Nutritional Prevention of Disease

We also heard from Dr ND Burman – a Specialist Physician. We spoke about Nutritional Prevention of disease. It is reported that there are several diseases and disorders that can be treated effectively by watching our diets. According to a report of a joint WHO/FAO expert consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases, Nutrition is coming to the fore as a major modifiable determinant of chronic disease, with scientific evidence increasingly supporting the view that alterations in diet have strong effects, both positive and negative, on health throughout life. The report further states that most importantly, dietary adjustments may not only influence present health, but may determine whether or not an individual will develop such diseases as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes much later in life. Dr Burman, the expert explained more on Nutritional Prevention of disease. For more information he is available on (021) 671 7797 or 083 629 9160.
