The Standard American Diet has a fitting acronym: SAD. The diet of the typical American is indeed “sad,” and woefully deficient. While 63% of America’s diet calories come from refined and processed foods and 25% are from animal-based foods, only 12% come from plant-based foods. In this episode of HealthLine Live Radio Show, Dr. Robert Marshall, Ph.D. and beloved co-founder of Quantum Nutrition Labs, reveals some key diet adjustments you can make in order to support ideal weight and optimal health.

In other words, too many of us are overweight and even obese ... and that number continues to climb each year. The simple condition of reaching and maintaining a healthy weight tremendously supports your overall health and is an enormous help to prevent and control many diseases and conditions.

 The original Mediterranean diet consists of wild-caught fish (as well as some meat and poultry), fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts, moderate consumption of alcohol (such as 1 – 2 glasses of red wine with dinner), and monosaturated fats from olive oil.

If you’re like most Americans, you see the significant value in taking dietary supplements to ensure you get enough essential nutrients, especially vitamins and minerals. After all, 9 out of 10 Americans simply do not get the FDA’s recommended daily intake of fruits (1-2 cups) and vegetables (2-3 cups). Unfortunately, when you purchase a dietary supplement, you might be getting more than what you bargained for -- and not in a good way. 

More than 12% of people will have some sort of problem with their thyroid during their lifetime. To avoid this, are you nutritionally supporting your thyroid with all it needs to function normally? This butterfly-shaped gland, located at the front of the neck just below the larynx, helps to regulate your metabolism by constantly releasing a steady amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream.  

If you frequently think "I should get some exercise today” or “Time to hit the gym,” you’re right! Make today the day that you start a more active lifestyle. The benefits of exercise go far beyond simply shedding unwanted weight and fitting back into your old jeans.

Do you have concerns about your bladder or urinary tract? Both organs are critical areas in the body that need to function at their best for you to experience optimal health.
