You cannot escape from the biological law of cause and effect - food choices are the most significant cause of disease and premature death.
From Joel Fuhrman
Dieting by portion control doesn't work because one is constantly fighting addictive drives.
When you eat healthfully, your body gravitates relatively rapidly toward a better weight.
Excess dietary salt is most notorious for increasing blood pressure. Americans have a 90 percent lifetime probability of developing high blood pressure - so even if your blood pressure is normal now, if you continue to eat the typical American diet, you will be at risk.
Reducing dietary salt is not only important for those who already have elevated blood pressure - limiting added salt is essential for all of us to remain in good health.
Eating a high-nutrient diet actually makes you more satisfied with less food, and actually gives the ability to enjoy food more without overeating.
If you want ideal health, you need to overcompensate and eat an excellent diet.
If we get kids eating right, we could decrease cancer rates by 90 percent.
The problem with the standard American diet, a primary cause of our current obesity epidemic, is the fact that the majority of foods consumed are high in calories and low in micronutrients.
Most weight loss diets center around portion control, which is just trying to eat smaller amounts of the same addictive foods. This approach inevitably fails.
