Live healthy and long
From Dr. Mercola archives | January 2013
Despite spending twice $8,600, the amount of average GDP on health care (because of bloated medical charge and expenses by US hospitals and pharma) US comes last in health and longevity among 17 affluent nations of the world. This is contained in an analysis: US Health in International Perspective: Shorter Lives, Poorer Health
Public health is affected by 1. nutrition, 2. exercise and 3. exposure to toxins and yet these 3 areas are largely ignored in the US.
Nutrition: US consumes GMO products, transfat oil, and HFCS in many foodstuffs. Thus there is diabetes and heart diseases, cancer and inflammation
Toxins: in air, house care products, in water, in cosmetics, plastics, and in medicines. Many synthetic drugs, are taken. Americans take the most number of pills per capita; drugs have at least 70 SE each. Water is polluted.
Exercise: 30% of Americans lead a sedentary life and therefore have lifestyle diseases
Some of Mercolas guideline for healthy living:
l. Replace juices and sodas with pure water; (Nikken or Kangen water?)
2. Eat a healthy diet, avoid processed and junk foods
3, Avoid GMO food
4. Avoid exposure to toxins,
5. Exercise regularly
6. Expose yourself to the sun but not too much in the Phl, you may have heat stroke
