A question with which I have long struggled is how the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices competes with this kind of influence on the priorities of doctors and hospitals. As my friend Dr. Michael Greger notably pointed out to me, “When's the last time, your doctor was taken out to dinner by big broccoli?
It's probably been a while.” That is a larger question our society needs to answer. But in the meantime, there is something you can do to take control of your own health, and this book will help you do exactly that. Knowledge Is Power Reading this gloom and doom account of the health-care dilemma we face today might make you want to throw up your hands, especially if you're living with a chronic disease yourself. My intention, however, is to give you an objective, comprehensive view of the problem because I believe that knowledge is power .
I also know that people are often inspired to change from a place of desperation, as I was. The state of the world and your own health can fuel your own powerful personal transformation. Although the situation appears grim, the solution is very accessible. We know exactly what we need to do to change the lives of millions of people across the world. For your own sake, I also want you to know that while these problems are systemic and pervasive, you are not alone . There is a way forward. My other hope with this book is to show you that not only is the solution available to you right now, but it can also be enjoyable . Taking care of your health doesn't have to be the heavy, expensive, exhausting burden it's often made out to be in our culture. It can be joyful, rewarding, delicious, and fun! Healthy nutrition can be a wealth of colors, textures, and tastes. Movement can be play. Stress can be transformed into peace.
I know this with 100 percent certainty because I've seen it in my own life as well as those of my patients. And here's the exciting thing about this approach: it applies to basically all chronic diseases. Doctors are trained in medical school that each area of medicine is separate. The benefit of specialization is that we have ultraprecise tools and practices at our disposal, which we certainly need. We memorize long lists of drugs and learn procedures to treat heart problems that don't cross over into treatment of cancer or diabetes. This seems to make sense on the surface, but the research into lifestyle medicine shows that there is a much better way YICHANG.
The improvements gained by changes in lifestyle factors are felt in the whole body. If you are using lifestyle medicine to manage MS, for example, your risk for developing heart disease or diabetes also drops significantly PE Gloves. That's the simplicity and beauty of this approach to health and healing. It's time to retake control of our illnesses, our health, and our lives—individually and as a society. Together we can do this. Our society needs a wake-up call TPE gloves.
