John R. Miles: 本节讨论了非洲乌干达与美国圣路易斯心脏病发病率的巨大差异,这表明饮食和生活方式对心血管健康有显著影响。乌干达的心脏病发病率极低,这与当地居民的饮食习惯有关。而美国的心脏病疫情则与不健康的饮食和生活方式密切相关。 Michael Greger: 作者的祖母通过改变生活方式,从晚期心脏病中康复,这促使作者投身于生活方式干预和促进健康长寿的研究。作者的祖母在被医生宣判死刑后,通过健康饮食,又多活了31年。这说明了健康饮食和生活方式对健康长寿的重要性。西医教育中对营养的重视程度不足,医生缺乏营养方面的知识,这限制了他们运用营养手段改善患者健康的的能力。制药公司对医学教育和实践的影响,以及作者个人经历,促使作者转向关注营养。奥尼什的生活方式心脏试验证明了植物性饮食和生活方式干预可以逆转心脏病,但这一知识并未得到广泛应用。尽管植物性饮食可以预防、阻止和逆转心脏病,但仍有大量的人死于这种可预防的疾病。改变饮食是应对癌症等疾病的最重要方法,因为饮食是美国人死亡的主要原因。虽然饮食干预可以改善胰腺癌患者的生存期,但只能延长几个月,而非几年。 John R. Miles: 许多抗衰老干预措施缺乏科学依据,人们需要谨慎选择。抗衰老产业充斥着各种缺乏科学依据的产品和疗法,人们需要仔细甄别信息。人们通常认为死于“老年”,但实际上,长寿者通常死于具体的疾病,而非衰老本身。衰老是许多疾病的主要风险因素,但如果能延缓衰老,就能降低多种疾病的风险。与其针对每种疾病分别治疗,不如延缓衰老过程,从而降低多种与年龄相关的疾病风险。许多人在50多岁时就患有多种慢性疾病,而这些疾病是可以预防的。健康寿命的概念不仅在于延长寿命,还在于提高生活质量,让人们在健康状态下度过更长的时光。美国人的预期寿命下降,这主要是由于肥胖症导致的糖尿病和其他代谢问题。
