How can eating a healthy diet impact your body's ability to fight disease and other ailments? Research shows that eating nutritionally rich food may stave off lasting health implications over time. Listen up to learn:

• How ketogenic or plant-based diets impact the body
• How starches became vilified over the years
• The part sugar plays in your diet

John McDougall, the founder, and director of the nationally renowned McDougall Program, discusses his mission to help change the way people struggling with health or weight view a healthy diet.

Even though starchy foods have gotten a bad reputation in recent decades, eating a starch-based diet may improve your overall health. Since rich foods have found their way into the popular menu of America, the lack of nutrition and the requirement for additives has become an issue that drives up the average percent of obesity yearly.

Using a combination of proven educational techniques and an introduction to new nutritional options, the success rate for making a lasting change in lifestyle remains incredibly high. Starches may be the dietary answer many people struggling with their health are looking for and establishing a high-starch diet can even affect your chances of contracting various cancers.
