Course Description

This course is to teach law enforcement officers how poor habits (dietary as well as others) can have a detrimental effect on the quality of their lives. It approaches this issue by focusing on four of the major diseases which are related to stressful and secondary work environments (coronary heart disease , cancer, diabetes, and obesity). Each disease process is discussed and emphasis is placed on the causes and cures of these conditions. Concluding statements address how diet and lifestyle can play a role in the development of an improved lifestyle as well as an increased length of life.
