Kenneth Cooper, MD, founder of the world renowned Cooper Clinic in Dallas Texas, stated, "In 1968 when my first book Aerobics was published, and in 1970, when I founded The Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas, preventive medicine was still a new concept. I wanted to help move medicine away from a strict emphasis on disease treatment toward disease prevention through exercise, diet, and stress control."
We owe thanks to Dr. Cooper for awakening awareness in all of us to not only exercise but how our diet can help or hinder our overall health. He continued on to say, "From the beginning, we emphasized aerobics and nutrition. The two go hand in hand. Not that it's always easy to eat right or to change ingrained habits - our busy lives put our nutrition at risk. We grab food on the run without thinking about what we are putting into our bodies. When we do try to eat better, we are often confused about what we should eat." Dr. Cooper's last statement there is why I started this blog. My goal is to help us all, yes - me as well as you, - learn to use food to help our bodies be healthy working machines.
"A sensible and well-informed approach to eating is essential to good health." by Kenneth Cooper, MD
