The average overweight or obese person with diabetes type-1 or type-2, heart, skin or gastrointestinal problems spends about three-five hours a year with doctors, checking prescriptions and general health. However, they spend thousands of hours a year on self-managing their condition. Traditional public service approach will give these patients more choice over their GP/Specialist, a booked appointment or a patient’s charter.
Our argument is that it would be far more productive to focus on the thousands of hours of self-managing one's illness through offering between people, for people support. It would be more productive to influence lifestyle and staple diet change as the primary cum new care paradigm supporting services (i.e. proactive-preventive-predictive-preemptive) that prevent an individual developing lifestyle diseases in the first place.
Why Staple Diet?
Because it is the most ate food by everyone in his or her lifetime journey and also because it is NOT a tastemaker. By eating staple from a PLANT and not from a GRASS makes a whole world of difference. Read the post INSIGHTS and you will be 100% convinced.
One of the more prominent public health issues concerns the Asian and American Diet, which is the mother of all obesity related chronic illnesses. It has proven that traditional services cannot adequately addressed it. Even institutionalised services cannot do much to tackle the escalating chronic disease burden. We believe, what might prevent the onset of such diseases is Everyone-Encourage-Everyone through the action theme "Learn to Love Those Food That Loves You Back."
EAT TO LIVE concept of H=N/C is the revelation for the general public to feel empowered when they make a healthy choice in konjac-based staple food, instead of feeling deprived when they bypass white rice, which is rapidly processed into sugar, and only fills you up for a short period of time. As for eating instant noodle or ramen, remind yourself what happens when it is inside your stomach - during this long digestive time, your stomach gets prolonged exposure to the toxic preservative tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) and other additives, such as MSG. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, State of Illinois Licensed Physician and Surgeon and Fellow at the American College of Nutrition, eating just twice a week and 68% is more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
