Prevention of illness is the most effective way in which to create a healthy population. Unfortunately our healthcare system is set up completely backward. What we have in place today should be called sickness care! We spend the majority of our healthcare dollars on medication and surgeries which are used to manage diseases that have already taken hold of our body's. I wonder what would happen if we changed our outlook on healthcare and spent the majority of our money on prevention through education? What do you think? I believe we would see a drastic decline in lifestyle diseases such as cancer, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and obesity. We would also be setting a great example for further generations by showing them exactly how to create health rather than just telling them.
