This blog post delves into the stark contrast between the seemingly fit people of the 1950s and our current struggle with obesity and lifestyle-related health conditions. It attributes this to two primary factors: the transformation of our food environment to favor calorie-dense, processed foods, and the shift towards more sedentary lifestyles. By referencing studies from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Circulation, it emphasizes the importance of energy balance and the impact of our changed food environment. To counteract these changes, the post suggests embracing whole foods, incorporating physical activity into daily life, and cooking more at home, essentially recommending a return to the basics for a healthier future.
