The Key to Affordable Health Care !
|
 Scientists are reporting a breakthrough
therapy to lower the risk of developing the most common and deadly
chronic diseases by about 80 percent.
The therapy is called taking care of yourself: not smoking, exercising
regularly, eating a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight.
After all the research data has been compiled they found the key to affordable health care is disease prevention, not treatment!
Imagine that! Chiropractors have been talking and teaching the principles of health for over 100 years. This European study, involving over 23,000 Germans, shows just how fantastic the results of a healthy lifestyle can be. The cumulative effects of just four healthy factors: not smoking, exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight, resulted in:
An average of 36 percent reduced risk of ALL cancers
A 93 percent reduced risk of diabetes
An 81 percent reduced risk of heart disease
These are three of the most common types of chronic diseases, and as
you all know, chronic diseases are very expensive - both for the patient and also for our overburdened healthcare system.
