Nutrition and Aging: Eating to Prevent Disease
Learn about how food choices influence your risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and obesity, and how these diagnoses are major contributors not only to heart disease and stroke, but to certain types of cancer as well. It doesn't cost more to eat well, but it may take a little more planning, and Dr. Sukol will show you how. Also, remember: If you don't spend it at the grocery store, you'll spend it at the drug store.
