The doctor wants to put
me on cholesterol lowering
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.35
medication; I just
don't really want to go there.
00:00:03.38\00:00:05.45
Is there any help for
me, all the side effects
00:00:05.72\00:00:08.25
and the cost? Today's
program is just for you
00:00:08.28\00:00:10.79
entitled
Controlling Cholesterol,
00:00:10.82\00:00:13.12
we will be right back.
00:00:13.15\00:00:14.52
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living,
00:00:40.23\00:00:41.60
this is Curtis
Eakins your co-host
00:00:41.63\00:00:43.55
and I would like to introduce
00:00:43.58\00:00:44.95
my beautiful bride of 16
glorious wonderful years.
00:00:44.98\00:00:49.02
Paula Eakins, I, I
thought you're going to,
00:00:50.93\00:00:54.63
you're so busy
getting those years
00:00:54.66\00:00:56.70
in you forgot my name.
00:00:56.73\00:00:58.39
No, I didn't forget your name;
00:00:58.42\00:00:59.79
I just want to hear
your voice. Okay. Yeah,
00:00:59.82\00:01:01.84
I should know your name,
00:01:01.87\00:01:03.24
we've been married 16 years,
00:01:03.27\00:01:04.64
wonderful years, hasn't it been?
00:01:04.67\00:01:06.04
Absolutely, absolutely what?
00:01:06.07\00:01:07.44
Controlling cholesterol,
oh okay, you shift gears,
00:01:07.47\00:01:10.88
absolutely
controlling cholesterol, I guess
00:01:10.91\00:01:12.89
that will be what we
talk about. Before we go into
00:01:12.92\00:01:14.69
this topic folks again,
as I have mentioned before
00:01:14.72\00:01:16.83
if I didn't mentioned
before in our last program.
00:01:16.86\00:01:18.49
This is part of
clean heart series,
00:01:18.94\00:01:22.19
several programs
dealing with not just
00:01:22.95\00:01:24.63
the heart being
clean, but the arteries
00:01:24.66\00:01:26.52
and cholesterol,
blood pressure, etc.
00:01:26.55\00:01:28.62
So, this is part of
the clean heart series
00:01:28.65\00:01:30.92
we're doing and
this program is entitled
00:01:30.95\00:01:33.20
of course
Controlling Cholesterol.
00:01:33.23\00:01:34.92
I wanted to start off by
00:01:35.62\00:01:38.16
a lot ask the question you know,
00:01:38.19\00:01:39.56
taking about cholesterol
and meats and everything.
00:01:39.59\00:01:41.51
That's true. What
exactly is cholesterol and,
00:01:41.54\00:01:45.52
and why is it important?
00:01:45.55\00:01:46.92
Okay, well cholesterol
is important you know,
00:01:46.95\00:01:48.92
the sometimes cholesterol
has gotten a bad rap.
00:01:48.95\00:01:50.94
You know,
cholesterol is bad, fat is bad.
00:01:50.97\00:01:54.45
Well,
cholesterol is really good,
00:01:54.48\00:01:55.85
fat is really good we
need certain types of fat too.
00:01:56.33\00:01:59.09
Cholesterol is a
yellow waxy substance
00:01:59.52\00:02:02.23
found naturally
in the bloodstream
00:02:02.26\00:02:04.18
and basically
cholesterol is used for cell
00:02:04.21\00:02:08.33
membrane for organ development,
00:02:08.81\00:02:11.02
a sex hormones and body
00:02:11.50\00:02:13.21
energy process of vitamin D.
00:02:13.24\00:02:15.67
So, you see
cholesterol is very vital
00:02:15.70\00:02:18.38
for the body function,
00:02:18.41\00:02:20.77
from day-to-day bases.
So, we really need cholesterol
00:02:20.80\00:02:23.33
and it's important to the
function of our daily lives.
00:02:23.82\00:02:27.00
So, the body is
actually making it,
00:02:27.55\00:02:29.12
evidently from what
you're saying because
00:02:29.15\00:02:30.52
that's a lot of
things it is doing.
