4. Proteins, Carbohydrates
and weight

8.  Carbohydrate-restricted diets work better
than other weight reduction diets, but only
in the short term
 Low fat diets work too
 Both are difficult to maintain for very long
periods

 Replace high-energy foods and empty
calories (sodas, creams, junk food) with
low-energy foods (fruit & veg.) and water
 Replace refined cereals (white bread) with
wholegrain products and legumes
 Replace (refined) carbohydrate with
(unsaturated) fats can help, but no need to
make extreme choices
 Increase physical activity

9. Antioxidants

12.  The concentration of antioxidants from food
reaches very low levels in the organism (much
lower than glutathione)
 Not all oxidative processes happening inside the
body are necessarily negative

 Bioactive substances in fruit and vegetables
might work through mechanisms other than
protection from oxidation and at low
concentrations: no need to use supplements and
supplemented foods!

13. Dairy Products &
Bone health

15. ALLEGATIONS TO DAIRY
PRODUCTS
 Milk contains a lot of sulphur
aminoacids, which could generate
sulfur acid inside the body
 A more acidic body pH causes
release of calcium from bones and
its excretion with urine
 Dairy products should not be
recommended to people with
osteoporosis

16.  Dairy products do not cause bone decalfication
HOWEVER
 The consumption of dairy products should be
limited
 Calcium can be obtained from vegetable
sources including cabbages and
broccoli, nuts, legumes

17. The Mediterranean diet
