Our popular Evidence-Based Eating Guide is now available in Chinese!
Many people assume that our manner of death is preprogrammed into our genes. High blood pressure by fifty-five, heart attacks at sixty, maybe even cancer at seventy, and so on… But for most of the leading causes of death, science shows that our genes often account for only 10-20% of the risk at most. For example, when people move from low-risk to high-risk countries, their disease rates almost always change to those of the new environment. New diet, new diseases. But the reverse is also true. If we’re eating the Standard Western Diet and switch to a diet higher in whole plant foods, such as fruits and vegetables, this may lower your risk.
The Evidence-Based Eating Guide: A Healthy Living Resource from Dr. Greger & NutritionFacts.org is a tool designed to help make the switch to a healthier lifestyle more simple. It’s an easy-to-understand guide with applicable information for eating healthier, including a breakdown of Dr. Greger’s Traffic Light Eating, tips for using Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen checklist, sample menus, and more.
We hope that this guide will serve as a tool alongside NutritionFacts.org to help you, your loved ones, and your patients improve the length and quality of their lives.
《基于实证的饮食指南:打造健康生活》中文版正式推出!
许多人都认为,生命结束的方式都已经预先由基因编码好了,55岁得高血压,60岁得心脏病,也许70岁的时候得癌症,诸如此类。然而,科学家针对人类的几个头号杀手的研究表明,基因方面的风险经常最多只占10-20%。举个例子,一个人从低风险国家移居到高风险国家,他的患病率几乎总会向移居目的地的人口患病率靠拢。新的饮食意味着新的疾病,但新的饮食也可以减少疾病。如果我们原本吃的是西式饮食,然后再把饮食结构调整成全植物食物(比如蔬菜、水果)占比较高的形式,那么生病的风险就会降低。
这本《基于实证的饮食指南:打造健康生活》正是格雷格医生为了帮助大家更好实现健康生活所设计的工具。指南中浅显易懂又实用的信息包含了“交通灯”饮食法、如何将“每日12清单”中的项目加到日常饮食、食谱范例等等。
我们希望除了平时发布的视频、文章外,这本指南能够帮助到您和您亲爱的家人。如果您是医疗从业人员,那么我们也希望能够帮助到您的患者、改善他们的生活。
Please Note: The Evidence-Based Eating Guide is already available for free on NutritionFacts.org. This is a pre-printed version of the downloadable file available there.