00:02:30.55\00:02:32.08
Yeah, well you know, you
always have a text that says,
00:02:32.11\00:02:35.33
we're fearfully,
wonderfully made,
00:02:35.36\00:02:37.17
okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so with that in mind
00:02:37.20\00:02:38.75
we will talk more
about how what organ
00:02:38.78\00:02:41.80
of our body
actually makes cholesterol.
00:02:41.83\00:02:43.80
Well, I didn't really say it,
00:02:44.35\00:02:45.77
David said it in Psalms.
00:02:45.80\00:02:47.47
Yeah, well you
repeat what David said.
00:02:47.50\00:02:50.10
Absolutely, yeah
absolutely okay, okay,
00:02:50.13\00:02:51.91
they understood that.
00:02:51.94\00:02:53.31
Okay, okay now, now
time for cholesterol
00:02:53.34\00:02:54.78
screening going
in to have to your
00:02:54.81\00:02:56.18
cholesterol
checked. What should we do
00:02:56.21\00:02:58.61
before we have our
cholesterol checked?
00:02:58.64\00:03:00.42
Okay, well number one,
00:03:00.45\00:03:02.15
when you have your
cholesterol checked
00:03:02.18\00:03:03.55
the certain things
that needs to be done
00:03:03.58\00:03:05.08
to make sure you
have an accurate reading.
00:03:05.11\00:03:07.21
Number one no
coffee or alcohol or tea
00:03:07.24\00:03:11.22
at least 48
hours before you have
00:03:11.25\00:03:13.29
your cholesterol
checked, alright.
00:03:13.32\00:03:14.97
Okay, quite frankly
00:03:15.76\00:03:17.13
shouldn't be no
alcohol period, you know,
00:03:17.16\00:03:18.82
whether you are having
cholesterol checked or not.
00:03:18.85\00:03:21.10
You know, no alcohol, Uhum!
00:03:21.13\00:03:22.94
Or tea that's
caffeinated tea. So,
00:03:22.97\00:03:25.25
but particularly for
those who maybe doing that
00:03:25.28\00:03:27.81
because you want to
curtail that at least
00:03:28.24\00:03:29.61
two days before
your cholesterol.
00:03:30.52\00:03:32.46
Otherwise you'll
have a false positive.
00:03:32.49\00:03:34.78
Also there are certain
things that will increase
00:03:35.53\00:03:37.97
ones cholesterol, pregnancy,
00:03:38.00\00:03:40.43
birth control
pills, beta-blockers was a
00:03:40.87\00:03:44.38
type of a blood
pressure medication,
00:03:44.41\00:03:46.23
taking vitamin D,
steroids, all of these
00:03:46.63\00:03:50.89
things will raise
ones cholesterol. So,
00:03:50.92\00:03:53.08
medication you want to
lay off your medications
00:03:53.11\00:03:55.93
for at least two days
as well because that will
00:03:55.96\00:03:58.58
also give your cholesterol
a positive high number.
00:03:58.61\00:04:01.37
And keep in mind that
00:04:01.89\00:04:03.39
your cholesterol is basically,
00:04:03.42\00:04:04.88
you have your
cholesterol screening check;
00:04:06.11\00:04:08.46
it's based on the last
seven days of eating. So,
00:04:08.49\00:04:12.46
if you know, you don't
have your cholesterol checked
00:04:12.49\00:04:14.06
and so you wanna
have a good number
00:04:14.96\00:04:17.04
then eat a
healthy plant based diet
00:04:17.75\00:04:21.33
for the next seven days,
00:04:21.84\00:04:24.42
God's original diet, and
then get your cholesterol
00:04:25.24\00:04:28.34
done and you will be amazed
00:04:28.37\00:04:29.92
and that's really
proof in the pudding
00:04:29.95\00:04:31.57
where God's original diet,
00:04:31.60\00:04:33.44
which is a cholesterol free diet
00:04:33.47\00:04:35.19
and also impacts the
overall cholesterol as well.
00:04:35.73\00:04:37.89
Now, go ahead.
00:04:38.46\00:04:39.83
Now, now I'll gonna
say, okay and you said,
00:04:39.86\00:04:41.55
last seven days before you know
00:04:41.58\00:04:44.03
and get your cholesterol done
00:04:44.06\00:04:45.43
and just to go ahead
and eat a plant based diet
00:04:45.46\00:04:47.69
and then of course
after this over I guess
00:04:47.72\00:04:49.91
you back to the
normalcy. No, no, no, no, no.
