Saving & Investing in Health

Posted in: Lifestyle Medicine

In the realms of political economy and personal finance, we all know the difference between "Borrowing and Spending" vs. "Saving and Investing." The former provides some short-term relief, but tends to impoverish us over the long term, while the latter tends to empower us, both today and tomorrow! The same principle applies to nutritional health and lifestyle medicine.  We can save and invest in health by acting today in a way that both enhances our current sense of well-being and optimizes our future prospects for good health and longevity, or we can mortgage our future health for the sake of present indulgences and then look to modern medicine to bail us out in the end--with pills and procedures, health screening(s) and surgeries, etc.

millions of dollars spent on advertising by the dairy industry, has left most of us with an impression of dairy products as wholesome, natural foods.  And it is understandable that we might be reluctant to question this long-held impression.  Nevertheless, while cow's milk is certainly wholesome and natural for calves, many questions have been raised over the years as to whether or not it is really good for human beings.

What Is Lifestyle Medicine?

"You and your loved ones need to know that your health is largely in your own hands, and no one else's.  What needs to be understood is that health is the natural, spontaneous consequence of healthful living.  It is rarely the consequence of expensive or complicated medical care." ~ The Pleasure Trap

Since our stated aim is that of Promoting Nutritional Health & Lifestyle Medicine, it's important that we explain what Lifestyle Medicine is, exactly, and why it is worth promoting.
