Health: Prevention

Prevention

Written by Dr. Donald A. Miller

Prevention is a wonderful word that is too little appreciated by people in North America and many other countries. Just look at recent news.

Prevention applies to mega forest fires (controlled burns in advance), earthquakes (better construction in California than Iran saved lives during similar levels of earth tremors), and many diseases.

Unfortunately, repparttar medical - pharmacology complex finds it far more profitable to treat diseases with pills and "procedures" (surgery), than to prevent them with good diet and lifestyle practices.

Unfortunately, most of us prefer magic cures to taking responsibility for our own health.

What is far worse is that many tests and surgeries are popular, but actually do little for overall longevity.

Examples:

CHOLESTEROL level in blood is easy to test, but is not repparttar 115431 whole story for heart attack and stroke. But pill pushers love to sell drugs to reduce cholesterol levels.

Overweight Gurus

Written by Dr. Donald A. Miller

Diet is a topic much discussed in theory, neglected in practice. I am amused that photos and TV images of most weight loss gurus in USA show them to be "pleasingly plump", that is to say, OVERWEIGHT.

While "juicy" (or "zaftig" or "zoftic") bodies can provide sex appeal in repparttar eyes of some viewers, comparison of health statistics of third generation Asian-Americans to Asian-Asians shows that low fat diets help longevity, and that soy foods increase resistance to numerous diseases.
