IGNITE YOUR HEALTH
“The United States is experiencing an unsustainable disease burden – 130 million people today suffer from chronic illnesses. We spend over $2 trillion a year – about 16 percent of our gross domestic product – on health care. The vast majority of our health care dollars are spent treating chronic disease.”
Dr. Richard H. Carmona, MD17th Surgeon General of the United StatesAlmanac of Chronic Disease, 2008 Edition
The Brutal Facts:
What People are Currently Doing is
NOT WORKING.
The present obesity epidemic is both troubling and informative: Because adiposity is largely caused by poor diet (excess calories) and inadequate physical activity, emphases on more downstream risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes address neither the root causes of obesity nor its full cardiovascular consequences.”
Mozaffarian D, Wilson PWF, Kannel WB. Beyond Established and Novel Risk Factors. Circulation 2008; 117:3031-3038
“The prevalence of overweight U.S. adults has increased dramatically during the past 30 years,
with type 2 diabetes representing what is perhaps the
most serious obesity-related consequence.
“Nearly 90% of individuals with type 2 diabetes are
overweight.”Boucher JL, et al. Current Trends in Weight Management: What Advice Do We Give Patients? Clinical Diabetes 2008; 26(3):115-120.
DIABETES
“An abundance of evidence suggests that lifestyle factors, including exposure to chemical carcinogens, physical inactivity, and diet play major roles in the development of common cancers.
“The current human diet contains a variety of mutagens
and carcinogens that lead to the initiation of cancer and other chronic diseases.”
Roberts CK, Barnard RJ Effects of exercise and diet on chronic disease. J Appl Physiol 200598:3-30
