Chicago, Illinois September 23, 2006. The heart failure was produced
strictly by feeding the monkey a high fat/high cholesterol diet.
The
diet was very much like what many Americans consume every day. They
called it SuperMarket Food. It was about 42 percent fat and about a 50th
of an ounce of cholesterol per day. After two years on the diet the
monkey had developed the characteristic yellow outcroppings (called
xanthomas) on his skin, which showed that its atherosclerosis was
already well developed.
After two and a half years of feeding, the
fatal heart attack happened. The attack was massive, involving about
half of his left heart muscle. The heart and the coronary arteries
looked just like a human heart looks after such an attack.”
The
heart showed many areas of cell death, and the arteries were filled with
plaques. It should be pointed out that rhesus monkeys do not have heart
attacks under normal circumstances. On ordinary “monkey chow,” a rhesus
monkey will never have a heart attack.
There are implications for
pre- and early 2 Diabetics. Some have found help with these kinds of
natural exercise and eating.
Risk of Diabetes in the USA is greater
than ever today, and complications from the killer degenerative diseases
like, heart disease, atherosclerosis, cerebrovascular disease (stroke)
and arterial hypertension are greater than ever also. We are relearning
that “The bottom line to holding in check the degenerative diseases can
be boiled down to five words: Stay lean and stay active”
It
appears that there is hope for all including those with pre- and early
type 2. While we humans do not eat “monkey chow” we should eat the Good
Foods, the “Longevity Foods.”
Talk with your nutritionist and
discover these foods. There is a Treasury of easy to identify healthy,
Longevity Foods just sitting in the Supermarket just saying “Pick
me-Pick me.”
