Synopsis

Why are we, as a nation, so unhealthy? Part of the answer certainly has to do with the standard “American” diet. It is estimated that a typical adult in the United States consumes the following yearly: 40 pounds of white bread 41 pounds of potatoes 30 pounds of cheese 32 gallons of soda 75 pounds of fat Add to this the fact that 40 percent of Americans have sedentary jobs and admit to getting little or no leisurely activity after work, and you’ll begin to understand why approximately 70 percent of the U.S. population is considered overweight.2 Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the future is any brighter. A study on obesity released in May 2012, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and conducted by Duke University, found that by the year 2030, 42 percent of Americans will be obese. What is worse, serious obesity will double, with 11 percent of adults in this country tipping the scales at 100 pounds overweight. In addition, one out of three American children born today potentially will develop diabetes. We believe it is time for traditional medicine to take an innovative approach to health care. We understand that good medicine doesn’t start with the treatment of a patient’s acute illness, rather it begins with the prevention of disease and the promotion of healthy living. Take a look at yourself in the mirror. The image reflected is based on the choices you’ve made in the past regarding diet and exercise, but that doesn’t mean you can’t reshape your body, your mind—or your future. The Healthspan Diet will help you discover why and how to make food choices that will create a healthy body. You’ll eat well, with the flexibility to make smart choices from a wide selection of foods, without compromising taste and the enjoyment of eating. By making informed decisions about the foods you eat and the amount of exercise and sleep you get—simple choices you make each and every day—you can slow the aging process. You can reduce the amount of inflammation in your joints, regain your energy, improve your memory, begin to reverse the process of cardiovascular disease, and even increase happiness. The goal of The Healthspan Diet is to add years to your life and, more important, life to your years.
