Summary
Oftentimes, the so-called diseases of affluence, like diabetes or high blood pressure, are due to improper diet as you age. By eating food with fewer carbohydrates and more fat, you can maintain a normal weight and become free of the symptoms of, for example, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (enteritis), chronic fatigue syndrome, and sleep disorders.
