Are you a Smart Patient?

One factor which galvanizes many people to get serious about living healthily is confronting a serious illness, either afflicting them, or a friend or a relative. This realization usually acts like a kick in the pants, and makes them reform quickly! Many patients, after having been through the rigors of a heart attack, for example, are so thankful to be alive that they’re very willing to make serious changes in lifestyle. However, a smart person learns from others, and you don’t have to wait for an agonizing incident to jumpstart a change in your life!

Do we really need a doctor to keep us healthy?

The dismal fact is that most doctors know a lot about treating ailments, but they know precious little about how to remain healthy! (Unfortunately, medical colleges do not teach doctors how to specialize in keeping people healthy!) In fact, since doctors are so used to treating patients who are ill, many of them really wouldn’t be of much use in teaching you how to remain healthy! Fortunately, you do have a remarkable teacher, who can help you to remain healthy — the wisdom of your own body!
