Diet Tips from Dr. Death
Dr. Jack Kevorkian offers diet and exercise advice
Petaluma, CA, July 04, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Recently released convicted murderer Dr. Jack Kevorkian has some anti-aging diet and exercise tips he would like to share with the American people. In an interview he gave to author David Jay Brown in the 2006 book Mavericks of Medicine, Conversations on the Frontiers of Medical Research (Smart Publications, 2006), Dr. Kevorkian shared the following diet advice:
“It is well known that animals generally take their daily food quota by many small feedings, in contrast to a limited number of large meals for most civilized humans. Extensive research on animals has shown that the ingestion of their daily food in five separate portions had a salutary effect on blood cholesterol levels and the development of arterial atherosclerosis.
Even though the single feeders (one large meal a day) ate thirty percent less, their bodies were slightly larger and had a higher percentage of fat when compared to the slightly smaller bodies of multiple feeders (nibblers), having gained relatively heavier muscle mass. It has been estimated that fifty to seventy-five percent of daily human food intake is at the single meal called supper, which alone may account for our tendency to be fatter and flabbier.”
Dr. Kevorkian, who assisted more than 100 terminally ill people to commit suicide and served nearly nine years in prison for second degree murder, also has some exercise advice for Americans.
“Your chosen exercise should fit in well with your own lifestyle, one that you can do throughout life, and that is independent of weather conditions. An indoor activity of some kind would be preferable, perhaps your own individual routine not involving anyone else or any group institution or club. Some forms of exercise are considered to be especially beneficial to health by enhancing cardio-respiratory reserve. Exercise involving the legs is said to be more effective in that regard than exercising the arms or trunk. Jogging, tennis, bicycling, and jumping rope are excellent ways to build up that reserve, but not all of them can be continued uninterruptedly year round without inconvenience.”
Dr. Kevorkian, who lost his medical license in 1993, had an interest in nutrition and health long before he became infamous as “Dr. Death.” In 1978, he self-published a book titled “Slimmericks and the Demi-Diet," which took an amusing tack toward dispensing weight-loss advice by providing common-sense dieting tips and presenting them in limerick form.
David Jay Brown’s interview with Dr. Kevorkian, of which the diet and exercise advice is just a small part, touches on a number of serious topics including euthanasia, Western medicine, and the U.S. government and medical establishment’s opposition to a patent’s right to die.
In addition to the conversation with Dr. Kevorkian, Brown’s book also contains conversations with 20 other maverick anti-aging experts including Andrew Weil, Bernie Siegel, Barry Sears, Ray Kurzweil, and Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw.
