#23 Is Red Meat Bad? What’s Really Healthy? Cutting Through the Dietary Confusion on How To Fight Disease
Dive into the complexities of diet recommendations and discover how what’s on your plate and how you live can combat cancer and enhance health.
We learn that 50% of all cancers and up to 70% of lifestyle disease are preventable by a healthy diet and lifestyle choices.
The conversation explores why all the confusion on what is a healthy diet and the synergistic health benefits when combined with healthy lifestyle habits. This episode we talk about if red meat is bad and what about processed meats causing cancer? Should we be eating a low carbohydrate or high carbohydrate diet or is high protein good for us and what about fat? Should we eat butter now that we know transfats are not healthy? How much protein do we need in our diet and which types are most disease protective and increase our healthy longevity?
Explore dietary truths to understand how healthy eating and lifestyle choices can prevent cancer and improve overall health.
