    Hypertension is one of the most important public health problems worldwide. It is a common cause of cardiovascular disease, including ischemic heart disease and ultimately cardiac failure (Pimenta and Calhoun, 2012; Quam et al., 2006).

  • Correlates for Healthful Snacking among Middle-income Midwestern Women

    2009, Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior
    Citation Excerpt :

    The women in the present study need educational interventions that teach them how to identify snack food items that are low in trans fat and high in fiber. Because the overweight/obese participants, in particular, are at risk of developing several chronic diseases,2 it is important that they be able to recognize more healthful snack options and that they understand the health implications of consuming energy-dense snacks on a regular basis. Registered dietitians are uniquely qualified to offer their clients personalized diet counseling, including skill-building interventions to enhance self-confidence and overcome perceived barriers for making healthful snack choices.
