Alpha Nutrition Program Strategy

The Alpha Nutrition Program is designed to reduce cholesterol, total fat, saturated fats, and food allergy while increasing vegetable fiber intake. The program can be recommended, along with exercise and relaxation, as the most important defense against cardiovascular disease. The program is especially desirable for people who are struggling with chronic symptoms that suggest they have food-related disease and are at risk for arterial disease. Clues to the pervasive effects of the wrong food supply include recurrent symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, digestive symptoms, arthritic symptoms, food cravings and compulsive eating or drinking. The presence of recurrent or persistent symptoms means the complete comprehensive diet revision is required - not just salt and fat reduction. 

 Lower Caloric Intake

Many animal studies have established that calorie restriction slows ageing. Luigi Fontana et al studied 18 individuals, aged 32 to 85 years, who had been on a low calorie diet for 3 to 15 years, and compared them to 18 matched subjects on a normal diet. The calorie restricted group consumed between 10% and 25% fewer calories than the average American by eating small amounts of nutrient-dense foods, maintaining proper nutrition. The diet reduced major atherosclerosis risk factors:  serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides and blood pressure.  The calorie restricted group also had high levels of beneficial HDL. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the calorie restriction group the average was 100/60 mmHg compared with 130/80 mmHg in the normal diet group.

Carotid artery thickness was 40% less in the calorie-restricted group than in the comparison group and none of the individuals on calorie restriction had evidence of atherosclerotic plaque. Fasting glucose and insulin were also up to 65% lower in the calorie-restricted group, indicating a lower risk of diabetes.

Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet

A diet low in fat and sodium and rich in fruits and vegetables lowers blood pressure and blood levels of homocysteine, according to the DASH study investigators.  The DASH diet allowed 27% of calories from fat and is rich in fruit, vegetables, nuts, fish and low-fat dairy products.  Compared with the control diet with a high sodium level, the DASH diet with a low sodium level led to a mean systolic blood pressure  7.1 mm Hg lower in participants without hypertension, and 11.5 mm Hg lower in participants with hypertension. 

Dash Plus - The Alpha Nutrition Program

If you are diagnosed with artery disease and/or hypertension, you have to completely change your eating patterns. Do not try to hold on to old habits - they made you ill. You need to lose weight and exercise - even as little as 40 minutes per week of simple exercises such as walking and swimming can reduce the risk and the negative consequences of arterial disease.

The program is a standard method of diet revision that proceeds in a simple, logical manner. You eat more vegetables, less fat and balance your new diet according to the best nutritional ideas.

The program leaves out foods and food products that are higher risk from several points of view and includes foods that have protective and beneficial effects.

The program includes increased nutrient intake using Alpha DMX which is helpful in a simple, cost-effective manner.

The program does not require you to count calories, weigh food or engage in hard-to-do tasks that you will abandon in a few weeks.

You confront, understand and learn to cope with food cravings, compulsive eating and all the emotional issues that surround diet change. You avoid eating foods that commonly drive compulsive eating patterns.

You establish a safe-eating zone and learn how to retreat and recover if you "fall-off- the-wagon" and eat the wrong foods.

When I recommend the Alpha Nutrition Program, I recognize that I am addressing a diverse population of people with a wide range of needs. The only solid common ground is the need to change the diet and to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Your intelligence, learning and good judgment is essential for your success.  In the best case, you are well organized and eager for new information:

You gather information and learn how to better cope with the disease that now threatens your well being.

You are willing to change your lifestyle. You are willing to look at the bad news along with the good news.

You accept that you need to change so that you will avoid the worst consequences of the disease.

You are willing to study the Alpha Nutrition Program and use this simple technology to your advantage.

In the worst case, you are seriously overweight, disorganized around food and eat compulsively. You want to change but fear that you will not be up to the task. You will need to commit more time and energy to creating a support system for yourself so that you are likely to succeed at controlling your own eating behavior. The stakes are high and your effort must be proportionately great.

The Alpha Nutrition Program looks and acts quite different from typical low cholesterol, low fat diets. One of the reasons that “heart diets” do not work well is that they recommend that you eat foods with a high risk of reacting badly in your body. These are milk, eggs, red meat and wheat. If I ate these foods every day during the past 25 years I would be have been chronically ill and probably would not have survived long enough to write this book. Another reason that common diets not work is they may not involve you in a study of your own behavior and do not inform you about the compulsive, irrational aspects of eating.  You will need to become and expert in observing and managing your own behavior.
