Honoring Holistic Health Habits discusses the major killer health risks in today's society, as well as how these threats can be significantly reduced by lifestyle modification in diet and exercise. Heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, cancer, vascular disease, and Alzheimer's are all exacerbated by eating an unhealthy diet. Plus, these diseases have all dramatically increased over the past century as a result of dietary changes. The nature of these diseases along with the adjustments necessary to overcome them are important. Issues involve underlying energy intake and expenditure, toxicity, and the unhealthy modifications in modern diet that have brought on these health problems. Today's diets contain unhealthy fats and toxic proteins loaded with excess carbohydrates, the latter being the major cause of weight gain and diabetes. Taken in excess, these are the major killers, which for the first time in centuries are causing a reduction in life expectancy. These conclusions come from the author's lifelong medical practice treating these disorders. Dr. Tom Taylor believes it is vital to fight the major killers that are the biggest threats to long life, and to understand the ways in which these can be reduced or deferred, thereby improving our lifestyle.
