GRASS ROOTS
EFK's core focus is to help individuals ‘make change’. The second key focus is to work with and influence the food industry to develop a range of slower-digesting food options. These foods keep people ‘fuller for longer’, promote ‘sustained energy’ and are 'diabetic’ friendly.
EFK's team has a collective goal to create a ‘dynamic movement’ that will eventually have a long-term positive influence on our obesogenic world.
THE EFK INITIATIVE - TACKLING TYPE 2 DIABETES AND OBESITY
WE NEED YOU - People are either struggling in this area or know someone who is. As a taxpayer you certainly need to pay attention - help us make this important initiative fly.
- Most people do not understand that too much glucose in their blood on a regular basis will inevitably lead to type 2 diabetes, obesity and other life threatening diseases.
- The EFK initiative is about raising national awareness in this area and providing relevant resources and support to help.
- Our first event showcased 50 people, who by knowing about this have achieved permanent weight loss and avoided type 2 diabetes.
- NZ's MOH and others around the world predict by 2028, 10% of pop. will have type 2 and 40% will be at risk.
- This is preventable as experts' acknowledge that they know what causes it and how to fix it. We have a track record to prove this, and we say, with the right education and support, numbers should decrease and not increase by 50%.
- This event has been filmed and the video will be on You Tube later in May. We will keep you posted as to which date.
