TED: Dr Dean Ornish on obesity, diabetes & cardio-vascular disease
April 28, 2008 by sknutrition
Having discovered my all-time favourite website - www.ted.com - this weekend, I thought I’d share one of the many fascinating talks from it.
In a sobering 3-minute talk, Dr. Dean Ornish tracks the dramatic spread of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease around the globe — as people outside the US start to eat, live and die like Americans do. “This may be the first generation in which our kids live a shorter lifespan than we do,” Ornish says. The good news? These trends are preventable and even reversible through diet and exercise.

Dean Ornish is a clinical professor at UCSF and founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute. He’s a leading expert on fighting illness - particularly heart disease with dietary and lifestyle changes. There are a number of other talks from Dr Ornish on TED.com.
