In this presentation, I introduce a framework for improving lifespans and healthspans. I outline why most people in the developed world are living longer but spending more of these additional years in chronic ill health. I then focus on the power of nutrition to prevent, arrest and reverse most chronic diseases as part of an integrated approach that addresses the Seven Pillars of a Healthy Lifestyle: Eating Naturally; Hydrating Properly; Sleeping Soundly; Breathing Effectively; Managing Psycho-Social Health; Moving Frequently; and Creating a Healthy Environment.

physicians make is that they
attempt to cure the body
without attempting to cure
the mind; yet the mind and
the body are one and should
not be treated separately.

convert from their usual diet to a wholefood

totalled one stroke (0.6% recurrence)
• Thirteen of the 21 non-compliant participants
experienced adverse events (63% recurrence).

Animal fat intake is 94% correlated
with animal protein

Our core purpose is to make nutrition science
accessible to all and we do this through the
interpretation, translation and communication of
often complex scientific information.
In all aspects of our work, we aim to generate and communicate
clear, accurate, accessible information on nutrition, diet and lifestyle,
which is impartial and relevant to the needs of diverse audiences…

96. 2013 Review of studies
• The effect of dietary cholesterol on LDL cholesterol
concentrations, is modest and appears to be limited to
population subgroups.
• In these cases, restrictions in dietary cholesterol intake
are likely warranted.
97. 2007 Review of studies on health effects
of soft drinks, juice and milk
• Studies funded by the food industry are 4- to 8-fold
more likely to support conclusions favourable to the
industry.
• Industry funding of nutrition-related scientific articles
may bias conclusions in favour of sponsors' products,
with potentially significant implications for public health.
98. 2013 Non-nutritive sweeteners: review
and update
• There are mixed reports about the safety of
aspartame.
• All of the studies funded by the industry vouch for its
safety, whereas 92% of independently funded studies
report that aspartame can cause adverse health
effects.
