Download or read book Behcet s Disease the Diet Solution written by HELMUT. SCHROEDER and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The courageous story of how one man found a way to live medication free and healthy with Behcet's disease. In his mid fifties, Helmut Schroeder was diagnosed with Behcet's disease. Behcet's is a multi-symptom disease, painfully disabling and potentially fatal. His physicians told him there is no cure for this disease. Behcet's disease is not contagious and has been classified as a Chronic Disease. A chronic disease is a condition lasting three months or longer. This is by the definition of the U.S. National Center of Health Statistics. Managing it with drugs is the only option recommended by his physicians. He went on those drug treatments for a period of time and had severe allergic reactions from them. Not only did his health not improve, it worsened progressively. Yet his physicians offered no other treatment options. At that point, he realized that he had to find his own answers to his health issues. The only other option was a diet change, but his physicians did not support that idea. Nevertheless, he halted the drug treatments, and stopped eating the Standard American Diet (SAD). His new diet plan is mainly white rice with selected plant-based whole foods. Plant-based diets are recommended by a group of physicians who practice Lifestyle Medicine. With his positive attitude, he researched and found out about most of the foods that caused Behcet's disease. Almost thirty years later, Schroeder is still in good health and remains nearly BD free. He maintains an active lifestyle. This is his story. He describes in his book the trials and errors he encountered. Also how he avoids most of the allergy-causing foods that caused his BD, and how he restored his health. With his life-affirming attitude, he shows you how to become healthier, more positive, and challenge yourself to change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his mid fifties, Helmut Schroeder was diagnosed with Behçet's Disease [BD], a rare autoimmune disorder that causes blood vessel inflammation throughout the body. This disease is painfully disabling and potentially fatal. Behçet's Disease is not contagious and is classified as a Chronic Disease, which is a condition lasting three months or longer, by the definition of the U.S. National Center of Health Statistics. Schroeder's physicians told him there is no cure for this disease and recommended managing it with drugs as the only option available. So he went on those drug treatments for a period of time and had severe allergic reactions from them. Not only did his health not improve - it actually worsened, progressively. Yet, his physicians offered no other treatment options. The other alternative was a diet change; but, his physicians did not support that idea. At that point, he realized that he had to find his own answers for his health issues. He eased out of the drug treatments and stopped eating the Standard American Diet [SAD]. He began his new diet of mainly white rice with selective plant-based whole foods. This kind of diet is recommended by a group of physicians who practice Lifestyle Medicine. With his positive attitude, he researched and found out about most of the foods that aggravate his BD. Almost thirty years later, he is still in good health, maintains an active lifestyle, and remains nearly BD free. This is his story. In this book, he describes the trials and errors he encountered. He also describes how he learned to avoid most of the allergy-causing foods that aggravate his BD, and how he restored his health. With his life-affirming attitude, he shows you how to become healthier and more positive, as well as challenge yourself to change.

Download or read book Nutrient Composition of Rations for Short Term High Intensity Combat Operations written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-01-09 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the importance of good nutrition for physical and mental status, the Department of Defense asked the Institute of Medicine to guide the design of the nutritional composition of a ration for soldiers on short-term, high-stress missions. Nutrient Composition of Rations for Short-Term, High-Intensity Combat Operations considers military performance, health concerns, food intake, energy expenditure, physical exercise, and food technology issues. The success of military operations depends to a large extent on the physical and mental status of the individuals involved. Appropriate nutrition during assault missions is a continuous challenge mainly due to diminished appetites of individuals under stress. Many less controllable and unpredictable factors, such as individual preferences and climate, come into play to reduce appetite. In fact, soldiers usually consume about half of the calories needed, leaving them in a state called "negative energy balance." The consequences of being in negative energy balance while under these circumstances range from weight loss to fatigue to mental impairments. An individual's physiological and nutritional status can markedly affect one's ability to maximize performance during missions and may compromise effectiveness. With the number of these missions increasing, the optimization of rations has become a high priority.
