Calories DO count on Shabbat...You're not going to believe how many we consume on the Sabbath.

7/28/2014

Excerpt taken from article originally published in the CJN (Canadian Jewish News, July 24h, 2014)

People often say, “Calories do not count on Shabbat.” The reality is that our caloric intake on Shabbat is not just high…it’s astronomical. Prepare to be shocked as I present to you the average amount of calories consumed on any given Sabbath.

Before we can start the caloric calculation there are some essential nutritional facts you need to know. Firstly, most adults need to consume anywhere between 2000 and 3000 calories a day. Woman and smaller less active people need fewer calories. Men and bigger more active people need more calories. If you are eating more than the proper amount calories for your gender, size, and activity level your weight will increase. Being overweight is one of the strongest risk factors for developing heart disease, diabetes and various cancers. The key point here - consuming too many calories on Shabbat may negatively affect your health.

Everyone differs in the amount of food they consume. Some people really binge while others eat more average portions of everything being served. Others won’t eat everything being presented and are far pickier. I decided to calculate the total calories consumed during Shabbat based on what I considered to be an average Shabbat meal plan by an average eater – normal portions of every food offered during each Sabbath meal. The truth of course that caloric intake will varies greatly for each person depending on what you eat and how much; I therefore strongly recommend you calculate your own personal Shabbat caloric intake. You can do this using the following web based tool: http://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-food-calorie-counter

Let’s begin the calculation.

Total Caloric Assessment of Shabbat Meals:

Dinner: 1 roasted breast of roasted chicken with skin (276) 2 pieces of Challah (160) 1 serving of brisket (327), 1 portion of Mixed green Salad with Italian dressing (87) 1 portion of gefilte fish (77), 1 cup of wine (83), ½ cup of concord grape juice (70), matzo ball soup (118), 1 portion of rice (111), 1 serving of marinated green bean salad (157), 1 portion of chocolate cake (352), 1 chocolate chip cookie (49)

Dinner Total Calories: 1867

Kiddush: 1 chocolate chip cookie (49), 1 bowl of meat Cholent, (253) 1 serving of potato kugel (299) 1 small cup of soda (coke)(182), 3 pieces of herring, (120) 4 Tam Tam crackers (60) 1 shot of scotch (97), 2 carrot slices and a piece of red pepper (8)

Kiddush Total Calories: 1068

Lunch: 2 pieces of Challah (160), 1 serving of Cholent, (253) 1 chicken leg, (241) 1 servings of strawberry and spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing (250), 1 serving of baked 3oz salmon (150), 1 serving of quinoa salad (222), 1 serving of potato kugel (299) 1 glass of Moscato white wine (123), ½ cup of concord grape juice (70), 1 cup of Tropicana orange juice (110), 1 portion of Toffuti vanilla ice cream (130), 1 portion of chocolate cake (352)

Lunch Total Calories: 2360

Third meal: 1 Challah bun (172), ½ cup serving of tuna salad (191) ½ cup serving of egg salad (222), 3 pieces of herring, (120), 1 serving of coleslaw salad (100), 2 tbsp of Hummus (30)

Third meal Total: 835

Total Caloric Intake on Shabbat without Third Meal: 5295

Total Caloric Intake on Shabbat with Third Meal: 6130

There you have it! On Shabbat the average eater consumes 6000+ calories!! That is about 3X the amount recommended for the average person. Where will all these extra calories go? They will become unwanted fat. Excess weight equals a greater risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and some cancers later in life. We need take control of our Sabbath eating habits if we want to stay healthy. Next time you feel the need to eat everything being served on Shabbat remember, ”Calories Do really count on Shabbat!”

Eczema on the Rise in Israel: Can Naturopathic Medicine Help?

