Influence Family Well-being Across Generations
from Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease―and How to Fight It by Benjamin Bikman
How to Apply This
-
Encourage all family members to check for signs of insulin resistance. Low birthweight, PCOS, gestational diabetes, or a family history of obesity call for extra vigilance and early action.
-
Promote balanced, nutrient-rich meals from the start. Avoid excessive processed foods, high sugar intake, and large blood sugar swings especially in childhood and during pregnancy.
-
Educate and support healthy habits, not weight obsession. Model healthy choices and open conversations about food, activity, and body image with children, partners, and elders.
