Today we are going to talk about food. Anyone who knows
me can attest to the fact this is one of my favorite
topics. But today we are going to talk about healthy
food. Now before you click us off, I want you to
understand that the food we are talking about is not
only healthier, but will save you time and money. Let me
point something out to you…a report a few weeks ago said
by 2050, 1 in 3 Americans will suffer from Diabetes. The
current rate is one in ten.
Diabetes can be prevented, controlled or even reversed
through lifestyle modifications such as diet and
exercise, and it currently remains the leading cause of
kidney failure, non-injury leg and foot amputations
among adults, and blindness for people under age 75. In
addition, it is a strong risk factor for heart disease
and vascular diseases of all types, making it a huge
health and economic burden. By no way am I trying to
scare you. There is an alternative way, a healthier way
to eat…eat some great foods that is healthier than the
way we eat now. Our guest today is an award
winning nutritionist, cookbook author and teacher. She
has been a passionate advocate of cooking well and
eating wisely for most of her life. Because of health
problems within her own family, mostly notably diabetes,
she learned early on the importance of a balanced,
healthful approach to eating. She has published numerous
cookbooks that teach people with diabetes how to
maintain healthful diets with food that is satisfying
and flavorful. It is our honor to welcome to Your Life
Matters, Robyn Webb.
