Nutrition plays a key role in health and disease promotion, and the old adage "you are what you eat" still holds true today. Many of our modern day ills,such as diabetes, heartdisease and even cancer, can be traced to the "malnutrition" we find in our country today.
In the USA, 61 % of adults are overweight or obese, the highest rate in the developed world. 17% of our children are obese, with another 15% at risk of obesity, heart disease and stroke.
Did you know that medical nutrition therapy...
... can decrease or help avoid altogetherthe use of medication for diabetes?
...can be as effective as medicationin controlling mildhigh blood pressure?
..should be the first line of defense for prevention and when signs and symptoms of chronic disease begin to show?
THINK NUTRITION FIRST!
Chronic disease does not have to be an inevitable part of aging!
