Healthy Eating Habits Are Discussed on 'Behind The Scenes' with Host James Earl Jones for Public Television

"Behind the Scenes," hosted by award-winning actor James Earl Jones (The Lion King, Star Wars, The Sandlot), will be featuring a segment on healthy eating habits.

The segment is aimed at helping people understand the role nutrition plays in overall health, losing weight, and combating illness and disease. Even though the link between health and nutrition is well-known, many make food choices based on convenience, desire, and cost instead of nutrition.

Healthy eating habits are important not only for people wanting to lose weight, but for those who want to improve overall health. Poor nutrition is frequently a factor in illnesses and diseases including diabetes, heart disease, and others. Conversely, healthy eating habits can counteract damage done to the body, improve health, and help people lose weight. By learning about healthy eating habits, people can move away from unhealthy foods and instead make choices that promote a healthier lifestyle. When healthy eating habits are used in conjunction with medical treatments, patients can not only lose weight, but help alleviate the symptoms of some illnesses and diseases.

Behind the Scenes is an award-winning program aired on public television stations around the country, but is a production independent of any affiliation with APT or PBS.
