Circulation 2004;109:3244-3255

Cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes account for nearly 2 of every 3 deaths in the US

At a cost of $700 billion “While healthcare costs skyrocket, the

national investment in prevention was estimated at less than 3% of the total annual healthcare expenditures.”

“In spite of hundreds of medical studies, media reports and advice from health officials, Americans still have not got the message that they can prevent most cases of chronic disease.” – John Seffrin, American Cancer Society CEO

From:

“Effectiveness of Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes in Patients With Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, and/or Hyperglycemia”

American Journal of Cardiology 2004;94:1558-1561

“National clinical guidelines recommend therapeutic lifestyle changes as a standard of care in the management of conventional risk factors (for coronary heart disease).”

From:

“Effectiveness of Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes in Patients With Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, and/or Hyperglycemia”

American Journal of Cardiology 2004;94:1558-1561

“…the findings clearly show that many patients who have conventional risk factors for coronary heart disease can achieve goal levels without medications within 12 weeks of initiating therapeutic lifestyle changes…”

From:

“Effectiveness of Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes in Patients With Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, and/or Hyperglycemia”

American Journal of Cardiology 2004;94:1558-1561

“Moreover, therapeutic lifestyle changes can generally be implemented less expensively than most medications and, unlike single drug therapy, favorably impacts multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors.”

FOOD FUN FACT!

EAT A RAINBOW EVERYDAY!!!

Colorful fruits & vegetables deliver healthful doses of vitamins, minerals, and disease fighting

phytochemicals.

The darker the color of the fruit or vegetable, the more nutrients it contains…

National Health Organizations recommended Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC)

as a “first line” treatment

Circulation 2004;109:3244-3255

“At present, preventive health receives only sporadic attention, in the context of office visits for acute and chronic medical problems. Health care providers and medical organizations must transform this model into systems that provide preventive care and early detection as an integral part of standard medical practice.”

Presentation Objective

Review the system we use to provide Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC’s)

Our system is:

Supported by research Clinically effective Realistic and manageableFulfilling for us & our patients

From: AHA / NHLBI Scientific Statement

“Diagnosis and Management of the Metabolic Syndrome” An American Heart Association /

National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute Scientific Statement

Metabolic Syndrome confers:

A 2-fold increase in relative risk for ASCVD events. A 5-fold increase in risk for developing DM-II in

individuals without established diabetes.

“This finding implies that the metabolic syndrome imparts a relatively high long-term risk for both ASCVD and diabetes.”

Circulation 2005;112:000-000 @www.circulationaha.org

From:

“Prevalence of the Metabolic Syndrome Defined by the International Diabetes Federation Among Adults in the U.S.”

Diabetes Care 2005;28:2745-2749

“…almost 40% of U.S. adults were classified as having the metabolic syndrome...”

FOOD FUN FACT!

Regular Family Meals

encourage healthy eating habits &

reduce the risk of eating disorders

according to results

of a new study.

From:

“Metabolic Syndrome in Normal-Weight Americans New definition of the metabolically obese, normal weight individual

Diabetes Care 2004;27:2222-2228

“Individuals in the upper normal-weight and slightly overweight BMI range have a relatively high prevalence and are at increased risk of having the metabolic syndrome. Therefore, screening in individuals with normal or slightly elevated BMI is important in the prevention of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”

From:

“Metabolic Syndrome: Time for Action”

Am Fam Physician 2004;69:2875-82, 2887-8

“Soon metabolic syndrome will overtake cigarette smoking as the number one risk factor for heart disease among the U.S. population. The NCEP ATPIII has identified metabolic syndrome as an indication for vigorous lifestyle intervention.”

From:

“Metabolic Syndrome: Time for Action”

Am Fam Physician 2004;69:2875-82, 2887-8

“All patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome should be encouraged to change their diet and exercise habits as primary therapy.”

FOOD FUN FACT!

Inadequate intake of B-12 is more common than previously thought…

A new study showed that most people are 40% deficient in the vitamin

Low amounts of B-12 damages the nervous system, resulting in loss of feeling &

balance.It can also lead to dementia

FOOD FUN FACT! Back to Back

Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

Help protect the brain against plaque build-up

that can lead to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.

*Also, Omega-3 fatty acids also protect CV health by decreasing the risk of a heart

attack.
