What’s so SAD about the Standard American Diet?
Jessica Luepke and Kim Douglas
Thursday, February 11 6:30-7:30
Martha Miller - 1st Floor Rotunda
Free, Please register by emailing wellness@hope.edu by 2/8.
If you were to list the factors that increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, intestinal disorders – just about any illness – the standard American diet has them all:
- High in animal fats
- High in unhealthy fats: saturated, hydrogenated
- Low in fiber
- High in processed foods
- Low in complex carbohydrates
- Low in plant-based foods
The striking fact is that cultures that eat the reverse of the standard American diet – low fat, high in complex carbohydrates, plant-based, and high in fiber – have a lower incidence of cancer and coronary artery disease (CAD). What's even more sad is that countries whose populations can afford to eat the healthiest disease-preventing foods don't. Come and hear how you can make healthy changes to your diet and decrease your risk for cancer and other illnesses.

This online class focuses on basic information related to weight, nutrition, exercise, and stress. Participants are given tips and resources to assist in creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In the end, it is our hope that participants will learn that a healthy lifestyle can be achieved by making one conscious, positive choice, day after day.
