Stay healthy from head to toe with these natural health tips
The Health Epidemic
The state of health of many people today is quite alarming. According to statistics, two-thirds of American adults are overweight, while over a quarter of adults now fall into the obese category. Type 2 diabetes is prevalent, with one in four Americans now diabetic or pre-diabetic.
Since the mid-1990s, the number of Americans suffering from at least three chronic illnesses almost doubled. Life expectancy has decreased, while infant mortality has increased. Illnesses once considered rare – like heart disease, stroke, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease – are now common. Some are even approaching epidemic levels.
But here’s something that’s even more disturbing: Americans spend twice as much on health care per capita than any other country in the world but rank last among industrialized countries in terms of quality of health care. We spend more money to stay healthy, but we maintain a poor state of health. Why is this happening?
It is time for you to take matters into your own hands, so you can start moving up the ladder of optimal health.
We are being brainwashed by the conventional health paradigm. If you have been reading Mercola.com for some time now, then you know that the current health paradigm is fundamentally flawed. Here’s one example: Americans were estimated to spend more than 280 billion dollars on prescription drugs in 2013 alone. But these prescription and over-the-counter drugs are now actually a leading cause of death in the country, resulting in more deaths than motor vehicle accidents!
The sad fact is that many people have been led to believe that being optimally healthy depends exclusively on the quality of drugs and medical procedures that you receive – and how much you spend for them. But keep in mind that your health is YOUR responsibility. You are the only person who can make the lifestyle decisions that contribute to your wellbeing. It is up to you to take the steps to preserve your health and promote your wellness.
Remember, your body is designed to be healthy – and once you provide it with the tools and the essentials for self-healing and preservation, then you won’t have to resort to medical intervention.
