How to Improve Health - By Dr. Hopkins
To stay healthy, lose weight and improve, eliminate, or possibly cure most chronic diseases, I recommend a Whole Foods, Plant-Based Lifestyle Combined With Intermittent Fasting. Health is largely dependent on living a healthy lifestyle. Sadly, The Standard American Diet (SAD) is largely responsible for most chronic diseases. Daily exercise as well as eating a whole foods, plant-based diet combined with intermittent fasting are the key to avoiding many of life's most unpleasant events related to chronic disease including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, obesity, most cancers.
Through evolution, our bodies are pre-programmed to crave high-calorie, animal-based fat and protein. This gave us a survival advantage in the hunter-gatherer era, when high-calorie food sources were scarce. In modern civilization however, high-calorie, animal-based food and unhealthy processed foods are in extreme abundance. This change in our environment (abundance) has out-paced our genetic ability to deal with these changes. In addition, we have increased the frequency of food intake. As a result of these changes, we eat more animal-based food and processed foods than ever before in human history. This is why over two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese. It is also why so many chronic disease like heart disease, diabetes, and cancers are so prevalent.
Over the past 50 years, obesity as well as diet-related diseases and cancers are related primarily to 3 factors which have changed over this period of time:
1. The variety of foods that are now available has significantly increased
2. Food is more convenient and less expensive
3. Because of #1 and #2, we tend to eat much more frequently
Jason Fung, MD discusses these factors best in the following video: (Click Here)
