Docyo
Simple carbohydrates = Simple Sugars (only) = GlucoseSimple Carbohydrates
• Most are a form of energy with no nutritional value• The brain cells need sugar, however too much is bad• Too many simple sugars will be stored as fat
Docyo
Complex Carbohydrates = Simple Sugar + Nutrients(Minerals and Vitamins) + Fiber
Complex Carbohydrates
• Includes Fiber - Helps for proper functioning of the Digestive System
• Too much complex carbohydrates are also stored as fat• Every serving of a whole grain product decreases your risk of
Diabetes Mellitus by 10%
Food = Carbohydrates= Calories= Energy
Docyo• The primary function of carbohydrates is to provide energy (as glucose) for the body, especially the nervous system.
• carbohydrates = total calories, causing obesity
• carbohydrates = malnutrition or fat intake (to make up for the lost carbohydrates)--
• Most people should get 40% to 60% of total calories from carbohydrates, preferably from complex and natural sugars (= calories, vitamins, minerals and fiber)
• Processed or refined simple sugars provide energy, but very little nutrition. It is wise to limit these sugars
Carbohydrates in Diet
Docyo
Proteins
• Proteins are essential in bodies’ normal functions
• Assists in synthesizing enzymes and hormones, maintaining fluid balance, and regulating vital functions such as building antibodies
• Building blocks for muscles, bones, cartilage, skin, hair and blood
Proteins = Amino Acids = All other types of Protein
Docyo
Truth About Protein #1
• Uric acid is a byproduct of purine
metabolism
• Purine is found in most protein rich-
foods
• Uric acid in blood stream =
function of kidneys to eliminate
excess purine
• Uric acid can crystallize = gout
and/or kidney stones
Proteins ≈ Purines = Uric Acid
Docyo
Truth About Protein #2
• The body will use Protein as substitutes to Carbohydrates/Simple Sugars if that is the only thing it has
• Protein metabolism causes excess build up of ketones
• Kidney goes into overdrive to flush excess ketones = may lose kidney function
• Significant loss of water follows flushing of ketones = dehydration
Protein in diet + Carbohydrates = Toxic Ketones
Docyo• Protein is necessary in diet to help body repair cells and make new ones; for growth and development; and to supply the essential amino acids that our bodies are incapable of synthesizing
• However, too much Protein can have adverse effects (as previously mentioned)
• It’s recommended to consume 0.36 g of protein for every pound of body weight and that 10%-30% of daily caloric intake come from protein
• > 30% can be harmful to your body
Protein in Diet
Docyo
Fatty Acids = Hydrocarbon chains = Energy SourceFatty Acids
• Fats are important for the body for many functions such as insulating nerve cells, balancing hormones, maintaining cell membranes, etc.
• They are also an important energy source, > 6x that of carbohydrates per unit storage of mass
• But too much fat can cause harm: obesity, atherosclerosis, etc.
• It is important to determine type of fatty acid to consume as some are better than others
Docyo• The long chain of carbon atoms in the molecule
are completely surrounded by hydrogen (all
single bonds)
• Most are solid at room temperature
• Stimulates the body to increase levels of
cholesterol in blood (LDL = bad cholesterol)
Saturated Fatty Acids
Docyo• The long chain of carbon atoms in the molecule
have either one (monounsaturated) or more
(polyunsaturated) double bonds
• Most are liquid at room temperature
• Contains essential fatty acids that the body can’t
manufacture (omega 3 and omega 6)
• Linked to HDL production (good cholesterol)
Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Docyo• Fatty acids are good energy sources when carbohydrates are not available
• They are important for many body functions• However, they stimulate production of cholesterol
(good and bad), and they are very dense in calories• It is therefore important to keep all fat to a
minimum, especially saturated fatty acids.• AHA recommends to limit fat intake to 10% to 30% of
total calories, with saturated fatty acids at only 7%
Fat in Diet
Docyo
Exercise
• Sedentary lifestyle dangerous for health
• Tied to diabetes, obesity, heart disease and premature death
• Physical activity can help improve overall fitness
• Two types of exercise: aerobic and anaerobic
Docyo• oxygen consumption
• aerobic glycolysis for energy
• relatively low intensity
• heart rate
• circulation
• typically long duration
• benefits: cardiovascular system, stamina, resting heart rate
• examples: running, jogging, swimming, cycling
Aerobic Exercise
Docyo• “without oxygen”
• relatively high intensity
• relies on: muscle ATP reserves, anaerobic glycolysis, creatine phosphate
• benefits: muscle strength, mass and flexibility, bone strength
ability to withstand fatigue (lactic acid)
• examples: weight-lifting, sprinting
Anaerobic Exercise
Vascular Disease
… the 70,000 miles of Arteries that pump blood through your body.
