About the event

Man-Made Epidemic of Chronic Disease
Man-Made Epidemic of Chronic Disease
Saturday, August 16th at 11:00 a.m.
with Jeanne Schumacher, M.Ed, Ed.D
Founder: PlantBasedAcademy.Net

Overview: This lecture will explore the rising prevalence of chronic diseases across the globe, focusing on how human behaviors, lifestyle choices, and societal structures have contributed to this modern epidemic. It will discuss the complex interplay of factors such as diet, physical inactivity, and stress, which are shaping the chronic disease landscape.

Key Learning Objectives:
1) Understanding Chronic Diseases: Define chronic diseases and differentiate them from acute conditions. Explore common examples such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and respiratory diseases.
2) Human Influence: Discuss how human activities—ranging from diet choices (processed foods, sugar, unhealthy fats) to sedentary lifestyles (lack of exercise, screen time)—have contributed to the onset and escalation of these diseases.
