Up to 2/3 of chronic degenerative disease is caused by diet and lifestyle. Many (or most) of these diseases can be improved or reversed through healthier food choices. Mechanisms for disease amelioration in hypertension, atherosclerosis, Type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and asthma are explored.

Desired Outcomes:

• To understand the role of food (especially the fast-food-based, “Standard
  American Diet”) in causation of common degenerative disease.
• Review the mechanisms by which healthier food choices can ameliorate
  diabetes, atherosclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
• Employ strategies to incorporate effective nutritional counseling into your
  clinical practice.
