Health Is Easy To Win, But Difficult To Buy
With all the present news about our health care crisis, it is worth asking how we got into it. The culprit is history, not conspiracy.
Consider that the latest several hundred years witnessed a huge technology change from the prior several hundred millenia in which we evolved from cave men.
Item: Nearly all of the presently treatable medical conditions were unknown when our average life span was about 20 to 35 years. Blame not only ignorance, but the fact that our ancestors died before the symptoms could show up.
Item: Before refrigeration, non alcoholic juices did not exist much beyond harvest. Before water purification, most people of all ages had to drink beer or dilute wine to prevent ghastly diseases, such as cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever. Now モンクレール, heavy use of alcoholic beverages is known to damage heart, liver, brain, and to help cause Alzheimer's. By the way, tea is also a good prevention for water borne diseases モンクレール.
Item: Before gas and electric motors, good "health foods" included fatty sausages. Fat helped to preserve foods, allowed compact transport of a day's calories, and let us stay alive without spending all day eating, as cows do. Now, being overweight and using tobacco are the two major contributors to nearly every disease, including blindness and cancer.
Item: Fit or fat used to be a choice only for royalty moncler ダウン, priests, government employees, and wealthy merchants. Everyone else got a lot of exercise モンクレール ダウン, whether they wanted to or not.
Item: Salt used to be very precious, away from where it was harvested in some way. Too little salt in the diet means lack of stamina, poor resistance to heat, digestive and excretion problems, heart attack, and so forth. Now, excess salt and sodium based preservatives are a major contributor to high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, some forms of cancer.
Item: Refined sugar is a relatively recent invention. Ethnic foods from older cultures were made sweeter with honey, dried fruits, and so forth. Present per capita consumption of sweeteners is now about 25 times the level of 1901, and growing. Prepared foods at the grocery store now have sugar, fructose, honey in things that taste quite good without that stuff, thank you. These additives not only help make us fat, but cause medical conditions in children that are then treated with drugs. That is DUMB. Low calorie sweeteners (aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose) are no better, because they can cause the symptoms of some really serious diseases, such as cancers, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.
Recognition of a problem situation can be the first step towards resolving it. We have done that.
The next step ought to be correctly identifying causes, so we can deal with them. We are NOT doing very well on that part.
We tend to completely ignore prevention as a health factor, with a few exceptions. Instead, we wait for problems to develop, then demand magic pills, risky surgery, and other means to supposedly undo our negligence. Sorry folks, but medical procedures seldom restore perfect health.
We tend to seek out false sources of wisdom, supported by wishful thinking. Self proclaimed representatives of God will not reverse cancer, blindness, circulatory diseases モンクレール ダウン, senility, et cetera, nor will any of those fake experts offering quack alternative medicines and herbal remedies. We are smart enough to put a man on the moon, but dumb enough to pay billions of dollars annually for "cures" that defy all science.
So what should we be doing instead? Basically, we should practice lifestyles which support health. Concentrate more on prevention and less on heroic cures.
Prevention does not necessarily mean following Prevention Magazine. The founder, J ダウン モンクレール.I. Rodale, was obese, and died of a heart attack at age 72 while recording an appearance on the Dick Cavett show in 1971. Nor does it mean insisting on "natural" vitamins which are no more beneficial than synthetics.
Prevention means at least moderate exercise at least 5 days per week モンクレール ダウン. This does not require any gym or fancy equipment. Even some easy stretches and a two mile walk can help prevent many kinds of cancer, heart disease, ulcers, et cetera.
Prevention means matching your food consumption to the present needs of your body. Most ethnic foods can be adjusted to lower salt and saturated fats without harming taste. Most snack foods, candies, pastries can be replaced with raw or dried fruits and vegetables. If your body is streamlined moncler ダウン, you are using the calories you eat. If you can grab more than a small pinch of flesh around your middle, you need to cut back on fast foods and lazy meal preparations モンクレール ダウン.
Prevention means understanding these latest paragraphs, then guiding your children into making good life style choices early on. Don't be blind to obesity in your children. View photographs of present athletes or typical children from around 1940 - 1970 to see what should be normal physiques.
Health is easy to win, but difficult to buy ダウン モンクレール.

� Palapas kitchens that are separate from the house w. or without a thatch roof
� Wood Decks stacked with rounded or curved edges モンクレール ダウン.
� Waterfalls a water element creates the sound of privacy drowning out urban noises.
� Tile Mosaics with bright colors of the tropics aqua blues, reds, and yellows turning a pool into a tropical piece of art.