00:04:49.94\00:04:52.15
It doesn't mean that No, I could
00:04:52.18\00:04:54.11
see it, not just an
email coming from that way too.
00:04:54.14\00:04:55.51
I can see it
too, I can see it too
00:04:55.54\00:04:56.91
because that's
gonna be the true amount,
00:04:56.94\00:04:58.31
what's going on
is that we know that,
00:04:58.47\00:04:59.84
it shows you within seven days,
00:04:59.87\00:05:02.54
time frame, if you are
doing the plant based diet,
00:05:02.57\00:05:05.28
you can see a difference
in your overall cholesterol,
00:05:05.31\00:05:08.07
simply because of it. So,
00:05:08.10\00:05:09.47
why not continue
to do here. Right,
00:05:09.50\00:05:10.87
and that's the
proof in the pudding
00:05:10.90\00:05:12.27
just let people know that wow!
00:05:12.30\00:05:14.01
It can happen
in just seven days,
00:05:14.04\00:05:15.65
so therefore,
yeah, lifelong diet,
00:05:15.68\00:05:18.52
excuse me;
dietary plan will help
00:05:18.55\00:05:20.19
keep the cholesterol at bay.
00:05:20.22\00:05:21.68
And what about
those, ranges as far as
00:05:21.71\00:05:23.70
what's the range when
we talk about cholesterol
00:05:23.73\00:05:27.05
as far as low or
moving into medium or high,
00:05:27.08\00:05:30.09
what are those ranges.
00:05:30.12\00:05:31.49
Okay, let's
first go to the graphic
00:05:31.79\00:05:33.80
there is a chart as far
as cholesterol is concerned
00:05:33.83\00:05:36.00
and also the risk of
coronary heart disease
00:05:36.03\00:05:38.28
with a scale. You see
there on the screen now,
00:05:38.31\00:05:40.66
the blue represents the men
00:05:40.69\00:05:42.53
and orange are
represents the women.
00:05:42.56\00:05:44.84
Now as you see
there at the far right,
00:05:44.87\00:05:47.04
our cholesterol
that's over 239 I believe,
00:05:47.07\00:05:50.66
of course the
higher the cholesterol
00:05:50.69\00:05:52.92
the higher the
coronary heart disease risk is
00:05:53.68\00:05:57.10
and so with that in
mind you see men there over
00:05:57.13\00:06:00.02
239 and you have a risk
of a coronary disease risk,
00:06:00.05\00:06:03.82
let's say what
55 percent I believe
00:06:04.53\00:06:06.52
and of course now
the lower the cholesterol
00:06:06.55\00:06:08.80
your risk of getting any type of
00:06:09.42\00:06:11.19
coronary heart disease
event is reduced as well,
00:06:11.22\00:06:14.25
but now the good
thing about this is that
00:06:15.01\00:06:17.77
when you see the cholesterol
00:06:17.80\00:06:19.17
is less than 200
the blue for the men
00:06:19.20\00:06:21.58
is to over 30 percent of
00:06:21.61\00:06:23.18
coronary heart disease risk,
00:06:23.21\00:06:24.86
and women is about 15 percent.
00:06:24.89\00:06:26.77
So, again thank
you for the graphic,
00:06:27.35\00:06:29.02
so the point of
this is that the higher
00:06:29.05\00:06:31.08
the total cholesterol,
the higher the coronary
00:06:31.11\00:06:34.15
heart disease risk is there
00:06:34.18\00:06:36.99
and so with that
in mind we suggest
00:06:37.02\00:06:39.48
that the magic number
for total cholesterol is 150.
00:06:40.11\00:06:44.30
This is based on
the Framingham study
00:06:44.33\00:06:46.35
several years ago. No one
has had any coronary already,
00:06:46.38\00:06:49.50
Oh! Coronary heart disease event
00:06:49.53\00:06:52.10
with their total cholesterol
00:06:52.13\00:06:53.50
are below 150. And
so with that in mind
00:06:53.53\00:06:56.79
we're looking
at the 150 or below
00:06:56.82\00:06:59.29
now of course you have
your cholesterol checked
00:06:59.32\00:07:00.88
sometime ago and
yours was below 150.