5/22/2014

1 Comment

A week does not go by when someone does not bring his or her child into my Jerusalem based office for treatment of Eczema (also termed Atopic Dermatitis). This skin condition is located primarily on the face, back of the knees, wrists, hands, or feet. It is almost always itchy. It is often red and inflamed and can become infected. It may be hard to believe but sometimes its is so severe people seek emergency medical treatment in hospitals. I have had a few patients who were hospitalized at Hadassah for this condition.

Eczema is on the rise in all first world countries. The prevalence of eczema has doubled or tripled in industrialized countries during the past three decades. In Israel, atopic eczema was found to be increasing [from 5.9% (1997) to 8.7% (2003). No one knows precisely what causes eczema or why it is becoming more prevalent in western societies. While first world countries decreased steadily in the number of cases of infectious disease, there has been a yearly increase in cases of allergic (atopic) diseases.

Research has shown eczema to have a clear genetic component, as a child with parents having either eczema, asthma or hay fever will be far more likely to develop eczema or one of these other atopic/allergic conditions.

I am writing this article to give my perspective on what alternative medicine has to offer children and adults with eczema. Although what causes eczema is not known, much research has been done looking at alternative treatments and their effectiveness. Some of these studies shed light on what is going on in the body with people who have eczema. My hope in this article is to expose you to some real evidenced based treatment options and give some new insights about the disease.

Western Treatment Options:

Before we begin with alternative medicine, lets consider the options our western medical doctors offer. In truth, treatment options are limited, with some having unwanted side effects. The two main options are emollient therapy - moisturizers – and topical steroid creams, which suppress the skin's immune response. Topical steroids are a common first line of defence and may be necessary to deal with the severe symptoms of eczema. However, Naturopathic Medicine strives to treat the cause of the disease, not only the symptoms.

The Triggers:

Anxiety and stress, arid climates, irritants, allergens and infections are all known triggers of eczema. Food allergies and early food introduction are big culprits. 35-40% of children with eczema have food allergies. Eggs are the most common allergen along with milk, peanuts, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, tree nuts and citrus fruits – all accounting for 90% of food allergies in eczematous children.

Does It Ever Go Away?

The good news is that approximately 50% of children will no longer be troubled by eczema by the age of 2 and 80% cent by the age of 5. The bad news is there is no cure for eczema except to reduce occurrences and control the disease.

Prevention

Babies are born to be breastfeed. Breast milk contains over 100 hundred substances not found in formula but are vital to normal development and function of your child’s immune system. Breast milk contains gamma-linoleic acid that is particularly important for babies with a family history of eczema. Recent trials have found that breast fed babies have reduced or delayed incidence of atopic diseases such as eczema, allergies and asthma and conclude that eczema tends to occur more in bottle-fed babies.

Things To Consider

Interestingly research has shown that children with poor hygiene are at a lower risk for developing eczema, as are children who drink unpasteurized milk. These findings align with a theory called the ‘Hygiene Hypothesis’, which postulates that a lack of early childhood exposure to infectious agents, bacteria and parasites increases susceptibility to allergic diseases by suppressing the natural development of the immune system. Our overly clean environments in the industrialized world may be backfiring on us. This theory has yet to be conclusively shown to be the cause of eczema, but it is definately something to consider.

Naturopathic Understanding of Eczema:

It is believed in the alternative medical world that inherited eczema may be related to a disturbance how the body deals with essential fatty acids. It has been suggested that people with eczema have a problem with the enzyme called delta-6-desaturase, which is critical to the conversion of omega-6 fatty acids to various other important fatty acids. For people with a genetic disposition to this problem, over-consumption of refined processed foods and saturated fats can become a major trigger. Also food allergy is believed to play a major role in eczema. Many studies have pointed specifically to cows milk and eggs as a major trigger. One study I saw showed 80% improvement in children after being off these foods for 4 weeks.

