The Road to Health Lies in Food Quality, Not Counting Calories
If your goal is improved health, focusing solely on calories won't get you there. Food is medicine… it can heal your body, but only if you choose wisely. That's why BetterBites focuses on increasing the quality of the foods and beverages in your diet - steering you away from processed ingredients that cause chronic & deadly diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) "An unhealthy diet is one of the major risk factors for a range of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and other conditions linked to obesity."2
Diseases Begin in the Gut and That's Where We Need to Fight Back
"Being an Adjunct Nutrition Science Professor and practicing Licensed Dietitian for the past 15 years, I see the harmful effects of poor food choices on the health and well-being of my patients", said Kelly Burgess, Executive Director of To Better Health, LLC and creator of BetterBites.
Healthy food strengthens the gut, builds up the body's defense system and helps protect us from disease.
Unhealthy food tears down the gastrointestinal system, weakens defense mechanisms and breeds disease.
"I wanted to take what I do on a daily basis - helping people improve their health through nutrition - to a much larger audience to help fight the epidemic of obesity and chronic disease facing the United States" said Burgess.
