Publisher's Synopsis
Encouraging a healthful diet in patients promotes the prevention and reversal of chronic diseases, such as CVD, diabetes, cancer and obesity, according to a presentation at the ACP Internal Medicine Meeting.
"Of the ten leading causes of death in the United States, at least seven, including the top four, are directly related to diet choices.
These conditions include heart disease, cancer, lung disease, cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes and kidney disease, according to McMacken.
"We now know that a poor diet is responsible for more deaths from chronic disease at the population level than smoking... Most of our patients know that it's probably not a good idea to smoke, but I don't think they have a sense of the magnitude of the importance of the food choices they are making every day.
In this book on "HEALTHY WAY OF USING FOOD AS A MEDICINE" you will get to learn the food choices you need to eat, in order to prevent about 80% of chronic disease through simple lifestyle eating habits.
