Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 473: Risk Factors are Risk Factors No Matter How Your Group Them

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  

Risk factors for Lifestyle diseases are increased BMI, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and metabolic dysfunction ranging from glucose intolerance to diabetes.  Traditionally, younger people do not get lifestyle diseases because they may either have no risk factors or only have one.  More and more younger people now have multiple risk factors in the presence of glucose intolerance.  This places them at increased risk for the early development of lifestyle diseases.  

Studies claiming that cholesterol is not bad often look towards a young population with no other risk factors.  They may not manifest disease as quickly and it is assumed that they never will.  Some may not but we just don't know.  Often, we hang onto studies that support our nutritional choices even though we may not have anything in common with the study population.  Risk factors are there and cumulative.  Work on eliminating them and you might just avoid a lifestyle disease.  

If you are interested in getting healthy by adopting a plant based lifestyle and daily exercise, give us a shout.  We can get you on track.
