FAQ 1

High blood Pressure

Q:
I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol! What CAN I eat? I have been checking nutrition labels and if something is low in say fat, then it is high in sodium. I admit that I eat all the wrong things now. I need to get my weight down and then I feel all those other problems will get under control. Help Please! Patient

Eat fewer processed, packaged, and canned foods. Chose fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Eat less saturated fat from red meat and chose low fat meats and eat fish. Don't deep fry your foods. For cooking, Sunflower, corn oil or olive oil. Stay away from sugary foods and highly processed white flour products like white bread and pasta. Choose whole grains instead to make sure you get nutrients and fiber.

FAQ 2

A complication of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Q:
Can IBS cause pancreatitis? I had three weeks of severe abdominal bloating and pain and then an X-ray revealed that I had pancreatitis. My doctor told me to stop eating dairy and eat less fiber. I feel better, but still nauseous, bloated, and have pain in my upper abdomen. I have been out of the hospital for four weeks now, on a bland diet, and still feel sick. What should I eat?

IBS, also known as irritable bowel syndrome, does not cause pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas, an organ that secretes proteins that are important for the breakdown of nutrients and the metabolism of sugar. The most common causes of pancreatitis include gallstones, alcohol and certain specific medications. If gallstones are the cause, then the gallbladder should be removed by an operation called a cholecystectomy. If alcohol consumption is the cause, then alcohol should be completely avoided. Some patients have evidence of chronic pancreatitis with their first episode; such evidence includes calcifications of the pancreas on X-ray. Chronic pancreatitis is often much more difficult to treat than acute pancreatitis; episodes of pain take much longer to improve. In addition to a bland, low-fat diet, pancreatic enzymes taken before each meal often help the pain and bloating in pancreatitis and also aids in the digestion of food. See your Gastro-entologist for more information

FAQ 3

Q:


I eat right and exercise but I can't seem to lose weight. What am I doing wrong?


There could be several things holding you back from seeing the leaner look, or lower weight you are aiming for. First, it's possible that you may be eating too many calories, even though you eat healthfully. I have seen many people over the years eat very healthfully, but because they eat more calories than it takes to support a lower body weight, they don't lose weight. Or, it could be the timing of your intake; do you skip meals or go many hours without eating? My advice for finding out your calorie needs and the number of servings you should be eating per day from each food group is to log onto the free web site www.xenihealth.com. If your body fat is higher than ideal, maintaining your activity level and optimising your diet should give you the results you're looking for. Otherwise, visit Xenihealth for a personlized weight loss Plan.
