Live too short, Die too long
A random study of 4,000 men in Petaling Jaya by Datuk Dr. Tan Hui Meng, a professor of Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya revealed that our average lifespan is now 72 years old BUT we spent the last few years battling ill-health. The alarm was the study also showed that 87% of the respondents had one chronic diseases while 67% had two!! What rotten years we have!
Heredity cannot be changed. Environment and health care services are hard to change. However, every individual can modify lifestyle, to attain best health. Adequate nutrition, habitual diet, exercise, and stress determine lifestyle. Every individual therefore has tremendous potential to prevent disease by changing his or her lifestyle. Small, positive changes can help prevent or delay the onset of diseases.
Remember it is always better to prevent than to cure, especially where chronic diseases are concerned.
Your health is in your own hands….
