| Chronic diseases of lifestyle (CDL), such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, are the dominant family of diseases in the USA and across the Western world. These diseases are closely related to an unhealthy lifestyle. The book explores this family of diseases, their causes, and most especially the role of diet. This information will enable the reader to achieve a healthy lifestyle and prevent these diseases. But the book goes further: it also explores the big picture of how improved health can be achieved across the population. This requires encouraging people to eat a healthier diet. Towards that goal various other important topics are also examined including the dangers posed by the food industry and the great potential of government policy such as:
* Food labels
* Health promotion. This is a strategy where health experts try to persuade the population to follow a healthier lifestyle, including eating a healthier diet
* Government policy. Health promotion achieves only limited success. This chapter makes the case that government policies are a more effective way to enhance the health of the population
* The role of the food industry is discussed as it is responsible for the mass marketing of unhealthy foods
* The population is continually exposed to large amounts of false and misleading information in the area of diet and health. By contrast, most books on diet and health are filled with highly misleading information.This creates endless confusion
This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in diet and health, both those with and those without a background in nutrition. |
