25.46
And then the last we
have the sesame seeds
00:13:25.81\00:13:28.94
at a whopping 199
mg of plant sterols,
00:13:29.29\00:13:33.95
in the sesame
seeds, again these are
00:13:34.24\00:13:36.00
serving size. So,
that is a array of
00:13:36.03\00:13:38.91
the most prolific
foods that have the
00:13:39.27\00:13:41.39
most plant sterols in them,
00:13:41.42\00:13:43.31
I just selected some
of those, there other
00:13:43.62\00:13:45.52
foods too that I can
mention, but those are
00:13:45.55\00:13:47.91
one of the main
foods that have the plant
00:13:47.94\00:13:49.53
sterols in them and
when they go into our
00:13:49.56\00:13:51.24
system they simply
block the absorption
00:13:51.27\00:13:54.51
of cholesterol
in our intestines.
00:13:54.92\00:13:57.76
Now that's food
group number one.
00:13:58.09\00:13:59.59
Now food group
number two we have
00:14:00.13\00:14:03.31
soluble fiber.
Now, soluble fiber which
00:14:03.76\00:14:08.30
are your oats,
your corn, your legumes
00:14:08.33\00:14:14.03
which are beans and
peas, citrus fruits and apples.
00:14:14.06\00:14:19.52
Those are some of
the most powerful foods
00:14:20.04\00:14:22.72
that have the most
soluble fibers in them.
00:14:22.75\00:14:25.34
Now they work differently
in lowering cholesterol,
00:14:25.80\00:14:28.45
soluble fiber
would simply bind bowl
00:14:29.05\00:14:32.59
acids which would
normally turn into
00:14:32.62\00:14:34.53
cholesterol, thereby
cholesterol is dropped.
00:14:34.56\00:14:37.49
So, they work differently
than the plant sterols,
00:14:37.87\00:14:40.15
so that's the
different mechanism.
00:14:40.18\00:14:42.05
So, soluble fibers
again, your oats, your corn,
00:14:42.08\00:14:46.17
legumes, peas and
beans and your citrus
00:14:46.67\00:14:49.92
fruit and apples.
They would bind the bowel
00:14:49.95\00:14:52.33
source and thereby cholesterol
00:14:52.36\00:14:54.23
is dropped as
well. The third group of
00:14:54.26\00:14:57.01
foods that will
lower your cholesterol in a
00:14:57.04\00:15:00.33
different way
than other two are soy
00:15:00.36\00:15:04.00
proteins or soy
foods. Now soy foods, they
00:15:04.03\00:15:07.56
will lower your
cholesterol by decreasing the
00:15:07.59\00:15:10.83
production that the
liver produce as far as
00:15:10.86\00:15:14.09
cholesterol is
concerned and also they will
00:15:14.12\00:15:16.75
increased the rate
of the LDL cholesterol
00:15:17.28\00:15:20.48
from the liver,
those are the bad guys.
00:15:20.93\00:15:22.64
So they work
differently than the
00:15:22.79\00:15:24.16
other two. So therefore you have
00:15:24.19\00:15:25.85
the three foods
here of food groups,
00:15:25.88\00:15:27.72
your plant
sterols okay, your soluble
00:15:28.37\00:15:31.87
fibers and also
your soy protein.
00:15:31.90\00:15:35.36
Now, The
University of Toronto did a
00:15:35.85\00:15:39.32
clinical study and
they looked at people
00:15:39.35\00:15:42.77
who have high
cholesterol levels they
00:15:42.80\00:15:44.73
put them on a low
fat low cholesterol diet
00:15:44.76\00:15:47.64
and their cholesterol
dropped, but now they
00:15:47.91\00:15:50.95
added to that diet
these three food groups.
00:15:50.98\00:15:54.51
They fed them plant
sterols, lots of soluble
00:15:55.41\00:16:00.18
fiber type foods
and also soy protein and
00:16:00.55\00:16:05.40
let's talk about the
soy protein and how can
00:16:05.43\00:16:07.25
we get soy protein
into the diet before
00:16:07.28\00:16:09.21
we go to our last
graphic. Soy beans themselves,
00:16:09.24\00:16:12.89
okay soy beans,
soy nuts, soy nuts,
00:16:12.92\00:16:15.01
soy flowers, soy
flowers, soy grits,
00:16:15.04\00:16:16.99
soy grits, that's
right okay that maybe a
00:16:17.02\00:16:19.15
new one to, no
you've had it you've had it.
00:16:19.18\00:16:20.86
Yep, well I mean I
was just talking for
00:16:20.89\00:16:22.29
the audience, okay
soy grits all this is are
00:16:22.32\00:16:24.12
in the market
right now and so there is
00:16:24.15\00:16:25.93
lot of products,
what about Tofu is in tofu
00:16:25.96\00:16:27.33
will be in that category?
I don't know, I thought
00:16:27.36\00:16:29.01
to leave the tofu into the end,
00:16:29.04\00:16:31.28
oh okay you just
checking it okay,
00:16:31.31\00:16:32.80
oh yeah, so tofu can
be included, absolutely.
