Go for Lean Meats and Fish
Go for Lean Meats and Fish
You can still eat meat. Just make sure it’s lean. Meats are good sources of protein and magnesium.
Skinless chicken and fish are also on the menu. Limit your servings to six or fewer a day.
A serving is 1 ounce of cooked meat, fish, or poultry, or one egg.
A good rule is to have no more than 3 ounces of meat at a meal -- the size of an iPhone.
Limit egg yolks to no more than four in a week.

Add Nuts and Legumes to your diet
Info siyece :
Add Nuts and Legumes
Nuts, legumes, and seeds are rich in magnesium, protein, and fiber. Walnuts are full of omega-3 fatty acids, which may help lower your risk of heart disease. Enjoy as many as five servings of these foods each week. That’s 1/3 cup of nuts, 2 tablespoons of seeds, or a 1/2 cup of cooked dried beans or peas in each serving. Grab a handful of seeds or nuts as a snack. Or add beans to your salads or soups.

Note: From 2010-02-01, Watson weighing scale had replaced Camry, which became faulty. In the past reading of Camry was about 500g more than that of Watson. To maintain consistency, so my weight =Watson reading (in kg) + 500g.
On 2010-03-28, at about 7.40 am, my weight by Camry = 55.9 kg + 500g = 56.4 kg. I also used Tanita BC-532 Body Composition Monitor to confirm that my weight was 56.4 kg.
My current BMI is within the healthy range of 18.5 to 22.9.
For me, the range of healthy weight is 50.9786 kg (BMI = 18.5) to 63.10324 kg (BMI = 22.9).
People with BMI values of 23 kg/m2 (or 25 kg/m2 according to some sources) and above have been found to be at risk of developing heart disease and diabetes.
To be healthy, I must have a healthy weight.
Be as lean as possible without being underweight, as recommended by World Cancer Prevention Foundation, United Kingdom.

Q: Which foods compromise the endothelial cells the most?
A: Animal and processed foods, primarily oil, dairy, anything with mother or face — meat, fish and fowl — and sugar, coffee with caffeine.

Endothelium, the “production house of Nitric Oxide
The following is from
Heart healthy choice: Supporting the endothelium
Impacts: Nitric Oxide production, blood flow, and blood pressure
===============
Many people are taking steps to support the endothelium but don’t even realize it. In fact, you may have never even heard of this important organ before. Our bodies contain 6 trillion endothelial cells, which line 60,000 miles of blood vessels in a single layer; together, those 6 trillion cells make up an organ known as the endothelium.
As I found in my research, Nitric Oxide is one of the most important molecules in the cardiovascular system. Increased Nitric Oxide results in increased blood flow to the organs, which supports healthy blood pressure and a healthy cardiovascular system.
But for all this to happen, the “production house” of Nitric Oxide – the endothelium – needs to be supported.
Doing the things we’ve already discussed – exercising, eating a healthy diet, lowering stress, and losing weight – all contribute to endothelial health.
Supplementing with targeted nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, CoQ10, krill, garlic, and green tea also help keep your endothelium healthy by providing the nutrients it needs to function at its best.
And a healthy endothelium results in healthy Nitric Oxide levels, which impacts blood flow and blood pressure – not to mention the functioning of the entire body.

With all the hype about Omega-3s, it’s easy to forget that the best way to get the fatty acids EPA and DHA is by eating 6 to 12 ounces of fatty fish every week. But if you don’t care for salmon, tuna, mackerel or other fish rich in Omega-3s, supplementing is a great option. Research shows that getting about 1 gram of Omega-3 daily can reduce triglyceride levels, improve overall heart health and lower the risk of depression.

L-Arginine ( or simply called Arginine), it's food sources, nitric acid and blood vessels
The following is extracted from:
L-Arginine ( or simply called Arginine)
Deficiencies of arginine are rare. It's abundant in many different types of foods, and your body can also make it. Arginine-rich foods include red meat, fish, poultry, wheat germ, grains, nuts and seeds, and dairy products.
Arginine, also known as L-arginine, is involved in a number of different functions in the body. They include
Wound healing
Helping the kidneys remove waste products from the body
Maintaining immune and hormone function
As a natural dietary supplement, arginine has garnered particular attention for its possible heart benefits.
What Are Arginine's Heart Benefits?
In the body, the amino acid arginine changes into nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is a powerful neurotransmitter that helps blood vessels relax and also improves circulation.
Book "NO More Heart Disease: How Nitric Oxide Can Prevent--Even Reverse--Heart Disease and Strokes "
By Dr. Louis Ignarro
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Released on: January 24 2006
Pages:272 pages
ISBN 978-0312335823
Product Description
Dr. Louis Ignarro discovered "the atom" of cardiovascular health--a tiny molecule called Nitric Oxide. NO, as it is known by chemists, is a signaling molecule produced by the body, and is a vasodilator that helps control blood flow to every part of the body. Dr. Ignarro's findings led to the development of Viagra. Nitric Oxide has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system as well.
NO relaxes and enlarges the blood vessels, prevents blood clots that trigger strokes and heart attacks, and regulates blood pressure and the accumulation of plaque in the blood vessels. Dr. Ignarro's current research indicates that Nitric Oxide may help lower cholesterol by facilitating the actions of statin drugs like Lipitor.
The goal of the regimen presented in NO More Heart Disease is to age proof the cardiovascular system, keeping the vascular network clean and elastic through enhanced NO productivity. The plan is easy-to-follow without extreme lifestyle adjustments, involving taking supplements to stimulate Nitric Oxide production, incorporating NO friendly food into the diet, and a moderate exercise program.