Naturopathic Treatments For Eczema:

Food Allergy: Addressing food allergies and using elimination diets and then food challenges to find the trigger foods is critically important for dealing with eczema. This however, should only be done with the supervision of a nutritionist, naturopathic or dietician. This is especially important in children, who need proper minerals and vitamins from foods to grow. For instance, when we take children off dairy and eggs without knowing what else to feed them we can compromise their development. As well, some children with very bad cases of eczema have been found to become even more allergic to a food when it is removed from the diet and then reintroduced, and there have been a few cases of severe life threatening allergic reactions. For this reason, this approach may not be safe in all cases. It is important then to find a qualified health practitioner to supervise and guide you through these dietary changes.

Often people with Eczema come to see me after they find that the tests with their allergist did find any IgE food allergy. In Jerusalem, I am one of the few practitioners that provides IgG Food intolerance testing. I have found time and again that this test is effective for finding the food that is triggering a patients eczema.

Fatty Acids: As mentioned above, biochemical evaluations of patients with eczema have demonstrated abnormalities of fatty acid metabolism. Supplementation with oils such as evening primrose oil, sunflower oil, flaxseed oil, borage oil, fish oil and hempseed oil has all shown to have very positive effects on reducing symptoms of eczema. Each has different amounts of the essential fatty acids so you may need to do some experimenting till you find the right one. I often use flaxseed oil with my patients and have seen good results.

Nickel Sensitivity: Contact with Nickel is a known cause of eczema. An allergist can test for this sensitivity. What is less known is that even ingestion of foods high in nickel or nickel that has leached into food from stainless steel cookware can trigger eczema in people sensitive to nickel.

Environment: Improving your environment by removing dust mites from the home, washing linens weekly in hot water, avoiding carpeted bedrooms and adding a humidifier to combat dry air can all help reduce eczema symptoms and lower the incidence of relapses.

Herbal Medicine: There are many herbs that are used to support the immune system and reduce inflammation. These include Chamomile and Echinacea. Chickweed is an excellent cooling remedy for hot inflammatory skin conditions. Eczema associated with stress or anxiety can benefit from herbs that support the nervous system such as lemon balm, chamomile or vervain. Local herbal applications can be very soothing and can help resolve inflammation and infection. Licorice gel in a recent double blind trial was found to be beneficial & “Kamillosan” containing chamomile was found to be slightly superior to 0.5% hydrocortisone. Ask your local herbalist about these products to see whether they are right for your case of eczema.

Baths: Soaking in baths for 15-20 minutes daily helps to retain moisture. But it is important to dry off completely and immediately coat the skin with a naturally based emollient cream or ointment. Because eczema predisposes your child’s skin to weakness, it is less able to retain water and can cause shrinking and cracking of the skin. I often recommend an oatmeal bath because it really soothe the skin well when there is extreme itching. Premade oatmeal bath packets are available for purchase. For weeping or infected eczema, naturopathic treatments are available and it is best to consult your doctor to ensure the infection can be well managed.

Eczema is on the rise and there is very little that western medicine can do to treat the cause. I hope that this article has shown that alternative medicine has much to offer in this regard, much of which has research behind it to show its effectiveness. It may well be time to consider the natural alternative!

How to Eat in the Winter to Avoid Colds and Flus

12/17/2013

0 Comments

I am writing this from my home in Jerusalem. We have just encountered the most intense snow storm in the last 100 years. People are without heat and power and it has been like this for days. I have had time to reflect on how grateful I am for electricity, for heat and for food.

Winter is the time when we are most vulnerable to getting sick most due to the cold weather. Chinese medicine was well aware of the seasonal changes and they knew how to adapt to prevent illness. Their perspective was to keep the body strong during the winter and to avoid colds. Chinese medicine suggest avoiding raw foods during the winter as much as possible, as these tend to cool the body, and which weaken our immune system.

During winter you should emphasize warming, nurturing foods like:

·       Soups and stews

·       Root vegetables

·       Beans

·       Miso and seaweed

·       Garlic and ginger

Eating warm hearty soups, whole grains, and roasted nuts can help to warm the bodies core and to keep us healthy.

Chicken soup in particular has been clinically proven to be help improve immune function. A study showed that chicken soup increased the number of white blood cells (our immune cells).

