•The food that we ingest on a regular basis can contribute to the development of serious diseases as we get older. While diseases are caused by many different factors, a poor diet can put us at higher risk for disease.
Class Discussion •What kind of diseases can be related to eating an unhealthy diet.?
12 LIFESTYLE DISEASES
Research tells us that there is a direct relationship between factors such as smoking, inactivity, and unhealthy foods and the risk of getting a major disease like cancer, diabetes, or heart problems. 13
Class Discussion How does smoking affect health?
The biggest lifestyle change for most Americans has been the explosion of fast food restaurants. There are ten times more fast food restaurants today than fifty years ago. The decrease in the health of Americans is directly linked to the high consumption of fast food with high calories and little nutritional value. 15
Class Discussion •What do you consider fast food? •How often do you eat fast food? •How often should Americans eat fast food? •Does eating fast food cause any particular problems?
Many research studies have indicated that foods high in saturated fats may contribute to numerous health problems. In addition, Red meat contains high amounts of a substance called carnitine which is linked to the increased development of cholesterol in the arteries.
Class Discussion •What are the three “macronutrients” that provide nearly all of the energy needed by the human body and are found in the foods we eat daily?
Foods are composed of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Some foods contain fats that are very healthy for our bodies, and some foods contain fats that are less healthy.
20 Types of Fat Saturated Red meat, pastries, deep fried foods, chips, cheese, and ice cream Polyunsaturated Corn oil, olive oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, and canola oil Monounsaturated Fish, nuts, olives, and avocados
Fats that are considered monounsaturated are very healthy for the proper development of cells, tissues, and organs. Increasing the amount of this type of fat in the daily diet actually improves overall health and physical performance.
Class Discussion •What are the two types of carbohydrates? •Why is one type of carbohydrate considered much healthier than the other?
Carbohydrates can be simple or complex. Complex carbs are much healthier because they contain more nutrients and are released more slowly into the bloodstream enabling cells to receive energy over a longer period of time. Vegetables and fruits contain complex carbohydrates while pastries and other sugary snacks contain simple carbs.
Unhealthy carbs turn into sugar. Too many unhealthy carbohydrates can increase the risk for diabetes for people who are unable to process an overload of glucose(sugar) in the bloodstream. 24
Class Discussion •Why is diabetes increasing at an alarming rate in the United States? •What kind of health problems are caused by diabetes?
Type 2 Diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate in the United States. It appears that the American diet that is high in sugar, simple carbohydrates and saturated fats is the blame for the diabetes epidemic. Diabetes causes heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and the loss of limbs. 26
The symptoms of type 2 diabetes include excessive thirst, dry mouth, frequent urination, blurred vision, and slow healing sores.
Risk factors such as inactivity, stress, and a nutrient poor diet can increase the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. However, many people can change their life style and improve their health.
Type 2 diabetes is a very serious disease that decreases the ability of the pancreas to process sugars. As the disease progresses, the body becomes insulin resistant, and glucose levels rise in the bloodstream creating damage in the blood vessels and nerves.
Class Discussion •What can people do to reduce their risk of diabetes?
•Reducing the risk of diabetes includes life style changes such as increased physical activity, weight loss, stress reduction, and improved diet.
Increasing the amount of nutritious vegetables in our daily diet is the easiest way to improve our health. 32
Class Discussion •All organs in our body are affected by the quality of foods that we include in our daily diet. •Which foods do you think might be the most beneficial to maximize our brain power?
Certain foods in our diet improve the functioning of our brains. A good slogan for brain health might be, “Eat smart, be smart”.
Although research is still ongoing, some scientists believe that future research may find that memory and spatial skills in the brain are enhanced by certain food groups.
Some experts believe that foods such as berries, avocado, fish, eggs, and dark chocolate may be brain boosters. Future research may give us additional information.
•Maintaining a nutritious, daily diet is important in reducing the risk for diseases such as anemia, osteoporosis, cancer, and heart disease.
Class Discussion •What is anemia? What are the symptoms? •What can some people do to reduce anemia?
39 Diet Related Illnesses
Class Discussion What kinds of foods should be avoided by a person who is at high risk for heart disease?
Most medical experts are convinced that diets that are high in saturated fats and simple carbohydrates are likely contributors to heart disease.
Most major diseases are affected by lifestyle issues such as body weight, nutrition, exercise, smoking, and sleep deprivation.
Heart attacks and strokes are directly related to life style factors such as inactivity, stress, sleep deprivation, weight, and diet.
Class Discussion •If you had to choose one regular behavior to improve your health, which behavior do you think most doctors would say is the most beneficial?
Getting plenty of daily exercise may be the most important health decision most people make.
Another critical life style decision is to avoid smoking cigarettes. Solid scientific research links smoking to cancer and heart disease.
Class Discussion What are the leading causes of cancer?
While there are many different causes of cancer, poor diet and tobacco are the leading causes of cancer according to current research. However, obesity is expected to overtake tobacco as the leading cause of cancer in the near future.
• Sometimes certain types of foods are closely correlated with a reduced risk of serious disease. In the spring of 2014, the results of a major study found that consuming green tea, coffee, and peaches had a significant impact on reducing the incidence of cancer.
•Fortunately, most health issues can be avoided by making informed choices and making healthier living a priority. Eating healthy foods, getting adequate exercise, avoiding trans fats, and getting recommended inoculations can make a significant difference in health and longevity.
Class Discussion •Other than diet and exercise, what are some other actions that people can take to improve their overall health?
•Simple things such as eating a good breakfast, maintaining close family connections, and having a calm personality can improve one’s health.
