Dear Concerned Health Alerts Reader:

You know that eating right will help you maintain a healthy weight.

You know that watching what you eat helps you stay fit and trim.

You also know that a healthy diet may even protect you against a variety of chronic health conditions:

  • coronary heart disease
  • diabetes
  • osteoporosis
  • high cholesterol
  • high blood pressure
  • arthritis
  • certain types of cancer, like colon cancer.

So WHY is it so hard to eat right and control your weight?

Because there are so many obstacles to your healthy eating:

    • your busy lifestyle
    • the ready availability of convenience foods
    • super-sized portions
    • too little time for physical activity
    • our society's emphasis on sharing food and drink with friends and family
    • your genetics
    • your metabolism
    • conflicting information on what really works when it comes to nutrition and weight loss.

Fortunately, help is at hand in your quest for good nutrition and safe, effective weight loss.

    Introducing...

Johns Hopkins White Paper: Nutrition and Weight Control

The 2008 Johns Hopkins White Paper:
Nutrition and Weight Control

The expertise you need in the layman's language
you can understand and use.

The 2008 Johns Hopkins White Paper: Nutrition and Weight Control gives you effective everyday strategies for achieving good nutrition direct from our Johns Hopkins' specialists, to help you keep your weight under control and increase your chances of maintaining your good health and physical fitness for many years to come.

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 65% of the U.S. population is overweight or obese. We're bombarded hundreds of times every day with supposed healthy eating advice. How can we know what really works when it comes to losing weight?

Watching what you eat and keeping your weight under control might seem like an uphill battle at times--or even a losing battle. You might think, "It's too late to make any real difference now."

Here's the good news: IT'S NEVER TOO LATE to start living a healthier lifestyle.

Even small changes in diet and weight can have a big impact on your health, energy level, fitness, appearance and overall wellbeing.

It's NOT enough to be able to live longer than ever before if we lose the things that are most important to us, or have to sacrifice our independence, mobility, and quality of life.

Be honest:

  • Have your annual family activity holidays been replaced by more sedentary cruises or sightseeing?
  • Are you dreading your daughter's wedding because you'll have to get up to dance in front of everyone?
  • Are you having a tough time keeping up with your children or grandchildren?
  • Has your latest check-up at the doctor's not gone too well?
  • Do you have a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke, or colon cancer?
  • Do you want to maintain or even improve your fitness and energy levels?

If you've answered "YES" to any of these questions, NOW is the time to act.

In the first section of Nutrition and Weight Control 2008, you'll learn the basics of good nutrition and how much of each nutrient you should be consuming. You'll learn about the nutrients that play the most important roles in preventing and managing chronic diseases, so you can get the most value out of the calories you consume.

In the second section of Nutrition and Weight Control 2008, you'll learn how heredity and metabolism are two weight factors that can't be controlled. Research confirms there is a lot more to losing weight than mere willpower or exercise.
