Food in the proper balance (50% low glycemic carbohydrates, 25% proteins, and 25% essential fats) can have a dramatic positive effect on all systems of the body. Food out of balance can have the equal opposite effect on these vital systems. 50%-25%-25% nutrition reflects the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence of the long term health effect of macro-nutrient ratios.
We know how important low-glycemic carbohydrates are to your health. Protein and essential fats are equally important. The right amount of protein is a critical part of our healthy macro-nutrient balance. Eating too much protein can be harmful for a variety of reason including increased cholesterol, increased risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, kidney dysfunction and osteoporosis. However, protein at 25% of your daily food intake can be a lifesaver. The Harvard Nurse’s Study of 80,000 women revealed that women who consumed 25% of their calories from protein had a 25% lower risk of heart disease than those consuming protein at the 15% level. Likewise, essential fats at the 25% level provide us with all the important benefits of fat but protect us from their dangerous effects on cardiovascular health and certain types of cancer.
