Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."

"I was taking all these pills like an old woman," said Naar, a neonatology nurse at Baptist Hospital. "My blood pressure is hereditary, but I added to it by adding the pounds and eating horribly every day." . . .

A nutritionist took her shopping and introduced her to the joys of cauliflower. She upped her workouts, stopped eating hamburgers three times a week and scaled back on the Cold Stone pistachio ice cream.

Today, Naar is 20 pounds lighter and down to two pills a day.

Which evidence does the author use to support the argument that people can improve their health by making small changes to their diets?