00:07:00.91\00:07:03.94
Below yeah, below 150,
I try to make sure of it
00:07:03.97\00:07:06.92
I don't get myself
I worked up especially
00:07:07.48\00:07:09.45
stressed out or
anything like that, so,
00:07:09.48\00:07:10.94
that's right, along with the,
00:07:10.97\00:07:12.34
the eating habits, exercise
00:07:12.37\00:07:14.74
I was really glad to
see it was below 150.
00:07:14.77\00:07:17.05
Yeah, and myself
was to above, below 150
00:07:17.08\00:07:19.53
and that's what we
want folks the total
00:07:19.56\00:07:21.13
cholesterol and
now with that in mind
00:07:21.16\00:07:22.79
that's not the only
number that we concerned about.
00:07:22.82\00:07:25.28
There are some
components to make up
00:07:25.31\00:07:27.03
the total
cholesterol, let's talk about
00:07:27.06\00:07:28.43
that the LDL, HDL and
let's talk about those.
00:07:28.46\00:07:30.75
You know, lot
of time when people
00:07:30.78\00:07:32.15
go to the health fair,
00:07:32.18\00:07:33.55
they do an overall score
00:07:33.58\00:07:34.95
and I always say to
them you know that overall
00:07:34.98\00:07:36.35
score is not really a
good score because basically
00:07:36.38\00:07:39.00
as you said
before when you've gone
00:07:39.03\00:07:40.40
to a health fair, you
are kind of running around,
00:07:40.43\00:07:42.20
your eating things,
and of course you're gonna
00:07:42.23\00:07:44.24
take on take your blood
00:07:44.27\00:07:45.64
and then you're
going to tell you comeback.
00:07:45.67\00:07:47.04
Okay. A lot of times
the score is gonna be higher
00:07:47.07\00:07:49.07
than what it really should be,
00:07:49.10\00:07:50.54
so it's always good to
know what those numbers are,
00:07:50.57\00:07:53.09
I always say, you want the whole
00:07:53.12\00:07:54.49
total blood panel done,
00:07:54.52\00:07:56.12
when you go to your doctor,
00:07:56.15\00:07:57.52
you want to
have the whole panel,
00:07:57.55\00:07:58.92
the panel is
that you get your HDL,
00:07:58.95\00:08:01.15
which are to
guys, you get your LDL
00:08:01.18\00:08:03.79
elevated high
density lipoprotein is HDL
00:08:03.82\00:08:07.22
that's the good one
that's what you want
00:08:07.25\00:08:08.71
to have a high number,
00:08:08.74\00:08:10.11
the LDL low density lipoproteins
00:08:10.14\00:08:12.13
that's gonna be we want
that number below hundred,
00:08:12.16\00:08:14.63
you're going to have
your VLDL well that's gonna be
00:08:14.66\00:08:17.02
even lower still as far
as too much cholesterol,
00:08:17.05\00:08:20.48
too much oil in the system
00:08:20.51\00:08:21.88
and then you're gonna
have your triglycerides.
00:08:21.91\00:08:23.51
Now, triglycerides
basically all your foods
00:08:23.54\00:08:26.35
have some type of
high triglycerides base,
00:08:26.38\00:08:28.77
it's just
chemically meaning that
00:08:28.80\00:08:30.80
there is some type
of an oil chemically
00:08:30.83\00:08:33.61
that that's in
each one of the fruits
00:08:33.64\00:08:35.42
and vegetables,
grains, and whatever.
00:08:35.45\00:08:37.25
And so, but you want to look at
00:08:37.28\00:08:38.97
you want to get
that HDL level up
00:08:39.00\00:08:40.53
and it is not
just the foods you eat,
00:08:40.56\00:08:42.25
there is another
way of getting it down,
00:08:42.28\00:08:43.65
which is also a part
of our exercise as well.
00:08:43.68\00:08:46.45
Okay, component to it, so
00:08:46.97\00:08:48.34
you want to get those scores,
00:08:48.37\00:08:49.74
now you wanted to know
with that overall scores,
00:08:49.77\00:08:51.17
it's not just the one score.
