Connection between nutrition and disease

     Recommendations to help prevent death and disability from major nutrtion related chronic diseases, is considered off population nutrient intake and physical activity. Goals should be developed on national guidelines that help reduce many burdens of diseases related to Diabetes, Obesity, Cardiovascular, several forms of cancer, and osteoporosis.

        Obesity: "the imbalance between deciling energy expenditures due to physical activity and high energy in the diet"(World Health Organization, n.d.), so by increasing physical activity and reducing fattty foods as well as really high sugar content would help reduce the risk.

        Diabetes: "excess weight gain, overweight and obesity and physical inactivity account for the escalating rates of type 2 diabetes worldwide"(World Health Organization, n.d.), so an increase of physical activity and eating proper foods would definitely help with maintaining a health weight. Diabetes as we know it leads to the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, stroke and infections as well.

        Cardiovascular disease: "cadiovascular dieases, the major killersworldwide, are to a great extent due to unbalanced diets and physical inactivity" (World Health Organization, n.d.), cardiovascular disease is the main risk of heart disease, stoke disease, This comes from a large intake of trans fats, saturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats as well. So by reducing the intake of salt can reduce high blood pressure which is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease.

        Cancer: "tobacco is the number one cause of cancer , but dietary factors contribute significantly to some types of cancer" (World Health Organization, n.d.), so by having a good and sustainable weight can reduce the risk of cancer in the oesophagus, breast, and kidney. By limiting alchohol consumption could reduce some of the risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, oesophagus, liver ans stomach cancer.

     These are just some examples of how healthy eating and physical activity reduce some of this risk factors,  looking at physical inactivity is already a major health risk and is prevalent in both industrialized and developing countries, among the urban poor in those crowded major cities. There have been measures and policies put into place that require healthier food consumption, and also facilitate physically active life that share common ground and mutually interactive in determining healthier behaviours.
   
     I believe that healthy diets and physical activity are the key components to good nutrition and necessary for a longevity  healthy life style, By eating nutrional foods and eating balancing energy intake with the physical activity that will help maintain a healthier weight which is essential at all stages of life. The amount of energy consumed along with physical activity , and the quality of food are key determinants they may help with chronic disease. In order to achieve best results in preventing nutrition related chronic diseases, The key role would be both diet and physical activity to determining good nutrition along with optimal health.
