If you are a candidate for surgery-of any dimension-there are steps you can take nutritionally to boost your immune system and promote healing

1. Reduce fat and cholesterol. Foods such as red meat, dairy products that eggs promote free radicals, which are unstable molecules that disrupt cellular activity and cause disease, and prevent microphage cells from recognizing and fighting pathogens. Fat and cholesterol also reduce circulation, preventing blood, nutrients and immune cells from getting to tissues and organ.

2. Vegetables, fruits and grains all support the immune system. Leafy greens are rich in minerals and antioxidants; colored vegetables are rich in beta carotene; green vegetables are high in vitamin C; and whole grains, such as brown rice, barley and whole wheat, contain vitamin E, minerals, and fibre, which helps detoxify the body by eliminating waste.

3. Ask your doctor whether you can take supplements of vitamin E and zinc to aid the immune system .Keep in mind large doses of the latter depress the immune system.

4. Add three or four cloves of garlic per week to your meals. Garlic is antiviral, antibacterial and enhances the liver’s ability to identify and eliminate toxins from the blood.

WHY YOU NEED A FOOD

Call it obsessive compulsive. (The researchers themselves do.) Call it tedious.(It certainly can be.)Even call it a little weird.(It is)But above all, call it successful. That’s because writing down every single thing you eat, along with how many calories it contains, can help you stick to a weight-loss regimen.



Researchers reporting in Health Psychology made the finding when they followed 38 dieters from 2 weeks before Thanksgiving until 2 weeks after New Year’s.

The men and women had already been on a weight-control regimen for an average of 50 weeks and had lost an average of 21 pounds each. But the researchers wanted to see if making a conscious effort to keep a written record of every single food that passed their lips would help them stay on track during the holiday season. Their findings: the 25 percent of the participants who were most consistent about writing down all the foods they ate managed to lose an average of 7 more pounds during the pre-Thanksgiving to post-New Year’s stretch. But the three quarters of the participants who were not as vigilant gained back 3 pounds, on average.

EAT INFECTION?

Although evidence is far from conclusive, recent research has hinted that being overweight might be linked to a specific virus. A study done at the University of Wisconsin Medical School reports that 15 percent of overweight subjects showed evidence of previous exposure to a virus (adenovirus Ad-36)that causes obesity in animals, while none of the lean subjects did. The study, however, involved only 199 subjects, and significant research remains to be done.