00:08:51.20\00:08:52.77
Good point too and I
think in our work book we have
00:08:53.33\00:08:55.88
some numbers HDL
the healthy above 60,
00:08:55.91\00:08:59.53
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and LDL,
00:08:59.56\00:09:00.99
L allows the below hundred,
00:09:01.02\00:09:03.40
so those scores are there and,
00:09:03.43\00:09:05.28
and also the cholesterol ratio,
00:09:05.31\00:09:07.18
which is the
cholesterol divided by the HDL,
00:09:07.73\00:09:10.50
right, right,
right. For instance
00:09:10.99\00:09:12.36
if your total
cholesterol let's say 200,
00:09:12.39\00:09:14.34
the HDL is 50 then
your cholesterol ratio is 4,
00:09:14.97\00:09:18.40
you want your
cholesterol ratio below 3.5.
00:09:19.13\00:09:21.69
And lot of times
though on some blood lipid
00:09:22.22\00:09:24.46
or profiles that have the
cholesterol ratio as well.
00:09:24.49\00:09:26.87
Well, let's just talk
about some cholesterol sources.
00:09:27.42\00:09:29.89
Okay, they're basically
two sources of cholesterol,
00:09:30.60\00:09:33.58
let's go to the
screen, look at these
00:09:33.61\00:09:34.98
two sources of cholesterol.
00:09:35.01\00:09:36.38
First you have the liver again
00:09:36.49\00:09:37.89
with fearfully wonderfully made,
00:09:37.92\00:09:39.31
so God designed
the liver, the organ
00:09:39.87\00:09:42.47
to produce all the cholesterol
00:09:43.02\00:09:45.26
that the body needs,
about 1000 milligrams per day,
00:09:45.29\00:09:48.39
therefore we don't
really necessary have to eat.
00:09:49.03\00:09:51.27
Cholesterol in our food because
00:09:51.74\00:09:53.74
the liver does everything we,
00:09:53.77\00:09:55.92
we need as far as
cholesterol is concerned,
00:09:55.95\00:09:58.38
okay, but again
with the egg there
00:09:58.41\00:10:00.12
is what about 240 milligrams of
00:10:00.15\00:10:02.63
cholesterol in
egg, yes, a minimum egg.
00:10:02.66\00:10:04.47
And cheese burger, and hotdogs,
00:10:05.11\00:10:08.87
baloney, and
chicken and pork all these
00:10:08.90\00:10:11.44
add more
cholesterol to the body.
00:10:11.47\00:10:14.33
Yeah. Now, the point of
is that your cholesterol
00:10:14.36\00:10:17.39
the liver is only
responsible for about
00:10:17.42\00:10:20.47
a 80 percent of cholesterol,
00:10:20.50\00:10:21.87
the food is about 20 percent.
00:10:21.90\00:10:23.27
Now, the more
cholesterol we eat,
00:10:23.59\00:10:26.11
the less the liver makes.
00:10:26.70\00:10:28.48
It kind of
balances itself, alright,
00:10:29.24\00:10:31.10
so or again to lower
cholesterol one thing
00:10:31.13\00:10:34.22
is no to eat cholesterol,
but that's not the only thing
00:10:34.25\00:10:37.20
to, because some people do have
00:10:37.23\00:10:38.74
Coronary Artery
Disease or heart disease risk
00:10:38.77\00:10:41.24
and they have a low cholesterol.
00:10:41.27\00:10:42.88
So, but in a way
the point is the,
00:10:43.36\00:10:44.98
that the higher cholesterol,
00:10:45.01\00:10:46.38
the higher the
Coronary Artery Disease risk.
00:10:46.41\00:10:49.45
Well, I know but
lot of times when
00:10:49.99\00:10:52.37
people talk about cholesterol
00:10:52.40\00:10:53.77
and they got a high cholesterol,
00:10:53.80\00:10:55.70
they have been begin
to say with your doctors
00:10:56.20\00:10:58.16
wanna put them on Statin drugs.
00:10:58.19\00:10:59.83
Okay. So, talk to us about
00:10:59.86\00:11:01.57
Statin drugs what are they?
