Obesity: A Powerful Perspective

Obesity continues to rise and is associated with many health risks including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, depression, sexual function, respiratory function, memory and cognition, and more.

Along with the health risks, obesity brings a huge social stigma along with it. This stigma is largely driven by our belief that people with obesity have no self-control or willpower.

Obesity is not caused by lack of willpower or laziness. There are strong biochemical factors that alter the body’s metabolism and storage of fat.

A GUT-HEALTHY PERSPECTIVE ON THE NEW CANADA'S FOOD GUIDE

Last month the Government of Canada came out with a new Canada’s Food Guide that is radically different from the old one. This new guide was formed with a lot of public input, whereas previous versions were influenced heavily by industry input, which was evident in the strong focus on dairy, meat and grains. In this blog I’d like to summarize some of the good and bad in the new guide (in case you haven’t perused it yet), and give you some tips on how the guide can be easily modified for gut-health.
