Diet, Lifestyle And Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer in men in the UK and about two thirds of all PC cases occur in high income countries. Individuals who migrate from low incidence countries acquire the risk of their new country. This provides us with suggestive evidence that environmental and lifestyle factors contribute to PC risk, with dietary factors also being implicated.

Why We Do Not Recommend The Carnivore Diet  The carnivore diet, which consists exclusively of animal-based foods, has gained popularity in recent years. While some proponents claim it offers numerous health benefits, many of these claims lack scientific backing. Here are ten key reasons why we do not recommend the carnivore diet.

Imagine if the UK's National Health Service (NHS) could save billions of pounds simply by changing what patients eat. Dr. Shireen Kassam, a renowned consultant hematologist, is on a mission to make this a reality. As a featured guest on the NHA Health Science Podcast, hosted by Dr. Frank Sabatino, she discusses her ongoing efforts to revolutionize healthcare in the UK by advocating for plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine. Pushing for Change in the NHS: A Tough Road Ahead In 2022, Dr. Kassam made headlines when she argued for integrating plant-based lifestyle medicine into the NHS. The potential impact? A massive reduction in healthcare costs and a healthier population. But influencing a system as large and complex as the NHS is no small feat. “We try to get the message out, but it's tough to reach the people in power,” Dr. Kassam explains. “It's about starting grassroots movements, building awareness, and slowly turning the tide.” Despite the challenges, her nonprofit organization, Plant-Based Health Professionals UK, is pushing forward, spreading the message of how plant-based diets can prevent and reverse chronic diseases. A Bold New Campaign: Plants First Healthcare One of the most exciting initiatives Dr. Kassam is leading the Plants First Healthcare campaign that launched to coincide with World Food Day. This groundbreaking campaign aims to make plant-based meals the default in UK healthcare institutions. It's inspired by the success of New York City hospitals, which have already adopted greener, plant-based menus. The campaign includes a detailed policy report from the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change and an open letter to all healthcare institutions in the UK. Dr. Kassam hopes to spark meaningful changes that will improve patient outcomes and reduce the environmental impact of the healthcare system. Full post: www.HealthScience.org/106-Dr-Shireen-Kassam 

This week in the Nutshell we have the honour of welcoming back our first ever guest, founder of Plant-Based Health Professionals U.K. and Consultant Haematologist, Dr Shireen Kassam. This episode is released on World Food Day to highlight the problem with poor diets globally and how our current food system is at the intersection of the health and climate crises.  Shireen talks us through the last six years since founding the Plant-Based Health Professionals U.K. We hear how the organisation is involved in ongoing education, including the provision of courses in medical schools, conducting research projects as well as  spearheading campaigns working towards changing the food system within the NHS. We discuss the 'Plants First Healthcare' campaign, which is calling on all NHS hospitals and organisations across the UK to adopt a 'plant-based by default' food menu, to improve health outcomes, reduce pandemic risk, limit antibiotic resistance and decrease food costs. We cover so much in this interview- including how, as individuals, we can all get involved - whether we are healthcare professionals or not. And of course we finish off with hearing what Shireen is eating for her delicious plant-based dinner tonight!

Is your plate making you and the planet sick? Dr. Shireen Kassam shares that a plant-based diet is the optimal way to improve your and the planetary health. She shares evidence that eating plant-based nutrition and avoiding animal products can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases. She also discusses how shifting to a more plant-heavy food system would help reduce the environmental harm caused by industrial animal agriculture. Tune in to learn the science behind plant-based nutrition and get tips for transitioning to a healthier and more sustainable way of eating!   In this episode, we talk about: How Dr. Shireen became interested in plant-based nutrition The health benefits of plant-based diets in preventing chronic diseases Evidence that plant-based diets are better for the environment  The NHS in the UK should provide more plant-based meals in hospitals to improve health Common myths around plant-based diets Is plant-based diets suitable for people of all ages Best ways to make the transition from a standard diet to a plant-based diet How can healthcare practitioners help provide information and support to clients interested in plant-based nutrition   Memorable Quotes “A diet centered around fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds, lots of herbs and spices for flavor, and mainly water for thirst is one that has been known for decades now to be associated with lower rates of all of our common chronic conditions.”   “Without a healthy planet, we have no healthy people. And it's absolutely clear that our food system is one of the key drivers of both the climate crisis and the ecological crisis.”   BIO:  Dr Shireen Kassam is a Consultant Haematologist and Honorary Senior Lecturer at King's College Hospital, London with a specialist interest in the treatment of lymphoma.