If you keep this advice in mind you will definately improve your chances of having a winter without illness.

To Health this Winter,

Dr. Anders Nerman, N.D.

Happy Hippy Popcorn: Nutritional Yeast is High in Vitamin B12

10/22/2013

0 Comments

Nutritional Yeast has a pleasant nutty flavor and is packed with proteins and B vitamins. It comes in flakes or powder and is popular with vegans and healthy people who use it to make cheese substitutes, gravies, and many other dishes. What most people do not know is that it is the best topping for popcorn – because not only does it taste awesome but is a good remedy for low mood.

I like to call Nutritional Yeast – “Happy Flakes” or “Happy Hippy Dust” because the high B-vitamin status namely B12 and folic acid have a chemical effect on helping build neurotransmitters needed for better mood and energy. Also these B-Vitamins are helpful for stress reduction and sleep.

Nutritional Yeast also contains amino acids and 15 minerals including iron, magnesium, phorphorus, zinc, and chromium, and selenium. Minerals such as chromium assist in regulating blood sugar which is important for diabetics. Plus, nutritional yeast also contains a high amount of fiber, which eliminates constipation and helps lower cholesterol.

So get some Nutritional Yeast and sprinkle that magic hippy dust all over your popcorn or anything else you might want to eat for a happy hippy boost! Once you start you won't be able to stop. Trust me...I am eating it as I am writing this blog...in my Naturopathic office in Jerusalem. Yum.

Pomegranate Powers!

9/4/2013

0 Comments

Photograph by Anders Nerman Artist Colony of Jerusalem, Israel

This post is an excerpt from an article I wrote for English Update Magazine in the Sept 1, Vol.4 #143

Pomegranates are popping up everywhere in Israel this time of year. They are amazingly beautiful to see and are a sign that the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) is coming. There is a tradition to eat them on the first night of Rosh Hashanah as a siman (sign) that the coming year we will have an “increase in our merits”. It is one of the Shivat Haminim, the Seven Species for which the Land of Israel is praised. Personally, I think there should be a tradition to eat them all year round because they’re also extremely good for our health! Let’s start our new year off right with a discussion about the powerful medicinal properties of pomegranates.

Anti-inflammatory - Pomegranate seeds possess anti-inflammatory properties – they inhibit enzymes (cyclooxygenase and lipooxygenase) that are responsible for inflammation. Tylenol also works in this way. Eating pomegranate is a good choice for easing the pain associated with osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, or any other chronic inflammatory conditions.

Anti-osteoarthritis: Besides being able to block inflammation that causes pain in osteoarthritis, researchers believe that pomegranate can help block inflammation that contributes to the destruction of cartilage. In test tubes, extract of pomegranate blocked the production of an enzyme that destroys cartilage in the body.

Anti-aging – A glass of pomegranate juice a day could keep the wrinkles away, according to a study that showed it slowed down the ageing process of DNA. Researchers found that the antioxident rich juice also slowed down the natural oxidation ('wear and tear') of DNA. The results found a significant decrease in a marker associated with cell damage that disrupts brain, muscle, liver and kidney functions, as well as speeding up the aging process.

Heart protector - At Technion University, Israel’s Institute of technology, it was shown that pomegranate juice has heart protective, immune enhancing properties similar to those in green tea. Pomegranate has also been shown to lower bad LDL cholesterol and raise good HDL cholesterol. One study of mice with atherosclerosis showed that pomegranate juice slowed the growth of arterial plaque formation. A few small studies in people found that pomegranate juice improved blood flow and kept arteries from becoming thick and stiff, which causes high blood pressure. Pomegranate also lowers blood pressure, mainly systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading).

Menopause: In the Middle east there is a tradition to use pomegranates to treat menopause. It has been shown recently to play a role in preventing and treating estrogen-related cancers.

