a broad term that encompasses<br />

Requiring continuous medical<br />
attention and/or limiting daily<br />
living.1<br />
Six out of ten Americans will develop<br />
at least one chronic disease (CDC),<br />
such as heart disease, stroke, or type 2<br />
diabetes.2 However, lifestyle factors<br />
like adequate nutrition are a<br />
preventative measures to fight against<br />
