Question 1

what are the disadvantages of a raw food diet?

Accepted Answer

Digestion: Raw food can be more difficult to digest than cooked food.  Par-boiled vegetables can save much of the nutrition and help the digestive process along if needed.  Peace and good health.

Question 2

which is a healthier diet: pescetarian or vegetarian? why?

Accepted Answer

Your choice: The most recent big studies show no differences between vegetarians and omnivores in any category of disease or in longevity when we control for other factors. Vegetarians can claim the moral high ground citing the cruelty of factory farming but a fish-eater can do so as well. Protein's more abundant, and your physician can advise on supplementing for either diet.

Question 3

can you please describe the benefits and disadvantages of high protein diets?

Accepted Answer

Renal failure: A very high protein diet can challange the kidneys to get rid of the protein. If the kidney is unable to rid itself of the protein, you could be on the way to kidney failure. One advantage of a higher protein diet would be to have a little more protein and a little less fat in the diet. The american diet is way too high in saturated fat- leading to heart disease and stroke.

Question 5

how is the dr oz diet?

Accepted Answer

: It is a good diet which you can do on your own as well. What you would have to eat is low dairy fat, low-fat animal protein, fish, plenty of fiber with fruits, vegetables and whole grains. I typically recommend also low gluten in a diet. Basically, it is just eating healthy, buying fresh food and not processed or packaged food and always low fat with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Question 6

cystitist cystica diet?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: Cystitis cystica is a pathologist's curiosity of little or no implication to the person from whose bladder was biopsied. I appreciate that you're taking a proactive approach to your health. But life's difficult enough without people making up dietary advice for non-diseases. If you have something else going on, your physician can advise you. Thanks for asking.
