With all the technological advances at our disposal today we have excellent systems in place to treat disease and crisis situations like trauma associated with severe accidents. This is great but it does very little to prevent the most common chronic degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, that affect so many people today.
It has become very clear that the only way you can protect yourself from these conditions is through proper lifestyle choices like good nutrition, regular exercise, a positive mental outlook, better ability to cope with stressors in your life and other factors. You are the only person who can improve and maintain optimal health. No one else can do it for you; not your doctor or the government.
In Canada we can no longer sustain the health care system that we’ve created. It consumes the largest part of the government’s budget and it works primarily on treating disease as opposed to promoting health.
It is no different in the U.S., where countless billions of dollars are spent on treating disease, primarily through drugs and surgery. The health of a nation is measured by the health of its people. With the baby boomers getting older, obesity present in a large portion of the population and many children not practicing good health habits we are heading for a financial and health crisis unlike anything
we have ever witnessed.
