World Diabetes Day

Here, Dr. Chand, a former food addict, stroke survivor, and retired neuroscientist, prediabetic, discusses the impact of food addiction on public health:

1. World Diabetes Day: A significant campaign in November aimed at raising diabetes awareness globally.
2. Food Addiction and Health Risks: Food addiction, fueled by deceptive advertising targeting vulnerable populations, is considered a significant factor in various modern diseases, including obesity, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and dementia.
3. Impact of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs): UPFs comprise a large share of the American diet and contain chemicals that sabotage the brain's pleasure centers. These chemicals drive hunger and decrease satiety by disrupting complex endocrinology in the digestive system. This leads to overconsumption and contributes to visceral obesity and other health issues.
4. Socioeconomic Influence: The report highlights government subsidies and the food industry's influence through campaign funding, suggesting that policy changes are needed to reduce the availability and consumption of UPFs.
5. Proposed Solutions: Dr. Chand is promoting sustainable, plant-based foods and education and awareness about the causes and consequences of visceral obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes, targeting low-income and disabled populations. This could improve diet quality and reduce the burden of food addiction and its serious health consequences.

This information could be powerful content for an awareness presentation, especially emphasizing the connection between diet, public health, and industry influence in perpetuating food-related health issues.??

World Diabetes Day?is the world's most extensive diabetes awareness campaign.
