Da Vinci Physics
Ok
so i was online, reading this article about a new diet, called the Da Vinci Diet, that follows a lot of the Mediterranean ways of eating: fish, cheese, vegetables, meat, nuts, bread and wine.
But the coolest part is that the guy behind this diet, Stephen Lanzalotta, is using ancient math and physics to back his point.
" In his diet, Lanzalotta uses a complicated formula he created that relies on the value of phi, a number discovered by ancient mathematics, used to build the pyramids, and featured prominently in Brown's book.
The value, 1.618, is known as the "golden ratio." It has long fascinated artists, philosophers and mathematicians
In his book "The Golden Ratio," Mario Livio, an astrophysicist and senior scientist on the Hubble Telescope, discusses the history of the number
Taking into account factors including body type, the diet typically breaks down to 52 percent carbohydrates, 20 percent protein and 28 percent fat."
While some scientists are questioning whether this ancient mathematical phenomenon would be any good for a diet, I think it makes perfect sense. Afterall, this diet has kept people healthy in that part of the world for a long time.
And, this number shows up in all sorts of things in nature, including human physical demensions.
He did make another good point: "I'm not suggesting that we eat more bread," Lanzalotta said. "I'm just trying to look at the problems with eating only meat."
This too, has become a big problem in today's society. While our bodies are designed to need both vegetables and meat, we eat too much meat and not enough vegetables. Look at the problems in the meat industry. This is a direct result of dietary problems.
Anyways, it's bedtime
so g'night all
