Join Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile as they interview Dr. Jed Fahey ScD, a nutritional biochemist with broad training and extensive background in plant physiology, human nutrition, phytochemistry and nutritional biochemistry.
His research addresses the induction by phytochemicals, of cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant responses in mammalian systems. This work draws on elements of natural product chemistry, enzymology, nutritional epidemiology and clinical research to develop nutritional strategies for chronic disease prevention in humans. Many of these studies deal with the glucosinolates and isothiocyanates that are found primarily in cruciferous vegetables and in a nutritious tropical tree called the drumstick tree or Moringa oleifera.
Some of his past work has focused upon a variety of flavonoid and phenolic secondary metabolites from ginseng, honey, ginger, ashwagandha, black cohosh, and other plants.
Fahey’s Chemoprotection Center (https://chemoprotectioncenter.org/) has developed, characterized, and supplied preparations rich in specificphytochemicals for a large number of animal and clinical studies in which they have played an integral collaborative role.
Dr. Fahey is now spending the majority of his time working to promote behaviors that enhance healthspan. His ongoing outreach work includes a planned book and podcast series, and he seeks to translate the science that his group and others have done to prevent chronic diseases, to a lay public audience.

Authors from the book "The Sicilian Secret Diet Plan", Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile discuss "Introducing Solid Foods to Babies".
"The main source of food and nutrition for the baby for the first four to six months should be exclusively breast milk or formula when the mother cannot for whatever reason use breast milk. So when and how to start introducing solid foods to your child? The most important thing is to observe when your child is ready. The academy of pediatrics in the United States has recommended six months as a date to start. The baby has to be able to hold the head steady to avoid choking. They must be able to sit up-right in a chair. They have to start to be curious about the food that is around them. Once the baby is interested, you might know that they are finally ready."

Authors from the book "The Sicilian Secret Diet Plan", Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile discuss "Introducing Solid Foods to Babies".
"The main source of food and nutrition for the baby for the first four to six months should be exclusively breast milk or formula when the mother cannot for whatever reason use breast milk. So when and how to start introducing solid foods to your child? The most important thing is to observe when your child is ready. The academy of pediatrics in the United States has recommended six months as a date to start. The baby has to be able to hold the head steady to avoid choking. They must be able to sit up-right in a chair. They have to start to be curious about the food that is around them. Once the baby is interested, you might know that they are finally ready."

Authors from the book "The Sicilian Secret Diet Plan", Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile discuss breastfeeding.
"Why do we want to breastfeed our children? Why is it so important to do so? What are the benefits for the infants? What are the benefits for the mother? Are they short term or long term benefits? We know how important nutrition is especially in the first year of a child's life. It sets the basis for the brain function, physical growth and any future predisposition to chronic illness.. So we want to do it right from the very beginning."

Authors from the book "The Sicilian Secret Diet Plan", Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile discuss Sex Drive, Fertility and Pregnancy.
"Fertility is a person's ability to conceive children. A woman is considered infertile if she's unable to get pregnant after at least one year of unprotected sex. Fertility of course also includes the male partner's ability to get the woman pregnant. Many of the lifestyle factors that affect fertility, affect both the man and the woman. Approximately, 15% of couples in the U.S. are infertile. Evidence shows that nutrition can play a significant role in fertility. Healthy diets such as the Mediterranean diet which is naturally high in unsaturated fats, whole grains, vegetables and fish promote fertility. "
Authors from the book "The Sicilian Secret Diet Plan", Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile discuss how different foods interact with each other as well as the benefits of eating in season.
"A benefit of buying local and in season is that the carbon footprint is much better and is important for sustainable agriculture. More water is needed to grow produce out of season, so water resources are strained. Supporting local farmers helps sustain the local economy and helps the local farmer maintain quality soil and helps support the workers of that farm."

Many fans and podcast listeners have been reaching out to Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile to understand more about Macro and Micronutrients.
"The National Academy of Medicine recommends that adults get a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight per day, or just over 7 grams for every 20 pounds of body weight. [1] This is probably not enough, most of the data support that the minimum amount should be close to 1,2 grams per kilogram which in pounds is 0.6 or .7 per pounds, and for athletes and older people should be closer to 1.6 per kilogram, after that amount we can’t use it. As we age unfortunately, we start eating less proteins.
For 70 kilos person, that means about 80 grams of protein each day."

