Diseases & Nutrition

Common diseases are rising sharply

According to ourworldindata.org, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are increasing sharply. From cancer alone, 10 million people die worldwide every year – almost 10× more than all road accidents, and far more than any wars – and that, every year.

The most common diseases

The chart below shows you the most common causes (diseases) people died from worldwide in 2019. As you can see, cancer with 10 million deaths is by far not even the most common cause of death...

Shouldn't we do something about it?

Nutrition against disease

The biggest common denominator of these diseases is nutrition. Nutrition is not only the biggest denominator – it is entirely in our hands; we can change it however we like. Other factors that statistically have a far smaller influence on the overall population can't be changed directly – in fact, we can often only influence them through our diet and lifestyle. Experts assume that a healthy diet could prevent a large share of around 70–90 common diseases.

Nutrition – the biggest lever

So why not start there and look a little deeper into nutrition? A healthy diet not only helps against disease – it also serves your mental health, your contentment, and is pure enjoyment too!
