New Study argues against low fat diets
High Sodium linked with low blood pressure - What?
This confirms what experience tells us from watching people live into their 80's that never worried about fancy diets and got exercise by working in the yard, taking walks, and playing some tennis or other activities. Often the radical diets of today that are supposed to make you live longer prove to be dangerous. As an example.
Margarine is now thought to be worse than butter.
Carb loading diets were pushed by studies for decades but created insulin resistance.
Low fat diets were also a big thing with the same problem, insulin resistance.
Now low carb diets are the thing, so now we may have kidney problems from too much protein.
Now we have paleo diets, and these are surprisingly similar to the low carb high fat diet that has been around under other names for almost 50 years.
The mediterranean diet seems to make the most sense because it is a diet that arrived naturally and proves to promote health based on lifespans and overall quality of life issues.
Live life and eat sensibly. Watch the alcohol intake and stay away from lots of sugar if for no other reason than to save your teeth. You'll feel better and probably experience better health overall.
