Healthy Eating

Probably the most discussed topic in the office is diet.  So much of our health revolves around what we put into our body.  It's well known that healthy eating and maintaining an optimal body weight are imperative to prevent and treat diseases like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and heart disease.   What is less appreciated is the impact nutrition has on day-to-day well-being, encompassing all aspects of wellness.   In my opinion, what we eat has dramatic ramifications for the entire body, and remains the cornerstone of intestinal, psychiatric, hormonal, and musculo-skeletal health.   While we've all heard the idiom, “you are what you eat,” we often don't live this motto; that leaves us vulnerable to illness and poor quality of life.   My goals in medicine are prevention of disease and maintenance of a high quality-of-life.  What you eat is the foundation to achieve those goals.
