Research continues to reveal that by far the largest determinant of our state of
health is lifestyle choices and environment. Isn’t that tremendous news? It reveals
that we largely have the power to determine whether we will be chronically healthy
or chronically sick during our lifetime! Below is just a small sampling of research
discussing this topic.
“Engagement in physical activity emerged as a critical intervention in obesity prevention
and reduction programmes.”
-Flynn MA et al. “Reducing obesity and related chronic disease risk in children and
youth: a synthesis of evidence with 'best practice' recommendations.” Obes Rev. 2006
Feb;7 Suppl 1:7-66.
“Maternal obesity can result in unfavorable outcomes for the woman and fetus. Maternal
risks during pregnancy include gestational diabetes and chronic hypertension leading
to preeclampsia. The fetus is at risk for stillbirth and congenital anomalies...Obesity
in pregnancy can also affect health later in life for both mother and child. For
women, these risks include heart disease and hypertension. Children have a risk of
future obesity and heart disease. Women and their offspring are at increased risk
for diabetes... Interventions directed at weight loss and prevention of excessive
weight gain during pregnancy must begin in the preconception period.”
-Begum KS et al. “Maternal obesity and pregnancy outcome” Clin Exp Obstet Gynecol.
2011;38(1):14-20.
“The American Heart Association recommends increased oily fish intake and the use
of omega-3 fatty acid supplements for the primary and secondary prevention of coronary
heart disease.”
-Farzaneh-Far, Ramin et al. “Association of Marine Omega-3 Fatty Acid Levels With
Telomeric Aging inPatients With Coronary Heart Disease” JAMA. 2010 Jan;303(3).
“Life expectancy increases track more closely with economic prosperity and sanitary
engineering than with strictly medical advances. Notable achievements in the past
century--the decreased incidences of epidemic infections, dental caries, and stomach
cancer--are owed to virologists, dentists, and (probably) refrigeration more than
to physicians.”
-Eaton SB et al. “Evolutionary health promotion” Prev Med. 2002 Feb;34(2):109-18.
“The health and well-being of children are inextricably linked to their parents'
physical, emotional and social health, social circumstances, and child-rearing practices.
The rising incidence of behavior problems among children attests to some families'
inability to cope with the increasing stresses they are experiencing...”
-Schor EL; American Academy of Pediatrics Task Force on the Family. “Family pediatrics:
report of the Task Force on the Family” Pediatrics. 2003 Jun;111(6 Pt 2):1541-71.
“It is projected that raising the minimum year-around serum 25(OH)D (Vitamin D) level
to 40 to 60 ng/mL (100–150 nmol/L) would prevent approximately 58,000 new cases of
breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer each year, and three fourths
of deaths from these diseases in the US and Canada...”

Epidemiology. 2009 July;19(7):468-483.
