Creating a medical therapy plan for heart disease Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD or CAD) is caused by a buildup of “fatty” material called plaque in the blood vessels that provide crucial oxygen to the heart. Plaque builds up in size leading to a significant, usually more than 70 percent, blockage of the coronary artery. Occasionally the material can rupture, similar to a pimple, and the material under the thin cap will suddenly enter the blood and result in an acute “heart attack”. Cardiovascular disease can lead to both unstable and stable angina, chest pain, ...

Why this 86-year-old biochemist eats no meat Helen Chandler-Wilde Share Over the past 50 years, a war has been waged over nutrition. On one side are low-carb diets like Atkins or keto, which argue that starches and sugars are the cause of weight gain and bad health. On the other are low-fat diets which say that we should cut out foods like nuts and red meat, and healthy carbohydrates are completely fine.

A growing number, however, are choosing a plant-based diet that focuses on foods that come from plants, but may still include animal products, such as meat or cheese. American biochemist Thomas Colin Campbell coined the term “plant-based” in the 1980s to better explain his research on diet and nutrition. The term surged in popularity in 2016 when Campbell’s book Since then, plant-based foods hav...

You do everything you can to avoid catching the coronavirus: Social distancing, mask wearing and hand washing till you never want to hear HBD in your head again. But sometimes luck doesn't roll your way and despite all your precautions, someone you've been around texts you and tells you they have the virus. Ugh. Now what? We asked doctors for their best advice, and here, along with quarantining to not potentially spread the coronavirus (since even if you're asymptomatic, you could harbor and spread it to others) doctors advise that you eat a plant-based diet. Not because it prevents you from ...