In London, op het congres van Compassion in World Farming en iPES Food, interview ik Dokter Shireen Kassam. Shireen is hematoloog. Zij bestudeert ziekten van het bloed, met een specialisatie in lymfenklierkanker. Maar de laatste jaren is ze zich gaan verdiepen in het effect van voeding, en dan vooral Plantaardige voeding, op het genezen én het voorkomen van ziekten. Ze deed een extra studie, leefstijlgeneeskunde, en richtte daarna de organisatie Plant-Based Health Professionals UK op. Daarmee onderwijst ze artsen en gezondheidsprofessionals over de effecten van een vegan voedingspatroon. Recent schreef ze samen met haar zus, die ook kankerarts is, het boek: Eating Plant-Based: Scientific Answers to Your Nutrition Questions. Een uitgelezen kans om eens even de diepte in te gaan op de gezondheidsaspecten van een plantaardig dieet. Dit interview is in ‘t engels. Deze aflevering: Waarom is Shireen, als kankerarts, zich gaan specialiseren in voeding? Op welk dieet blijven mensen het langst gezond? Zijn plantaardige proteinen even goed als dierlijke? Hoe belangrijk is vitamine B12? Is plantaardig eten slecht voor je botten? Hoe zit het met zwangere vrouwen, jonge kinderen en oudere mensen? Hebben ziekenhuispatiënten dierlijke proteïnen nodig? Hoe voorkom je, als voorvechter van plantaardige voeding, een tunnelvisie? Meer info? Website Plant-Based Health Professionals UK:  https://plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com/Plantbased Health online: https://plantbasedhealthonline.com/Credits:Gasten: Shireen Kassam, Plant-Based Health Professionals UK, Presentatie: Esther Molenwijk, Bureau DaadWerkAudio en design: Marlon van der Pas, Nothing BlankMet dank aan de organisatoren van het Extinction or Regeneration congres: Compassion in World Farming:  https://www.ciwf.nl/IPES Food: https://www.ipes-food.org/Help ons het plantaardige nieuws te verspreiden: deel deze podcast.

This really is a special episode of Money and Plants. Who knew, there are 375,000 new cancer diagnosis every single year in the UK. 1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime, and breast, colon, and lung cancer account for 50% of all cancers. In this episode I get to speak to the wonderful and hugely passionate Dr Shireen Kassam, a consultant haematologist and honorary senior lecturer at the Kings College in London, about all things cancer. Dr Kassam has been working in this field for many years, and is also the founding member of Plant based health professionals UK www.plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com and also set up a brand new plant based healthcare service in the form of www.plantbasedhealthonline.com Cancer is a horrendous disease, and has caused so much destruction over the years right across society, but did you know that 4 out of every 10 cancers can actually be prevented, if only 1. we understood the disease better, how it works and develops, and 2. we make and stick to changes in our lifestyle including what we eat, how we move, think and interact with people (change our environment). A vegan and plant based doctor herself, Conor asks Dr Kassam about the role inflammation plays in cancer, how to reduce this, what about alcohol - does this impact cancer? Vitamin D also, did you know how important it is for people living with cancer to supplement vitamin D? All of this and much more in this week's episode of Money and Plants, which I'm sure you will get some value from. Finally we have reached the end of another year and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support and encouragement with the podcast. In series 2 so far, I have been able to have some really important conversations, mostly health related, and I genuinely believe that if any of you guys take on board some of what has been set out in the last few episodes, it will change your life for the better. If you enjoyed this podcast, please share it with your friends and family and also if you have a moment, please leave me a review wherever you get your podcasts. You can also reach me here conor@conordevine.com Have a peaceful and healthy Christmas, and I will be back in the New Year, with more conversations that I hope will enrich and maybe even CHANGE your life.
