After reading Laurel's blog, "Heart Health", I believe I was more educated on healthy food! In her blog was a link to another blog called Kelly the Kitchen Kop. I was very interested in this blog and read a few of the posts. I believe the most interesting post was the one about her brother-in-law's follow-up with the heart specialist. It really baffled me that the doctor did not discuss her brother-in-law's diet and how the way he eats could be contributing to his heart issues. After writing an eight page paper about exercise, it is easy for me to understand how important exercise and healthy diet is to preventing obesity and heart disease. Obesity can lead to heart disease and many other cancers. All doctors should be aware of this and the first thing they should discuss with their patients, if they are overweight especially, is diet. With a proper diet that addresses personal issues, patients can decrease their risk for many diseases and cancers and ultimately prevent those diseases and cancers.
By reading this blog, I was interested in researching the affects food has in preventing diseases and cancers. It is safe to say that food has a huge part in preventing 99% of diseases and cancers. Food is half the battle, exercise is another part, and medicine is the next. I believe we should control what we can and eat healthy to keep ourselves as safe as is possible from disease and cancer.
