JOINT SESSION- Eat Well to Live Well: Perspectives on Physical Health Food not only delivers needed energy to fuel our body, but provides essential nutrients to enable our bodies to function well. Unfortunately, in the U.S. we are consuming an excessive amount of calories, many of which of devoid of nutritional value. In addition, our lives have become increasingly sedentary. These, in combination, have resulted in major health ramifications including an epidemic of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Dr. Sacheck will discuss these topics in detail and highlight both national and local community-based studies and efforts that are working to prevent poor nutrition, physical inactivity and the onset of chronic disease. Jen Sacheck, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Nutrition at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.

Dr. Sacheck's research focuses on the intersection of diet, physical fitness, and health. Past studies include examining the effects of nutrition and exercise on muscle physiology in young and older adults and on cardiovascular disease risk factors in children. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Sacheck is currently conducting a large clinical trial on vitamin D deficiency and associated health risks in children. She has authored several pivotal reports on obesity and physical inactivity in New England and was an appointed member of the Institute of Medicine's committee on Fitness and Health Outcomes in Youth.