00:11:01.60\00:11:03.15
Okay, Statin drugs
now there can be a whole
00:11:03.18\00:11:05.75
program just on Statin drugs
00:11:05.78\00:11:07.15
about 13 million
people are taking Statin drugs
00:11:07.52\00:11:09.64
all the time and
so some other things
00:11:10.04\00:11:12.87
about Statin drugs is that,
00:11:12.90\00:11:14.27
these are drugs that
will lower cholesterol
00:11:14.30\00:11:16.04
too many things. Number one,
00:11:16.56\00:11:18.66
Statin drugs
will make the muscles
00:11:19.12\00:11:22.76
break down the tissue,
00:11:22.79\00:11:24.44
muscle tissue break down
00:11:25.07\00:11:26.44
and with that in mind it
stresses out the kidneys.
00:11:26.47\00:11:29.40
And this has been
several reports of
00:11:29.89\00:11:31.84
that reports to the food
00:11:31.87\00:11:34.41
and drug administration
as far as 60 deaths
00:11:34.44\00:11:37.80
by one Statin drug that
was removed from the shelf
00:11:37.83\00:11:40.97
from the market and in a
ten years span some 3,300
00:11:41.00\00:11:45.41
reported diseases due to muscle
00:11:45.44\00:11:48.44
tissue breaking
down of Statin drugs.
00:11:48.47\00:11:50.92
That's one thing and
another thing is that
00:11:50.95\00:11:54.53
Statin drugs were
also impair one's memory
00:11:54.56\00:11:57.76
and so with that in mind
you have short term memory
00:11:58.53\00:12:01.61
and you don't
remember as much as you used to
00:12:01.64\00:12:04.44
and so Statin drugs
were also adopted as well.
00:12:04.47\00:12:07.14
It also depletes coenzyme Q10
00:12:07.17\00:12:10.23
that is used and
necessary for the heart
00:12:10.67\00:12:13.09
function to beat properly.
00:12:13.12\00:12:14.81
So, even though Statin
drugs do lower cholesterol,
00:12:14.84\00:12:17.48
this a healthy
price that people pay
00:12:17.51\00:12:20.69
and taking Statin drugs.
00:12:20.72\00:12:22.35
Now, I'm seen those commercials
00:12:22.81\00:12:24.26
and I have see them bring more
00:12:24.29\00:12:25.78
and the next thing end
of the day, take it over TV
00:12:25.81\00:12:28.36
as fast as they put them on,
00:12:28.39\00:12:29.76
but when we start
talking about the side effects
00:12:29.79\00:12:31.20
that get very, very scary.
00:12:31.23\00:12:32.66
Yeah. There is another
word out there and that
00:12:32.69\00:12:34.40
words about the portfolio diet.
00:12:34.43\00:12:36.01
What is the portfolio diet?
00:12:36.04\00:12:38.04
Okay and we have heard that
00:12:38.07\00:12:39.44
before the portfolio diet,
00:12:39.47\00:12:40.84
this is huge research in
00:12:40.87\00:12:43.11
University of Toronto in Canada,
00:12:43.14\00:12:44.72
Dr. Jenkins and
his group researchers
00:12:44.75\00:12:46.65
they looked at all
the Statin drugs out there
00:12:46.68\00:12:49.32
and realize that Statin drugs
00:12:49.35\00:12:50.73
it can lower cholesterol, but
00:12:50.76\00:12:52.49
it baleful side
effects that comes with that.
00:12:52.52\00:12:55.96
So, they decide to
look at certain foods
00:12:56.43\00:12:58.84
that were simply
lower cholesterol
00:12:59.27\00:13:01.54
without the side
effects and what they had
00:13:01.57\00:13:03.52
discovered that there are
00:13:03.55\00:13:04.95
four basic food components.
00:13:04.98\00:13:07.15
Let's go to the screen,
00:13:07.18\00:13:08.55
let's see what
these four components are,
00:13:08.58\00:13:09.95
her it is. We call
this the portfolio diet
00:13:09.98\00:13:12.58
and it says here.
"Four dietary components,
00:13:12.61\00:13:17.23
has proved to be as effective
00:13:17.70\00:13:20.00
as Statin medication,
00:13:20.03\00:13:22.55
there are viscous
fiber, the soluble fiber,
00:13:23.01\00:13:26.99
vegetable
protein, soy in particular,
00:13:27.66\00:13:31.18
plant sterols and nuts."
