Dr. Kim Williams, president of the American College of Cardiology and chief of cardiology at Rush University, advocates a plant-based diet for heart disease prevention in 2003. As one of the most high-profile cardiologists in the country, Dr. Williams made news and some controversy when he wrote an article supporting a vegan diet in a Medscape column last year.

Santuario Gaia, Ismael and Samuel (Catalonia,Spain) Vegan Sanctuary
List of animal sanctuarieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animal_sanctuariesThe mission of sanctuaries is generally to be safe havens, where the animals receive the best care that the sanctuaries can provide. Animals are not bought, sold, or traded, nor are they used for animal testing. The resident animals are given the opportunity to behave as natural as possible in a protective environment.
How to thrive on a vegan dietWell-planned vegan diets contain all the nutrients we need to remain strong and healthy. When people go vegan, they often eat more fruit and vegetables, and enjoy meals higher in fibre and lower in saturated fat.
The Vegan Plate
How does your diet compare to The Vegan Plate by Dietitians Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina? Apart from the fact that it shows only animal-free items, you will notice some differences between this image and the UK’s Eatwell Guide. The Vegan Plate shows that sources of calcium are found in many food groups. It draws attention to the importance of beans, lentils, chickpeas, nuts and seeds in a healthy diet. The Vegan Plate also highlights that it is essential to get enough vitamin B12, vitamin D, omega-3 fat and iodine. You will notice that there is no mention of high fat, high sugar processed foods. There are many animal-free items that fall into this group, but they are not an essential part of a varied and balanced vegan diet. Limiting your intake of processed food will help you to maximise the quality of your diet.
Balancing food groupsThe table below gives you an idea of how to balance your vegan diet:
Food group
Suggested intake
Fruit and vegetables (fresh, tinned, frozen or dried), including orange varieties and leafy greens
At least 5 x 80g portions per day (30g for dried fruit)
Starchy foods – ideally higher fibre choices, such as oats, sweet potato, wholemeal bread, wholewheat pasta and brown rice
Every meal
Protein-rich foods, such as beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, soya alternatives to milk and yoghurt and peanuts
Most meals
Nuts and seeds, especially those rich in omega-3 fat
Daily
Calcium-rich foods, such as calcium-fortified foods and calcium-set tofu
Examples that could be included in your daily diet:
400ml of calcium-fortified plant milk provides about two thirds of the recommended daily intake for adults
100g of calcium-set tofu (raw weight) might provide about half of the recommended daily intake for adults
Vegan lifestyle guide
The tips below will help you to get the most out of your vegan lifestyle:
Make sure that your diet contains a variety of fruit and vegetables – eat a rainbow!
Choose higher fibre starchy foods, such as oats, sweet potato, wholemeal bread, wholewheat pasta and brown rice
Include good sources of protein in most meals, such as beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, soya alternatives to milk and yoghurt, or peanuts
Eat nuts and seeds daily, especially those rich in omega-3 fat
Eat calcium-rich foods daily, such as calcium-fortified products and calcium-set tofu
Ensure that your diet contains a reliable source of vitamin B12 (either fortified foods or a supplement)
Ensure that your diet contains a reliable source of iodine (arguably a supplement is the best option)
Everyone in UK should consider a vitamin D supplement during autumn and winter, and year-round supplementation should be considered by people who do not regularly expose their skin to sunlight, and those with darker skin
Use small amounts of spread and oil high in unsaturated fats, such as vegetable (rapeseed) and olive oils
Season food with herbs and spices instead of salt
Drink about six to eight glasses of fluid a day
Consider a supplement containing long chain omega-3 fats from microalgae, particularly for infants and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding
Check out our information about vitamins B12 and D, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and omega-3 fats to make sure that you are getting enough
Keep active
Maintain a healthy weight, or lose some weight if it is above the healthy range

Recommendations from Dietitian Jack Norris
Please discuss the use of supplements with a health professional to help ensure that they are suitable for you.
If you have health concerns that you think may be related to your diet, please ask your doctor for a referral to a registered dietitian for individual support.

http://www.nationearth.com/Alkaline diet Alkaline diet (also known as the alkaline ash diet, alkaline acid diet, acid ash diet, and the acid alkaline diet) describe a group of loosely related diets that claim different types of food can have an effect on the pH balance of the body . It originated from theories related to osteoporosis research, however, most proponents of the diet maintain the incorrect belief that certain foods can affect the acidity (pH) of the body and therefore be used to treat or prevent disease. Though some have noted that eating unprocessed foods as this diet recommends having health benefits unrelated to Bodily pH.
These diets have been promoted by alternative medicine practitioners, with the proposal that such diets treat or prevent cancer, heart disease, and low energy levels as well as other illnesses. Human blood is regulated at pH 7.35 to 7.45. Levels above 7.45 are referred to as alkalosis and levels below 7.35 acidosis. Both are potentially serious, and the body has acid-base homeostasis mechanisms that generally ensure this does not happen. The idea that these diets can materially affect blood pH for the purpose of treating a range of diseases is not supported by scientific research and makes incorrect assumptions about how alkaline diets function that are contrary to human physiology.
Diets avoiding meat, poultry, cheese, and grains may be used in order to make the urine more alkaline (higher pH). However, difficulties in effectively predicting the effects of this diet have led to medications, rather than diet modification, as the preferred method of changing urine pH. The "acid-ash" hypothesis was once considered a risk factor for osteoporosis.
History
The role of the diet and its influence on the acidity of urine has been studied for decades, as physiologists have studied the kidney's role in the body's regulatory mechanisms for controlling the acidity of body fluids. The French biologist Claude Bernard provided the classical observation of this effect when he found that changing the diet of rabbits from an herbivore (mainly plant) diet to a carnivore (mainly meat) diet changed the urine from more alkaline to more acid. Spurred by these observations, subsequent investigations focused on the chemical properties and acidity of constituents of the remains of foods combusted in a bomb calorimeter, described as ash. The "dietary ash hypothesis" proposed that these foods, when metabolized, would leave a similar "acid ash" or "alkaline ash" in the body as those oxidized in combustion.
Nutrition scientists began to refine this hypothesis in the early 20th century, emphasizing the role of negatively charged particles (anions) and positively charged particles (cations) in food. Diets high in chloride, phosphate and sulfate (all of which are anions) were presumed to be acid forming, while diets high in potassium, calcium and magnesium (all of which are cations) were presumed to be alkaline forming. Other investigations showed specific foods, such as cranberries, prunes and plums had unusual effects on urine pH. While these foods provided an alkaline ash in the laboratory, they contain a weak organic acid, hippuric acid, which caused the urine to become more acidic instead.
Dr. Robert O. Young and Shelley Redford Young have supported the health of thousands of people with their revolutionary alkaline diet and lifestyle. This alkalizing diet and scientific approach—known as The New Biology

Dr. Morse has always sought to speak the truth, and to bring that truth to those who are ready to hear it. Over the years this has become a delicate balance, to bring the light and the truth while remaining out of the crosshairs of those with a vested interest in keeping the public in a chronic state of disease and suffering.
