The Role of Nutrition in Chronic Disease:You’ve heard it so many times that it’s become cliché, but that doesn’t make it any less true: you are what you eat. No where is this truer than with nutrition and chronic disease.
Chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, are long-lasting health conditions that persist and often require ongoing medical attention or management.
These conditions have become increasingly prevalent in modern society, posing significant challenges to both individuals and healthcare systems
Sure, these numbers are going up, but where does nutrition fall into all of this? Is it both the cause and the treatment?
And how can a personalized nutrition plan help all of this?
Let’s take a look at the role of poor nutrition and chronic disease
Poor nutrition can contribute significantly to the development of chronic diseases as well as overall health issues.
Consuming excessive amounts of unhealthy foods, especially those containing added sugars, preservatives, additives, and processed salt, can dramatically increase the risk of various health issues.
What’s more, a lack of essential nutrients can weaken the body’s immune system and hinder its ability to function optimally.
