Help me give your interpretation

Hi,

Help me give your interpretation to the red sentence in the paragraph below.
And tell me what is the right word to "hwcan" ?
Thank you for your help.

[Like a great ship at sea, though, the American medical profession is slowly turning toward a better understanding and appreciation of what nutritional biochemists have long known: you hwcan do yourself a world of good not only by not eating the wrong things but also by seeking out and eating the right things. The kicker is that what’s right (i.e., optimal) changes somewhat as we age, so we must all learn and adapt as we go along.]

Hi MM,

In "do yourself a world of good", I have a special feeling of "do": to perform the action that are necessary in order to complete something which is very good for yourself or bring it into a desired state

Please tell me is it correct or not?

'Do' has no such special meaning; it simply means 'perform the action'.