It is the only plant in the world that contains estrone, which is produced from progestrone, estrodiol and androgens. Estrone is often the main source of estrogen in postmenopausal women or women who have had their ovaries removed. Post-menopausal women would greatly benefit from pomegranates to relieve the common symptoms of menopause.

Hormone Balancing - Also pomegranates alter the estrogen receptors, altering the effect of all the excess estrogen in the environment, which is important in North America and Israel were women are overloaded by environmental estrogens which leads to estrogen dominance.

Anti-cancer: In test tubes, pomegranate extracts made from juice, rind, and oil slow down the reproduction of cancer cells and hastened their death. Some extracts also help reduce blood supply to tumors, starving them and making them smaller. In one human study, men who had undergone surgery or radiation for prostate cancer and drank 8 oz. of pomegranate juice a day, effected the amount of time it took for their PSA levels to double. Men whose PSA levels double in a short period of time are more at risk for death from prostate cancer. If you are being treated for any cancer, be sure to ask your oncologist before you take pomegranate or any herb or supplement. Some may interact with cancer medications, making the medications less effective.

Immune Enhancing: Pomegranate fruit is very high in vitamin C. One pomegranate provides about 40% of the daily requirement of this vitamin, juice would provide even more. Vitamin C is important for a functional immune system. C and it helps wounds heal and skin maintain its elasticity.

How to Take It: There is no standard recommended dose for pomegranate. Eating the fruit and drinking the juice as part of a healthy diet is considered safe. Juice is probably a more cost effective way to get the health benefits. Drinking 8 - 12 oz. of pomegranate juice per day is considered safe. Look for 100% juice with no added sugar.

Possible Interactions and Precautions:

Pomegranate may trigger side effects when it is taken with some herbs, supplements, or medications. Theoretically, pomegranate juice may interact with several medications (much like grapefruit juice does). For that reason, be sure to tell your doctor if you drink pomegranate juice. If you have diabetes, ask your doctor before drinking fruit juices, including pomegranate. If you have diarrhea, do not drink pomegranate juice or take pomegranate extract. Pregnant women should not take pomegranate extract because it may contain fruit rind. The juice, however, is considered safe.

I would highly recommend a handful of Pomegranate seeds or a glass of Pomegranate juice each day as a great addition to your diet. Have a Happy and Healthy New year!

Drink Coffee? Here are some reasons why that is a BAD idea.

7/16/2013

0 Comments

I am sitting in my office in Jerusalem with a really big headache. You know the kind – the “I am trying to get off coffee” kind. Most of my life I was not a coffee drinker but at some point during Medical School I just needed a pick-me-up --- and so began the long term relationship with coffee. 6 years and approximately 4000 cups of coffee later and am beginning to wonder why I need more and more coffee and why I am so tired all the time.

As a naturopathic doctor we are supposed to live what we preach and sadly, in regards to coffee consumption, I am a bit of a hypocrite. The naturopathic profession always spoke about how bad coffee was for a persons health. I write this post not only for the health conscious reader, but also for myself as I try to kick this habit. As with all addictions - education is needed to create awareness that eventually will lead to a change. Hopefully this post will help us stop drinking coffee – which we love (cause its so tasty) -- but which apparently is not very healthy---here's why:

What is it about Coffee that makes it so desirable?

Coffee contains Caffeine. We all know that it is an addictive substance, that is not news. But what we don’t talk about is how it is a potentially toxic drug. Caffeine is in coffee, green tea, black tea, chocolate, coke and other soft drinks. The average cup of drop coffee contains 136 milligrams of caffeine per cup. Three cups per day (my latest average) means one is consuming more than 500 milligrams of caffeine – twice the amount considered a large drug dose. A five minute steeped black tea has between 40-100mg. Coca has 45mg.

Why is Caffeine/Coffee Bad?

Although research has not always been consistent, caffeine has been implicated as a definite or contributing factor in:

·      Reactive hypoglycemia

·      Anxiety

·      Panic attacks

·      Depression

·      Moodiness

·      Insomnia

·      Hypertension

·      Fibrocystic breast changes

·      Impaired fertility

·      Headaches

·      Cardiac arrhythmias

·      Acid reflux

As can be acertained from the above list, coffee is not a good choice for people who have with these concerns or anyone trying to avoid the their development.

