Document Summary
Food is not only equal to medicine but it has far greater power. The research is saying that the way to reverse the trend of continual increase in chronic diseases and obesity is for people to go back to their kitchens and cook their own meals instead of eating out. Nutrition should be studied for our own health, to help educate clients we will work with, and for the health of our family. The population right now has many chronic health diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, etc. and they all come down to some risk factors and lifestyle is one of them. Knowledge is power and you have a huge opportunity to change peoples" lives when it comes to knowledge. Cancer is number 1 for nutrition related deaths and a lot of it has to do with lifestyle. Genes has something to do with it but lifestyle is still a major factor.
