and accounts for eight of the nine leading categories of death (ref).

as cardiovascular disease and cancer? What are governments doing
wrong? Why is modern medicine continuously failing us? What can
we do to positively impact our future health and make things right? |

Exercise
& Preventing Disease
It
wasn't too long ago that people with conditions such as high blood
pressure, high blood sugar, arthritis, asthma and heart disease,
were told by Physicians to "take it easy","stay in
bed" or ingest several medications in order to stabilize these
conditions. Today, there is little doubt how the impact of lifestyle
changes, including exercise, can dramatically prevent, treat and
even cure many of these ailments.
