Healthy Diet Change |
In fact, researchers believe that 80% of deaths
in mid-adulthood are related to the relatively small number of lifestyle
habits, especially your diet and healthy eating
Heart disease, including heart attacks and strokes – which together are the leading cause of death and disability for men 40 to 45 – can largely be prevented by dealing with stress, changing your diet and eating for good health, stopping smoking, getting reasonable exercise, and treating hypertension.
Cancer, the second leading cause of death, can
be prevented in the long run by stopping smoking, making diet and health
changes, and avoiding exposure to occupational or environmental chemicals.
Finally, cirrhosis, alcoholism and a majority of accidents can be avoided by controlling the use of alcohol.

From the standpoint of both individual health
and national health, it is amazing to consider that in perhaps three
out of four cases, death and disability in middle age can be avoided
through limited number of behavioral changes that
admittedly take effort and willpower, but are not impossible to achieve.
None of these changes is dependent on new
advances in medical technology, development of new drugs, surgical techniques,
or the building of expensive medical facilities.
Improvement is basically a matter of lifestyle changes and/or environmental changes. To make the changes we have to change our attitude and the way we look at the world.
Belief in our power to change is essential. We, not doctors, are largely responsible for creating our own state of health and well-being.