Aside from the disease states it can exacerbate or cause, caffeine in coffee causes a host of other problems.

Depletes Magnesium: Caffeine has been noted to block Magnesium from being absorbed in the body, which is a critical mineral involved in relaxing muscles – so you may end up with body aches and pains as a heavy coffee drinker. Note that the Fibromyalgia patients have 20% less magnesium to begin with, so coffee is a really bad idea for people suffering from Fibromyalgia.

Depletes B vitamins: Most common is B1 – responsible for energy metabolism, protein synthesis and nervous system function. Deficiency leads to fatigue, and headaches.

Pesticides: Yes it is unfortunate but true. Growers of coffee use more pesticides on coffee plants than on any other crop.

Nitrosamines: These naturally occurring substances in coffee are the same carcinogens found in bacon and other cured meats.

Trans Fats: The roasting process that brings out coffee aroma converts the oils in coffee to dangerous trans fats.

Dehydration: Caffeine is a diuretic. For each cup of coffee you drink you lose a cup of water. You are not getting any water intake. Think about it.

Adrenal exhaustion: Not feeling the buzz from coffee anymore? You could have adrenal exhaustion. With just 100–200 mg of caffeine (one short cup of drip coffee), your Adrenals begin pumping out stress hormones — epinephrine (aka adrenaline), norepinephrine, and cortisol. This is what enables you to get the boost...but the downside is that overuse of coffee will actually burn out the adrenal gland such that it can not longer make enough of these hormones...and hence you begin to need more and more coffee to have the same effect. In other words...eventually coffee will begin to make you feel MORE tired.

Suppressing Optimal Digestive Functioning: The response of the body to coffee is to NOT "rest and digest" but to shunt blood away from the stomach. Eating food while drinking coffee is therefore not a good idea. Food left in the stomach will ferment, putrify and turn rancid. Nutrients and mineral will not be absorbed.

Acidic: The acidic nature of coffee will over time kill a lot of the healthy bacteria in your stomach. Health problems associated with decreased good bacteria are: acne, constipation, diarrhea, recurring colds and flu’s, colitis, IBS, and fibromyalgia.

Blood Sugar Chaos: Caffeine makes blood sugar levels rise and makes the body release insulin to normalize these effects. This increase in blood sugar is further worsened by adding sugar and milk to your coffee. What happens is that the sugars are rapidly removed from the blood into the cells via the insulin but you are left more sugar deficient in the blood (reactive hypoglycemia) than you started before drinking the coffee....and then you crave more sugar and feel tired shortly after your cup of Joe.

Other bad influences: Temporary stiffening of arteries and mixed effects on short term memory.

What about decaf?

Decaffeinated coffee may contain (depending on the solvent used in the chemical process) a high concentration of tricholoethylene, a potent liver carcinogen. Not good. But you just need to do a bit of research to see which solvent your brand uses.

Is there good news about caffeine?

It is an antioxidant. It also is associated with reduced incidence of certain chronic diseases, namely gallbladder disease, Parkinson’s disease and type 2 diabetes. But green tea has the same effect (at least on reducing the incidence of acquiring diabetes) with much less caffeine and a much wider variety of bioflavnoids, antioxidents and anti cancer properties.

Coffee Alternatives:

Start the process of kicking you caffeine addiction with Green Tea or Herbal Teas. Drink a lot of Water.

What healthy alternatives can I use for improving energy?

There are a lot of healthier ways to support energy production in the body. Diet, nutrition, exercise, certain vitamins and herbs can help you safely support the body as it tries to cope with the rigors and stresses of work and life demands. Adrenal support is a must for everyone who is under stress. Call 054-427-8667 today to book an appointment to get your custom-tailored Stress Support and Energy Boosting Treatment!
