Q: What's behind most of the leading causes of death in the western world? 👇
A: The Western Diet. AKA: The Standard American Diet (SAD) 🙁
The western diet contains:
a lot of fried food,
low fruit and vegetables,
added high fructose syrups,
primarily ultra-processed food.
and is causing epidemic levels of inflammation, insulin resistance, and obesity resulting in millions of deaths from:
stroke,
dementia,
liver disease,
hypertension,
heart disease,
type 2 diabetes,
various cancers
This leads me to a couple of questions:
How can we fix this?
These causes of mortality are often reversible too. How?
The answer to both is simple:
Eat. More. Real. Whole. Food
Add more movement, better sleep, and stress management and we would eradicate this plague of lifestyle-related deaths.
