Vary the types you eat; select widely among fresh vegetables and fresh fruit, as well as bran cereals, fresh salads, bean soups, and legumes (see the table on page 116 for a list of foods and their fiber content). You can "de-gas" most legumes to some extent by soaking them for several hours and then discarding the soaking water. Remember, however, that doing so leaches out some of their nutrients. There is also a flavorless over-the-counter product called Beano that, when added to bean dishes, will prevent or significantly reduce any resulting gas.

Only fresh fruit and vegetable juices (ideally prepared from organic produce) should be consumed for the next three to five days. Four 8-to-12-ounce glasses of fresh juice should be consumed throughout the day. In addition to the fresh juice, pure water should also be consumed. The quantity of water should be dictated by thirst, but at least four 8-ounce glasses should be consumed every day during the fast. Do not drink coffee; bottled, canned, or frozen juice; or soft drinks. Herbal teas can be quite supportive of a fast, but they should not be sweetened.

To address the question, we obtained minutes of the En-docrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee meetings (under the Freedom of Information Act) at which lovastatin and gemfibrozil—the two most popular cholesterol-lowering drugs—were discussed. . .

Followed by linguine with a light tomato and basil sauce, a side of broccoli or spinach, and fresh fruit for dessert, this meal presents vegetables, legumes, grains, and fruits in such a delightful way that you won't think of them as health foods. But indeed they are. This dinner is also noteworthy for what it leaves out. It contains no meat, so it skips the heme iron that defies the body's attempts to limit iron absorption and encourages free radical damage.

Foods as simple and delicious as spaghetti with tomato and basil sauce, perhaps with side orders of beans (fagioli) and broccoli with garlic, and fresh fruit for dessert are as appealing to your biochemistry as your palate. Michelangelo's palette was not simply green, yellow, and orange. He used the full rainbow of hues. Similarly, it is a bit simplistic to speak only of selenium, vitamin E, and beta-carotene. As I noted above, green, yellow, and orange vegetables give you much more than beta-carotene. They supply dozens of other powerful carotenoids and other natural antioxidants, too.

They are apt to have less money and leisure time, and are usually not as well educated; they consume fewer calories, eat fewer high-fiber foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and beans, and are apt to drink more tea and coffee, but less water. Chronic constipation is much more common in the Western world than in most "underdeveloped" countries because of how we've changed our diet over the last hundred years. Much of the food we now eat is "refined"—more digestible, tasty, caloric, fattier, and with much less fiber.

The cure for scurvy, discovered by British naval physician James Lind in 1747, turned out to be fresh fruit, namely citrus fmits; the active agent was later identified as vitamin C. Modem tests confirm that low intake of vitamin C produces bleeding gums and other signs of gingivitis. When monkeys and other animals are deprived of vitamin C, their gums swell and hemorrhage, collagen degenerates, and their teeth get loose. Deprived humans react the same way.

By having fresh fruit instead of fruit juice, brown rice instead of mashed potatoes, substituting whole-wheat bread for white, and making a few other small changes, you can add over 30 grams of fiber to your diet—painlessly! CYSTIC FIBROSIS WHEN THE "WORST" FOODS ARE THE BEST! I recently attended a fund-raising dinner to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I asked a woman sitting next to me whether she was there because she had a special interest in cystic fibrosis. No, she told me, she was simply someone's guest.

Your diet should also contain three or four servings of fresh fruit daily and four or five servings of fresh vegetables (steamed or in salads) as well as 2 or 3 cups of skim milk or nonfat yogurt. Your remaining calories should come from such complex carbohydrates as pasta, potatoes, and whole-grain breads. Limit your intake of oil and fat, most of which should be monounsaturated (olive or canola oil). On theoretical grounds, I recommend multivitamin supplements because of their vitamin B complex content, as well as the trace metals and minerals, such as magnesium and zinc that they contain.

Ideally, the liquids should be in the form of pure water, herbal teas, and fresh fruit and vegetable juices diluted with at least an equal amount of water. If you have a bladder infection, you should drink at least 64 ounces of liquids from this group, with at least half of this amount being water. You should also avoid such liquids as soft drinks, concentrated fruit drinks, coffee, and alcoholic beverages. Cranberry Juice Cranberries and cranberry juice are particularly beneficial in the treatment of urinary tract infections; several clinical studies have shown them to be quite effective.

Eat three servings of fresh fruit rather than just the juice, to benefit from the bulk and fiber. Again, no caffeine in the afternoon. The sample menu on page 276 provides an example of a suitable "fast" day. The day before departure is another feast day—same rules as day one. On the day of departure you really do fast—nothing but water, of which you can have as much as you like. You may take whatever medications you normally would.

Potassium is found in a wide range of foods, and clinical deficiency is unusual, but diets low in fresh fruit and vegetables (good sources) and high in salty snack foods may create a potassium/sodium imbalance. Also, people who take diuretics or laxatives, or who are on some types of drug (e.g. steroids), may excrete too much potassium. Severe potassium deficiency can result in serious heart problems—even heart attack. Excess is unlikely in a normal diet, though very high levels of supplementation would be toxic.
