7 Vital Nutrients You're Not Getting and How to Stop Sabotaging Your HealthNu U Nutrition
Guest nutritionist Carmela Pengelly shares insights on the 7 nutrients many people don't get enough of and how to stop doing things that may sabotage your health without you realizing.
From 3/14 De Pere at Dawn, Healthy Living for Spring, Prevea dietician Deb Guenterberg presented on "Super Foods" -- how many do you include in your diet?
From Diabetes to Cancer and all other auto-immune diseases, there is one cause. Its leaky gut. It is caused by abuse of small intestine by modern food system and lifestyle. The “net” in your digestive tract gets damaged!
This allows unwanted proteins (like gluten), bad bacteria, toxins and undigested particles to pass into your blood stream. Then it leads systemic inflammation and an auto-immune reaction over time.
The new food guide is the plate method. Used for years to simply recommendations for healthy eating, it is now the most upto date guide for the American meal planning guide. Emphasis is on whole grain, lean meats, fruits and vegetables consumed in small portions with dairy options such as yogurt, low fat milk and cheese. Simple in design yet effective if the consumer remembers to keep half the plate veggies with fruit and the other half with whole grains and lean meats such as seafood, beans, tofu, poultry or lean cuts of beef or pork.

Vegans eat no meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or dairy products. While there is a considerable advantage to a lacto-ovo vegetarian pattern, vegan diets are the most healthful of all, reducing risk of a broad range of health concerns.

Hamdard Laboratories (India), is a Unani pharmaceutical company in India (following the independence of India from Britain, "Hamdard" Unani branches were established in Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and Pakistan). It was established in 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in Delhi, and became
a waqf (non-profitable trust) in 1948. It is associated with Hamdard Foundation, a charitable educational trust.
Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
The goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him.
They had always maintained that working in old, traditional ways would not be entirely fruitful. A broader outlook was essential for a continued and meaningful existence. their effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place and thus they made an entry into an expansive world of discovery and research.
Hamdard Laboratories was founded in 1906 in Delhi by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and Ansarullah Tabani, a Unani practitioner. The name Hamdard means "companion in suffering" in Urdu language.(itself borrowed from Persian) Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed was born in Pilibhit City UP, India in 1883 to Sheikh Rahim Bakhsh. He is said to have learnt the complete Quran Sharif by heart. He also studied the origin of Urdu and Persian languages. Subsequently, he acquired the highest degree in the unani system of medicine.
Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed got in touch with Hakim Zamal Khan, who had a keen interest in herbs and was famous for identifying medicinal plants. Having consulted with his wife, Abdul Majeed set up a herbal shop at Hauz Qazi in Delhi in 1906 and started to produce herbal medicine there. In 1920 the small herbal shop turned into a full-fledged production house.
Hamdard Foundation was created in 1964 to disburse the profits of the company to promote the interests of the society. All the profits of the company go to the foundation.
After Abdul Majeed's death, his son Hakeem Abdul Hameed took over the administration of Hamdard Laboratories at the age of fourteen.
Even with humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him. Unfortunately, he passed away quite early but his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only kept the institution in existence but also expanded it. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed took on all responsibilities. After helping with his younger brother's upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Both brothers Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed

7. The Vegan Society may have been established 70 years ago but
veganism has been around much longer.
Evidence of veganism 2,000 years ago - Evidence of people
choosing to avoid animal products can be traced back over 2,000 years. As
early as 500 BCE, Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras
promoted benevolence among all species and followed what could be
described as a vegetarian diet.
The first to publicly object to eggs and dairy - Fast forward to
1806 CE and the earliest concepts of veganism are just starting to take
shape, with Dr William Lambe and Percy Bysshe Shelley amongst the first
to publicly object to eggs and dairy on ethical grounds.

8. Douglas Watson
Donald Watson - In November 1944, Donald Watson
called a meeting with five other non-dairy vegetarians,
including Elsie Shrigley, to discuss non-dairy vegetarian
diets and lifestyles. Though many held similar views at
the time, these six pioneers were the first to actively
found a new movement - despite opposition.
The Term Vegan - The group felt a new word was
required to describe them; something more concise than
‘non-dairy vegetarians’. Rejected words included
‘dairyban’, ‘vitan’, and ‘benevore’. They settled on
‘vegan’, containing the first three and last two letters of
‘vegetarian’. In the words of Donald Watson, it
marked “the beginning and end of vegetarian.”

