  • Diets and Nutrition

    So the major changes in the last 20 years in the North American diet that have caused an increase in obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes would have to be due to the over-consumption of highly processed convenience foods.                          

    The typical North American diet is large in portion size, relatively low in fruits and vegetables, and high in refined sugars and grain products. We also went through a low-fat craze so there are a lot of products on the market that are low in fat yet relatively high in sugar to compensate. Health Talk

    A quick tip that you can do to improve your nutrition is to start thinking about whole foods, choosing whole grains, breads and cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables and choosing dairy products that are low in sugar content.

    If you’d like more information on how to make better choices in your diet contact your local nutritionist, Registered Dietitian or medical professional.
