Statistically speaking, you’re far more likely to be some level of sick than you are being healthy. Statistically, Sickness Is More Prevalent Than Wellness This is why most conventional doctors cannot guide you in nutritional healing, and why many are outright suspicious about claims that food can heal.Įxercise is another critical component of health, and studies have shown exercise to be as effective a treatment as many drugs, including antidepressants and medications for prediabetes and heart disease. Unfortunately, most physicians are taught very little about the use of food for healing when they’re in medical school, and many never take the time to learn even the most basic nutritional principles. The simple truth is, most disease is rooted in poor nutrition and lack of physical activity. But to do so you need to provide it with the right lifestyle ingredients it needs to heal and thrive. Contrary to the impression you get when listening to drug advertisements on TV, your body was designed to move toward health, and away from disease. For those of you who missed the book, this article offers some basic guidance from my new NY Times bestseller, Effortless Healing, which provides simple and inexpensive ways to improve your health.