Many fans and podcast listeners have been reaching out to Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile to understand more about Macro and Micronutrients.
“We’re going to talk about another very important macronutrient and that would be “fat”. Fat is necessary. We have to eat small amounts of fat. There are some kinds of fats like fatty acids which the body cannot produce on its’ own. That’s why we have to make sure to introduce them with our diet. Just as all carbohydrates are not created equal, similarly, not all fats are created equal. So we are going to learn about the fats that are actually helpful as well as the fats which are not. In fact, the Mediterranean diet and our Sicilian version of the Mediterranean diet is a high fat diet. These diets may be high in fat but they are actually high in “good” fats. Some examples of our favorite high in fat ingredients are avocados, olives, and nuts… “
Many fans and podcast listeners have been reaching out to understand more about Macro and Micronutrients. Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile open up the conversation and focus on Macro nutrients in this week's podcast.
Micronutrients refer mainly to vitamins and minerals that are essential for optimal health.
Micronutrients are essential for life, especially for growth of cells, bone health, the production of ATP or energy molecules in the cells, the proper function of our immune system, and helping the blood coagulation system so that we can stop bleeding when we need to. Each micronutrient has a specific role in maintaining optimal function of cells and many important physiological functions. A severe insufficiency of micronutrients can result in specific diseases; however, a relative decrease can result in suboptimal cellular function.
Many fans and podcast listeners have been reaching out to understand more about Macro and Micronutrients. Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile open up the conversation and focus on Macro nutrients in this week's podcast.
Macronutrients are the nutrients that people require regularly and in large quantities to create the energy needed to perform bodily functions and physical activities.
Macronutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, some people also include water as part of macronutrients. Most of the body’s energy and calories come from macronutrients. Each type of macronutrient has its own benefits and purpose in maintaining a healthy body. The exact amount of each macronutrient a person requires varies based on the individual weight, age, and pre-existing health conditions.
In this episode, Dr. Cammarata and Dr. Campanile will discuss the different ways that one can improve health in both their heart and brain and why it matters so much to do so.
Globally, nearly 18.6 million people died of cardiovascular disease in 2019, the latest year for which worldwide statistics are calculated. That reflects a 17.1% increase over the past decade. There were more than 523.2 million cases of cardiovascular disease in 2019, an increase of 26.6% compared with 2010. In the US a person dies from heart disease every 36 seconds, and 659,000 die every year. 2200 Americans die of heart disease every day, the most common cause of death in both men and women – over 40 million American women are currently living with some form of heart disease.
As life expectancy lengthens around the world, the incidence of dementia and cognitive decline is also increasing. The number of people affected by dementia is growing exponentially, with an estimated 50 million people diagnosed worldwide today and 82 million predicted to be diagnosed by 2030.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common disease of aging, affecting as many as 70 million people worldwide.
Thankfully, the habits to prevent or even possibly reverse any of these related diseases are all the same. Please take the time to enjoy this podcast and learn about what these specific habits are.
Join Dr. Cammarata and Dr. Campanile on this week's episode about Flavonoids.
Flavonoids are naturally found in fruits, vegetables, wine, tea and chocolate.
Best known flavonoids:
Quercetin, kaempferol, catechins and anthocyanidins
Responsible for the rich colors of fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries.
There are over 6000 known flavonoids
Most Americans get flavonoids from:
Flavon-3-ols in black and green tea. It is recommended that we get 1000 mg of flavonoids per day which would be 6-10 servings of fruit and vegetables
– Most Americans get less than 250mg daily.
These are Antioxidants which prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals that our bodies produce as a reaction to environmental stress such as radiation and pollution.
-Flavanols – Onions, Grapes, Red Wine, Tea, Peaches, Berries, Tomatoes, Broccoli, quercetin, kaempferol
-Flavon-3-ols – green and white tea (cathechins, gallocathechins, epicathechins and theaflavins), apples, blueberries, strawberries, cocoa
-Flavones – parsley, red peppers, chamomile, peppermint
-Flavanones – lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit
-Isoflavones – soy, fava beans
-Anthocyanins – give red, purple and blue color such as red and purple grapes, red wine, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc.
Benefits:
Lower Blood Pressure – Multiple Studies
Reduce Risk of DM2 – a Meta Analysis in 2018 showed that a diet rich in flavonoids
reduce DM2
Anti-Cancer – Studies have shown that flavonoids help reduce the ability of cancers
to grow
Anti-Inflammatory – the can inhibit cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX)
Heart – They reduce to production of oxLDL, which reduces atherosclerosis.
They also improve endothelial function – a study showed that by adding foods
rich in flavonoids
Such as oregano, rosemary, garlic and black pepper to a meal significantly
improved endothelial
Function after a meal.
They also have anti-platelet effects, reducing the risk of heart attacks and
strokes.
Brain Health – Flavonoids help reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
Cancer – they probably help reduce the risk of all cancers, but there is good
evidence for breast and lung
Detox – they help both phase 1 and phase 2 detox
Fresh fruits and vegetables have a much higher flavonoid content than stored or transported produce – the closer to the time of harvesting the higher the flavonoid content.
(However, to get the heart health benefits, one must ingest 6-10 serving of vegetables plus fruit.)
Also, high or prolonged heat can reduce the flavonoid content – so steaming or brief sautéing is best – cooking for less than 8 minutes.
The skin typically has the highest content of flavonoids – so it is important to wash
the produce well and consume the skin or purchase organic foods.
The Mediterranean Diet is a traditional way of eating used in countries of the Mediterranean basin including places such as Italy and Sicily, Spain, France, and Greece. There are numerous studies that have scientifically shown that the Mediterranean Diet can prevent heart disease, diabetes cancer, dementia, infertility and cancer. Here, we will discuss which different foods that can be enjoyed within this diet and why they work.
