Weight & Chronic Disease Management

Chronic diseases of lifestyle such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol are on the rise in Australia. These often preventable diseases can have permanent and debilitating consequences when uncontrolled. The good news however is that nutritional medicine has advanced tremendously in these areas. We are now often able to prevent these conditions and also better manage them through making simple adjustments to our diet, addressing such things as the type of oils we include, the micronutrient content of the diet and the overall caloric load of the diet. Often as little as a reduction of 10 percent in body weight can make a huge difference to disease risk. Underweight (low body weight) and malnutrition are as much a health concern as overweight and obesity are, and can also be addressed through diet and the use of Medical Nutritional Supplement drinks.
