Author Biography
Denise Marks is a retired medical doctor who has renewed her interest in writing and teaching. She specializes in writing about subjects related to medicine, nutrition, health as well as safe and effective means of weight loss. After more than 20 years as a practicing family physician, she has retired to the Mountain Home area of Arkansas to begin a "physician guided weight loss program" that focuses on good nutrition and healthy life style changes that will be beneficial in not only correcting health problems but will also help individuals achieve their ideal weight, a healthier life style and prevent many of today's age-related metabolic medical diseases. For example, it is well documented that being over-weight as well as eating to many empty high caloric simple carbohydrates (i.e., sweet tasting snacks and soda drinks that contain high fructose corn syrup as well as artificial nonnutritive sweeteners) is the number one cause of diabetes, heart disease and/or hypertension which is now known as the "metabolic syndrome." And this syndrome is becoming pandemic in America; mainly due to life styles that involve eating too many sweets (simple carbohydrates) and participating less in physical activity. It has now recognized that eating nutritious foods and maintaining a healthy weight is at the top of the list for preventing or correcting many of these modern day metabolic medical problems.
