Nutrition is an important factor associated with risks for chronic diseases. For example, we know that some dietary factors promote disease while others are preventative. Choose one chronic disease – cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes or cancer – and describe how nutrition can prevent or reduce the risk for that disease. Also, describe some nutritional behaviors that can increase the risk for your chosen disease.
