Their profession has nothing to do with keeping you disease free but all they are suppose to do is make sure that when the disease arrives, they can ward it off with prescriptions and other treatments, that is if they diagnose you properly. The problem here is that an average individual is most likely to be on some sort of medication. Studies indicate that 50% of people above the ages of 65 are on 5 or more pills. The higher the pill intake, the higher the chances of having harmful side-effects.Other than cholesterol lowering drugs, blood pressure pills and low dose aspirins are prescribed with a free hand, the higher the intake is the more likely they are to cause more damage. Say NO to drugs as much as possible.
  2. Practice a healthy living style with proper eating habits and exercise. In order to achieve a healthy body, you must let go being a lazy slob and lethargic.
