4 I love this Doctor Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up! 4

5 Cardiovascular Risk Factors in ASIANS Northern California - Klatsky, 1991 Smoking (Male) Increased Cholesterol Chinese Japanese Filipino Other Asian Diabetes Westernization of the Filipino Population in Rome, Italy - Obesity, Diabetes and Hypertension - Gentilucci, males 240 females 12.9 years in Rome BMI>25 Kg/m % Diabetes 13.1% Hypertension 34.3% 75% are unaware of Diabetes or Hypertension Overweight ALARMING Results High BP (>140/90) Metabolic Syndrome in Filipinos - Morales D, et al Diabetes/VASC Research March 2008 Low HDL in 60.2% Men, 80.9% Women abdominal obesity 17.7% Men, 35% Women Hypertension in 33.3% of both Metabolic Syndrome in 18.6% Cardiovascular Risks Among Asian Americans Results from a National Survey - Ye J, 2009 Multiple logistic regression vs. whites Hypertension Diabetes Obesity Binge Drinking Chinese Filipino Other Asians

6 Phases of Epidemiologic Transition - Gaziano 1. Pestilence & Famine Average life expectancy ~ 30 years 2. Receding pandemics 3. Cardiovascular disease & cancer Mostly man-made disease - smoking - decrease activity - increase consumption of animal products 4. Decline in deaths from cardiovascular disease 5. Obesity and Diabetes - Most Americans are overweight and one third are obese Common Conditions Associated With Obesity Coronary Artery Disease Stroke Hypertension Hyperlipidemia Diabetes Joint Disease Cancer Sleep Apnea Accidents Asthma 6

8 I love this Doctor Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good! 8

9 Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me. Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape! CLUSTERING OF RISK FACTORS IS ASSOCIATED WITH POORER LATE OUTCOMES IN DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS PRESENTING FOR TREATMENT OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE Colman Ryan, M.D., F.A.C.A. Richard E.

13 I love this Doctor Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: 'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride' AND... For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies. 1. The Japanese eat very little fat And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 13

14 CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. Bibliography 1.
