[Vision2020] [Spam 7.31] Health: Persoanl Responsibility Factors

[Robert Dickow]

I’m not surprised. Anyway, with this knowledge and modern advances in medicine I have gotten my lipids into normal range, blood sugar is good, and blood pressure is good, and no known problems. 

 

The trouble is, all this good health has simply increased the odds that I’ll die from something else.

Part of the the costs of health care appear to be weight related.  In my opinion not enough attention/insistence on personal responsibility has enetered the debate.  The article below contains findings that show the importance of taking responsibility for part of one's overall health.  There are many other findings relating diet and exercise to overall health and consequently to the cost to all of us for health care.
