Just a hundred years ago, many of the most common human afflictions were the result of an insufficient intake of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, due largely to the lack of availability or high cost of fruit and vegetables. Today, the pendulum has swung to the other extreme and although now almost everyone can afford and access fresh fruit and vegetables, we prefer to replace them with “convenience” foods.

The most common diseases we see today have strong links with the changes in diet and lifestyle that have happened during the years. Reduced physical activity and habitual inactivity also accompany the nutrition transition in persons of all ages.

Studies have shown that in the past 15-20 years, there has been a steady growth in cases of children with developmental delays such as autism, dyslexia, attention disorder and hyperactivity. This stream of disability is not limited to children with developmental delays alone as there have been reports on an upsurge of obesity.

Currently more than 1 billion adults are overweight - and at least 300 million of them are clinically obese. Childhood obesity is already epidemic in some countries and on the rise in others. An estimated 22 million children under five are estimated to be overweight worldwide. Obesity's health implications are deadly; they include increased prevalence of diabetes, coronary heart disease, certain cancers and stroke.
