Borrowed from Reader's Digest by Nancy Kalish
Hippocrates noted that those who are very fat were more apt
to die younger than those who are thin. He, also, recognized that when
people ate mainly a fresh, plant-based diet, they developed fewer
diseases. His primary way of treatment was usually improving that
patient's diet.
According to cardiologist, Joel Kahn, MD, following a diet
based on unprocessed foods, colorful plants, & very little sugar
will help you live longer & healthier. A 2013 study in the New
England Journal of Medicine found that those who ate a
Mediterranean-type of diet were 30% less likely to have a heart attack
or stroke than those who followed a low-fat diet. Processed foods with
sugar, animal saturated fats & trans fats, and artificial chemicals
can activate disease-causing genes that may have stayed dormant
otherwise. They, also, lack the healthy nutrients that activated
protective genes per Dr. Kahn.
