Nutrition and Lifestyle: Two Powerful Ingredients for Chronic Disease Management

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S. These illnesses are responsible for 7 of every 10 deaths, affect the quality of life of 90 million Americans, and consume 78% of all health care expenditures. Because a wide variety of these conditions are caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits, national clinical guidelines for their management advocate a multifactorial lifestyle approach designated “therapeutic lifestyle changes” or “TLC.”

 

FirstLine Therapy (FLT) is a comprehensive TLC program that provides you with the knowledge you need to make healthy lifestyle choices each day going forward. FLT will help you adopt a therapeutic lifestyle.  This is the first and arguably the most important therapy to treat many chronic health problems.

Boosting the Body’s Immune Function
 
The body’s immune system is nothing short of miraculous. When given the proper nutrients it can fend off colds, bacteria, viruses and even cancer without you being aware that anything is amiss. By consistently eating a diet high in phytonutrients (plant nutrients), essential fats, lean protein and fiber we can provide our body with all the tools it needs to fight off foreign invaders, repair tissues and maintain a general state of health. The Cenegenics® nutritional plan is focused on nourishing the body, not deprivation.

Daily Guidelines

1.        Never skip meals: Your body enters starvation mode, causing your metabolism to slow down, basically hoarding whatever calories you eat. Rather, eat smaller meals more frequently, based on the following suggestions. Think of food as fuel for your body!
