The current paradigm of health industry is sickness. The business of sickness is what hospitals, medical equipment makers, pharmaceutical companies, physicians and surgeons live on. However, focusing on sickness will never make for healthy citizens, businesses, communities or nations. We must create a new paradigm of disease prevention: diet and lifestyle changes that prevent illness before it starts and even reverse existing conditions.
Numerous studies and research have shown how lifestyle changes, including exercise, stress management, restful sleep, meditation, healthy diet, emotional and social wellbeing, can prevent almost ninety percent (90%) of chronic illnesses in our society. We now know that Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular illness in general, and many types of cancers are preventable. In addition, almost every chronic disease is related to inflammation in the body and can be improved through nutrition, life style change and psycho-spiritual modifications.
