Abstract

The process of changing eating patterns is one that can be challenging for health providers and patients alike. However, adopting healthy habits around food provides significant benefits for individuals, communities, and health care systems. The potential rewards of effectively counseling patients about nutrition include improved hemoglobin A1c, decreased blood pressure, improved weight management, increased self-confidence, and increased personal satisfaction. Whenever healthy habits are the subject of a research project, diet is one of the main components of the investigation. For example, the Nurses’ Health Study [1] examined five healthy factors: (1) maintaining a healthy BMI, (2) exercising regularly, (3) eating a healthy diet, (4) not smoking, and (5) drinking alcohol only in moderation.