Review
"The discovery of Nitric Oxide by Lou Ignarro, and the role that it plays in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, is as important as the discovery of penicillin and insulin."

About the Author
Dr. Louis J. Ignarro is a Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology at the UCLA School of Medicine. He has developed a supplement called Niteworks that is distributed by Herbalife. He won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1998 for his research on Nitric Oxide.
To increase nitric oxide, Eat more L-Arginine and L-Citrulline Amino Acids -
Nuts and fruits are the best vegetarian sources of these amino acids, but they also exist in meat and dairy. However, the antioxidants in fruits and nuts also protect the nitric oxide that is created by eating these foods. Citrulline is recycled into L-arginine, which then produces more nitric oxide. and L-Citrulline Amino Acids -

Drink Milk to Keep Bones Strong
Calcium and vitamin D help keep bones strong. Strong bones can keep you on your feet, and prevent falls that can damage joints. Dairy products are the best sources of calcium, but other options are green, leafy vegetables like broccoli and kale. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, ask your doctor about supplements.

Product Description
"The doctor of the future will prescribe no medicine, but will want to educate their patients in the care of the body, proper diet, and disease prevention." ~ Thomas A. Edison. What was old, is very new again. Food is medicine, and the foods we eat can either help us maintain our health, or be a principal cause of illness. The epidemics of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, digestive disorders, cancers and even Alzheimers disease, have been associated with the increase consumption of nutrition poor, highly processed, inexpensive and easily acquired fast foods and snacks that taste great, but that are loaded with fats and sugars. Food production has become industrialized and utilizes an assortment of chemical additives. Chemical toxins given the name of obesogens are being identified as another contributor to the increased levels of obesity, as well as to obesity related diseases. The increased amounts of food we eat, the lower nutritional quality of the food production and a decrease in levels of physical activity has changed society and has made the United States a country where a third to forty percent of the children are overweight or obese.

Homocysteine: Can High Homocysteine Levels Be Prevented?
It is reasonable for high-risk patients with high homocysteine levels to increase their intake of B vitamins.
These vitamins can be found in a wide variety of fruits, green, leafy vegetables, and grain products fortified with folic acid.

How B Vitamins May Prevent Stroke-Study
The head of stroke research at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, James F. Toole, says the real culprit behind stroke is homocysteine, not cholesterol. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. and is a major cause of disability. What's more, stroke prevention may be as simple as taking three B vitamins involved with homocysteine's metabolism.
He is coordinating a large international clinical trial with 57 institutions in North America and Scotland. Since 1997, the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention (VISP) trial has involved 3,200 participants with high blood levels of homocysteine, who all recently experienced a stroke. They are are being given high or low doses of vitamin B12, B6, and folic acid.7
In another study of nearly 500 white and African-American women age 15 to 44, the increased risk for stroke because of homocysteine was similar to that of smoking a pack of cigarettes per day. "We found that younger women who had the highest levels of homocysteine had double the risk of stroke compared to women with lower levels," says Steven J. Kittner, M.D., M.P.H., professor of neurology, epidemiology, and preventive medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.8

Uses of sorghum 高梁
Info source : http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/afcm/sorghum.html
Uses of sorghum:
Worldwide, sorghum is a food grain for humans. In the United States, sorghum is used primarily as a feed grain for livestock.
Feed value of grain sorghum is similar to corn. The grain has more protein and fat than corn, but is lower in vitamin A. When compared with corn on a per pound basis, grain sorghum feeding value ranges from 90% to nearly equal to corn.
The grain is highly palatable to livestock, and intake seldom limits livestock productivity. However, some sorghum varieties and hybrids which were developed to deter birds are less palatable due to tannins and phenolic compounds in the seed. The grain should be cracked or rolled before feeding to cattle; this improves the portion digested.
Pasturing cattle or sheep on sorghum stubble, after the grain has been harvested, is a common practice. Both roughage and dropped heads are utilized. Stubble with secondary growth must be pastured carefully because of the danger of prussic acid (HCN) poisoning.
Grain sorghum may also be used as whole-plant silage, however another sorghum, sweet sorghum, was developed as a silage crop. Sweet sorghum produces much higher forage yields than grain sorghum, but feed quality will likely be lesser because there is no grain. Some growers mix grain sorghum with soybeans to produce a higher protein silage crop.

What is gluten?
Info source:
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a two-part protein composite that is found in many grains, but most famously in wheat. It consists of a prolamin and a glutelin. Prolamins are storage proteins, and they are the “hardware stores” of the wheat structure that distribute amino acids central to the plant’s development. Glutelin is the “glue” that holds these hardware stores together. These proteins are essential to the existence of these grains, but as we’ll explore further, that is also the same characteristic that makes them so harmful to our bodies.
