Certain overall suggestions are shared, these involve national efforts such as:
Public education about eating habits and stress management.

Engaging in advocacy for government action
A second link will show a diagram of a nutrition pyramid. The health of the food that we eat is greatest at the bottom and less at the top of the pyramid.