Cardiovascular Disease effects the Heart and …
Docyo
The Normal Artery
Arteries open and close in all mammals including men and women
Damage or disease of your circulatory system is called Vascular Disease
A normal artery is free of plaque formation
The artery wall is very thick and elastic
A healthy artery can do its job of pushing blood throughout your body
Docyo
Plaque
Plaque is accumulation of fats including cholesterol Sever plaque formation can cause Heart Attacks and
Strokes
Docyo Apparent in various arenas (i.e. football, soccer, baseball) Studies have shown that a significant proportion of players
have potentially life threatening levels of fat and cholesterol in blood
Increases risk of sudden cardiac death, heart attack and/or stroke during vigorous activities (such as competitive sports)
Sports-related sudden death in the general population is considerably more common than previously suspected
Vascular Disease in Sports
Docyo
Risk Factors of Vascular Disease
Smoking High Blood Pressure Diabetes High Cholesterol Anger/Rage Sedentary Lifestyle Overweight Ethnic Characteristics Family History
Docyo Determine Cardiovascular status Reduce risk factors for Cardiovascular Disease Improve Cardiovascular health Improve performance in sports
Goals of the V.I.P.S. Program
Take common measurements like BP and weight
Do a Doppler Waveform analysis of radial arteries
• Triphasic vs Biphasic vs Monophasic• High vs Low Peak Velocity• Wide vs Narrow Waveforms
Determine Cardiovascular Status
Provide recommendations in terms of exercise and nutrition (dependent of cardiovascular status)
Reduce Risk Factors for CardioVascular Disease

Nutritional Guidelines
∗ Water: Drink plenty of water. If you are not urinating every hour throughout the day, you are not drinking enough water. This may be more than 8-9 glasses (traditional recommendation)
∗ Breakfast: This is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast should never be skipped! Enjoy it! Eat a well-balanced meal that consists of favorite health and low-sugar breakfast foods. This will jumpstart your day.
∗ Lunch: Lunch is considered by many to be the main meal of the day. A well-balanced and healthy lunch keeps your body going throughout the day and well into the night. Eat your protein at this meal.
∗ Dinner: Dinner should be your smallest meal of the day. Bodies will be stressed because we digest instead of rest. Small amounts of carbohydrates, no protein at least four hours before retiring.
“Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.”
Docyo
Nutritional Guidelines
∗ Dairy: Avoid milk and cheese. Milk contains hormones, fat and can cause intestinal irritation. Replace with Soy or Rice milk, Yogurt (non-fat) occasionally. No use of butter or margarine. Use olive oil as a replacement as much as possible
∗ Meats: 2 (2-4 oz., fist size) servings/week [3-4 for athletes]. This includes Chicken, Beef, Turkey, Lamb & Pork
∗ Fish: 3 (2-4 oz., fist size) servings/week
∗ Beverages: For better digestion, a minimal amount of beverage should be taken with meals. In addition, beverages should be taken 30 minutes before or 2 hours after your meal
Docyo Intensity
Time of day
80% = aerobic stretches
20% - anaerobic, isometrics
Exercise Guidelines(dependent on vascular health status)
Provide recommendations in terms of exercise and nutrition (dependent of cardiovascular status)
Provide weekly reminders (via email) of recommendations
Reduce Risk Factors for CardioVascular Disease
Reassessment in 6 weeks of cardiovascular health
For the participants highly motivated to better your health and keep track of you progress, you may also visit the office: Alexander Castellanos M.D. Inc. once every week, between 12pm-1pm, M-F to reassess BP, weight, and vascular status
Hopefully, signs of improvement in terms of weight, BP and vascular status, will be apparent at the end of the 6 weeks (or weekly if you choose to visit the office every week)
