America’s Health Crisis
- Our Nation: America is the heaviest nation on the face of the earth.
- Our Children: The CDC predicts that this will be the first generation of children not to live as long as their parents.
- Our Seniors: Baby Boomers will be the first generation to enter their golden years in worse health than their parents.
- Our Healthcare System: 85% of all healthcare dollars are spent on preventable, diet-related illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
The Eat Right America’s Nutrition Management program enables employees to achieve optimum weight management, minimize and reverse chronic disease incidence, and live a healthier lifestyle. The process begins with the Nutrition Prescription™ (NP) - America’s only Patented, Disease-Specific, Nutrition-based, “Personal” Eating Assessment & Plan.
Eat Right America’s Nutrient rich Diet is based on a very simple to understand formula: H = N / C (Health = Nutrients over Calories). The more nutrients one consumes in relation to calories, the healthier they will become and the faster their body will seek and maintain its ideal weight while reducing, and in some cases, eliminating the need for costly medications.
It has been well documented that corporate health care costs have been increasing at alarming rates and that chronic diseases, many of which are directly attributed to obesity and weight issues, contribute to the majority of costs. Many of these costs can be reduced if employees maintain a healthier lifestyle.
The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.)
- On average, Americans consume twice the number of calories they need,yet, only 2% of Americans are getting the daily required nutrition their bodies need.
- Over 60% of the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) comes from processed foods and another 25% comes from animal foods. Both processed foods and animal foods are completely devoid of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals) which are found mainly in vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds and whole grains, which make up only 12% of the Standard American Diet.
- A diet that is lacking in micronutrients cause foods addictions and overeating which in turn leads to obesity and many diet-related chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer.
Eat Right America’s Nutrition Management Program
On June 16, 2010, an advisory committee for the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans calls on people to “cut back on added sugars and solid fats (butter, marbled meats) and to follow a more nutrient-rich, plant-based diet.”
More than just a company, Eat Right America is a movement and a cause -- a call to action for all Americans to eat their way to great health, starting with your employees.