Nutrition
All of the following nutritional benefits come from a vegan diet full of foods such as fresh
fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and beans.
1. Reduced saturated fats. Dairy products and meats contain a large amount of saturated
fats. By reducing the amount of saturated fats from your diet, you’ll improve your health
tremendously, especially when it comes to cardiovascular health.
2. Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide energy for your body. When you don’t have
enough carbohydrates, your body will burn muscle tissue.
3. Fiber. A diet high in fiber (as vegan eating usually is) leads to healthier bowel
movements. High fiber diets help fight against colon cancer.
4. Magnesium. Aiding in the absorption of calcium, magnesium is an often overlooked
vitamin in importance to a healthy diet. Nuts, seeds, and dark leafy greens are an excellent
source of magnesium.
5. Potassium. Potassium balances water and acidity in your body and stimulates the
kidneys to eliminate toxins. Diets high in potassium have shown to reduce the risk of
cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
14. 14
6. Folate. This B vitamin is an important part of a healthy diet. Folate helps with cell
repair, generating red and white blood cells, and metabolizing amino acids.
Antioxidants. For protection against cell damage, antioxidants are one of the best ways
to help your body. Many researchers also believe that antioxidants help protect your
body against forming some types of cancer.
7. Vitamin C. Besides boosting your immune system, Vitamin C also helps keep your
gums healthy and helps your bruises heal faster. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant.
Vitamin E. This powerful vitamin has benefits for your heart, skin, eyes, brain, and may
even help prevent Alzheimer’s Disease. A diet high in grains, nuts, and dark leafy
greens is full of Vitamin E.
8. Phytochemicals. Plant-based foods provide phytochemicals, which help to prevent
and heal the body from cancer, boost protective enzymes, and work with antioxidants in
the body.
Protein. That protein is good for your body is no surprise. It may be a surprise to learn
that most people in western countries eat too much protein and in forms such as red
meat that are not healthy ways of getting protein. Beans, nuts, peas, lentils, and soy
products are all great ways to get the right amount of protein in a vegan diet.
15. 15
Disease Prevention
Eating a healthy vegan diet has shown to prevent a number of diseases.
9. Cardiovascular disease. Eating nuts and whole grains, while eliminating dairy products and
meat, will improve your cardiovascular health. A British study indicates that a vegan diet reduces
the risk for heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Vegan diets go far in preventing heart attack and
stroke.
10. Cholesterol. Eliminating any food that comes from an animal and you will eliminate all
dietary cholesterol from your diet. Your heart will thank you for that.
Blood pressure. A diet rich in whole grains is beneficial to your health in many ways, including
lowering high blood pressure.
11. Type 2 diabetes. Not only is a vegan diet a weapon against Type 2 diabetes, it is also “easier
to follow than the standard diet recommended by the American Diabetic Association.”
12. Prostate cancer. A major study showed that men in the early stages of prostate cancer who
switched to a vegan diet either stopped the progress of the cancer or may have even reversed the
illness.
13. Colon cancer. Eating a diet consisting of whole grains, along with fresh fruits and
vegetables, can greatly reduce your chances of colon cancer.
16. 16
14. Breast cancer. Countries where women eat very little meat and animal
products have a much lower rate of breast cancer than do the women in countries
that consume more animal products.
15. Macular degeneration. Diets with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables,
especially leafy greens, carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes, can help prevent the
onset of age-related macular degeneration.
16. Cataracts. Much the same way macular degeneration is headed off by a vegan
diet, cataracts are also thought to be prevented through the intake of the same
fruits and vegetables. Produce high in antioxidants are also believed to help
prevent cataracts.
16. Arthritis. Eliminating dairy consumption has long been connected with
alleviating arthritis symptoms, but a new study indicates that a combination of
gluten-free and vegan diet is very promising for improving the health of those
suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
17. Osteoporosis. Bone health depends on a balance of neither too much or too
little protein, adequate calcium intake, high potassium, and low sodium. With a
healthy vegan diet, all four of these points set a perfect scenario for preventing
osteoporosis
