A few comments about diabetes, atherosclerosis and hypertension 

ENERGY – intake relative to energy expenditure with obtention of a normal BMI being the objective-this helps with preventing and managingdiabetes, atherosclerosis and hypertension

Protein 0.8 g/kg bw/day in healthy sedentary to moderately active persons -reduces renal stress

Carbohydrate- emphasis on complex carbohydrate like whole grains for the grains portion of the diet-assist in weight loss and hence management of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis and hypertension

Sodium –Canadian Hypertension Society current recommendation for all healthy adults is now 2000 mg/day or about one teaspoon- reduced sodium intake lowers B.P. (sodium draws water into the vasculature thus increasing water volume and B.P. (sodium also has a minor impact on water viscosity).Canadians on average consume about 3400 mg of sodium each day.

Lipids- reduce dietary saturated and trans-fats and increase oleic and polyunsaturated to improve the dyslipidemia (low HDL-c and high triglycerides concentrations in blood serum or plasma)-prevents and manages hypertension and atherosclerosis and manages type 2 diabetes.