00:13:31.98\00:13:35.43
Those four right there and,
00:13:35.91\00:13:38.36
and I but we tell
you how each one of
00:13:38.39\00:13:40.72
those with lower cholesterol,
00:13:40.75\00:13:42.54
alright and so this was
fiber will bind bow salt
00:13:42.57\00:13:47.17
that were normally
convert into cholesterols
00:13:47.20\00:13:49.18
and that's how this was fiber
00:13:49.21\00:13:50.58
can lower cholesterol.
00:13:50.61\00:13:51.98
And the, the vegetable
protein soya in particular,
00:13:52.01\00:13:55.20
it will inhibit liver
from reducing cholesterol,
00:13:55.70\00:14:00.59
and reduces rate of production.
00:14:00.62\00:14:02.33
The plant sterols
were inhibit absorption
00:14:02.94\00:14:05.91
or cholesterol
in the intestines.
00:14:05.94\00:14:08.04
So, each one of those groups
00:14:08.07\00:14:09.54
lowers cholesterol
in a different way,
00:14:09.57\00:14:11.87
you put them
together in a meal plan
00:14:12.49\00:14:15.47
and that's why
they called it the
00:14:15.50\00:14:17.05
the portfolio diet, it's like
00:14:17.08\00:14:19.10
stocks in a
portfolio. So, portfolio diet
00:14:19.13\00:14:23.00
all in one meal and
they have been shown to
00:14:23.03\00:14:25.40
lower cholesterol
just as effectively as
00:14:25.43\00:14:30.09
Statin drugs within about
00:14:30.12\00:14:32.34
two to three weeks, alright.
00:14:32.37\00:14:35.10
So, portfolio diet it's
a wonderful diet out there
00:14:35.13\00:14:38.20
and it's really
again if you look at honey
00:14:38.23\00:14:40.42
is based on man's original diet.
00:14:40.45\00:14:42.15
Because there is no
animal products at all,
00:14:42.67\00:14:44.80
yeah, and the nut foods
one other main nuts used in
00:14:44.83\00:14:47.37
that diet too is the almond,
00:14:47.40\00:14:49.05
almonds help to
dilate the coronary arteries
00:14:49.52\00:14:53.07
and also the walnuts
help to relax the vessels.
00:14:53.58\00:14:57.22
So, thereby it does not only
00:14:57.25\00:14:59.35
lowers
cholesterol that not keen down
00:14:59.38\00:15:01.19
it also lowers blood pressure,
00:15:01.22\00:15:03.54
so it's
wonderful. Well, you know,
00:15:04.04\00:15:05.76
once again God knew
what he was doing, yes,
00:15:05.79\00:15:07.74
in the very first
book of the Bible Genesis
00:15:07.77\00:15:09.78
and God spoke about
the diet for mankind
00:15:09.81\00:15:11.73
and when you think about that,
00:15:12.20\00:15:13.57
think about the
foods that are good for us
00:15:13.60\00:15:16.34
to take into our
bodies. There is a recipe that
00:15:16.37\00:15:19.22
I'm going to be
doing today. Okay.
00:15:19.25\00:15:20.65
And this recipe believe or not
00:15:20.68\00:15:22.68
a lot of things you
mentioned the, the meats
00:15:22.71\00:15:24.88
and everything that is there,
00:15:24.91\00:15:26.28
no they are not gonna
be in this recipe however,
00:15:26.31\00:15:28.20
it is a recipe that
called easy lasagna that
00:15:28.23\00:15:31.64
a lot of people like
because of all the cheese
00:15:31.67\00:15:33.93
and the meat and
all that's in there.
00:15:33.96\00:15:35.49
We're going into the kitchen
00:15:35.52\00:15:36.89
and we're going
to do easy lasagna
00:15:36.92\00:15:38.29
and no where we're not
using any meat, no milk,
00:15:38.41\00:15:40.58
no egg, no cheese you
have to get your pencil
00:15:40.61\00:15:43.73
and meet us in the kitchen.
00:15:43.76\00:15:45.71
