Why do American die earlier and have poorer health?
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

Your longevity is inversely prosportional to your waist size
Live healthy and long
From Dr. Mercola archive
Dr. Carlos Zapatos, our family physician has repeatedly told our employees of the importance of being slim and fit. The waist size is inversely proportional to longevity.
Those whose waist size is above 40 inches are most likely to die of cardiovascular diseases or other diseases.
Flab on the waist means:
l. Fat on the liver
2. Fat on the lungs
3. Fat around the heart.
So we have been making posts on:
l. Abs work out
2. Lessening fat: the leptin theory
3. Exercise.

High Health Care Costs Do Not Translate into Good Health?Longevity
Effective Cures that are Cheap for Everyone
This recent report on Health Care Costs and Longevity make us conclude that there is something more to longevity and good health. US is the first in health care spending at about $6,000/capita (some say it is at $8,000. But it is the 27th in longevity.
The entire world has spent $4.0 trillion on health care.
Other countries like China, Sri Lanka and Singapore spent less but had better longevity.
It is therefore wrong to assume that spending more means better health. This is the mental model of current health care cost: hospitals with latest equipment, more expensive medicine, more research. The sad thing in US for instance is that cure rate for cancer and other chronic diseases has not budged over the years, nor has treatment protocols.
That good health is impossible with cheapcures is a heresy.
Yes we can improve quality of life not with more health expenditures.
This blog is about that.