00:16:32.83\00:16:34.92
Okay, TVP and
what's then of course
00:16:35.28\00:16:37.91
yeah, yeah all the
new frozen fruits on the
00:16:37.94\00:16:39.84
market right now
there are substitutes
00:16:39.87\00:16:41.42
for the meat analogues they all
00:16:41.45\00:16:43.10
have the soy
based soy protein as the
00:16:43.13\00:16:45.45
number one then and I think TVP,
00:16:45.71\00:16:47.86
its TVP texture in
vegetable protein and
00:16:49.12\00:16:51.47
then also it is soy
proteins so there is all
00:16:51.50\00:16:54.31
different kind names
but difference between
00:16:54.34\00:16:55.77
the two is once brown, okay,
00:16:55.80\00:16:57.22
to represent ground
beef the other one is a
00:16:57.25\00:16:59.33
beige color to
represent chicken or
00:16:59.36\00:17:01.48
turkey, okay, okay,
okay so there is many
00:17:01.51\00:17:03.80
ways to get in that
soy protein in, many ways
00:17:03.83\00:17:05.80
many ways, okay.
So now they did a
00:17:05.83\00:17:07.58
clinical study in
the University of Toronto
00:17:08.49\00:17:11.05
there a few years
ago and they looked at
00:17:11.08\00:17:13.40
these three food
groups. Now these individuals
00:17:13.75\00:17:16.90
are always on low cholesterol,
00:17:16.93\00:17:18.99
low fat diet and the
cholesterol went down.
00:17:19.02\00:17:21.30
However, they
added to that foods that
00:17:21.87\00:17:24.75
contain soluble
fiber that's one food group
00:17:24.78\00:17:27.99
we talked about that
also plant sterols and
00:17:28.02\00:17:33.18
soy protein to
their diet and they called
00:17:33.54\00:17:37.47
this diet the Portfolio Diet.
00:17:37.50\00:17:40.64
Let's go to our
last graphic and this is
00:17:41.24\00:17:42.94
simply astounding,
they called this the
00:17:42.97\00:17:45.07
Portfolio Diet: The results?
00:17:45.49\00:17:47.25
Total cholesterol
dropped an additional
00:17:47.98\00:17:50.43
22 percent and LDL,
those are the bad guys
00:17:50.88\00:17:55.54
dropped another 29 percent.
00:17:55.88\00:17:59.37
This is simply astounding;
of course this is from
00:17:59.79\00:18:02.06
the medical journal
called in Environmental
00:18:02.09\00:18:03.95
Nutrition 2003.
The researcher Saul
00:18:03.98\00:18:07.26
Kendal, there in
Toronto said that
00:18:07.29\00:18:09.77
those type of
figures, those type of
00:18:10.15\00:18:12.06
percentage one
can expect by taking
00:18:12.09\00:18:15.15
statin drugs. So
this is really astounding
00:18:15.18\00:18:17.74
we called that
the Portfolio Diet and
00:18:18.26\00:18:20.12
I have a new name for
that I called that the
00:18:20.15\00:18:21.93
three amigos, soluble
fiber, soy protein and
00:18:21.96\00:18:28.22
plant sterols, the three amigos.
00:18:28.25\00:18:30.49
Are you out one
missed amigo what
00:18:32.35\00:18:33.82
does that right
there you have, okay, yeah
00:18:33.85\00:18:35.29
I'm gonna show
you just in next few
00:18:35.32\00:18:38.58
seconds, what is
the size of ones artery
00:18:38.61\00:18:43.05
because it's very
astounding because it
00:18:43.08\00:18:45.36
doesn't take much to clog up our
00:18:45.39\00:18:47.86
coronary arteries
or our blood vessels,
00:18:47.89\00:18:49.84
so folks right here
you're looking at the
00:18:49.87\00:18:52.18
size of ones artery
here and again that's
00:18:52.21\00:18:55.48
why sometimes maybe a hamburger,
00:18:55.51\00:18:57.61
a order of
fries or cheeseburger,
00:18:58.21\00:18:59.72
whatever, it can clog
up the arteries and it
00:18:59.75\00:19:02.72
doesn't take much
because they're so
00:19:02.75\00:19:04.12
small that's why
a heart attack is
00:19:04.15\00:19:06.24
eminent and a heart
attack occurs every 32 seconds.
00:19:06.27\00:19:11.97
A stroke about every
58 seconds give or take.
00:19:12.90\00:19:15.79
So that's why it's
very important to really
00:19:16.21\00:19:19.09
consume a plant
based diet the way God
00:19:19.12\00:19:22.10
design in the
first place, that is
00:19:22.13\00:19:24.15
absolutely amazing,
yes it is, absolutely.
00:19:24.18\00:19:26.11
Well, I guess after
that one you're wondering,
00:19:26.57\00:19:28.39
are we going into
the kitchen and the
00:19:28.42\00:19:29.79
answer is yes,
okay. And we are going to
00:19:29.82\00:19:31.34
be fixing an
Eggplant Stir-Fry, get you
00:19:31.37\00:19:34.71
paper and your pencil
and meet us in the kitchen.
