Recent studies have revealed links between poor nutrition and a number of health conditions such as fatigue, depression, and even obesity. The Centers for Disease Control associate poor nutrition as a risk factor for the leading causes of death which include heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. Andrea Schnowske D.C., owner of AlignLife reports, “There really is a need for better nutrition especially for children in our community. When children aren’t eating regular meals it can result in long-term development, cognitive and even physical health challenges that can tax the whole family.”
