Medication OR Lifestyle Changes - What's Better?

 



Medication OR Lifestyle Changes - What's Better?

If you too happen to wonder about that question then read this article to find out what's exactly the right choice!

Illnesses, sicknesses, diseases… Everyone hates them outright, right?

But, sadly, it seems like the hate is not reciprocated from the other side exactly… Because no matter how hard you hate diseases you'll still catch one at some point in life.

Sometimes temporarily, sometimes intermittently or sometimes chronically, diseases are part of life.

A shocking recent study showed that about 133 million Americans suffer from chronic health conditions - that's literally HALF of the country's population.

And, not only that, nearly 1 in 5 adults in the US suffer from some kind of mental illness…

With all those alarming facts and stats twisting in the wind there's always a debate ongoing over what's the right choice between medicines and lifestyles changes?

 We're going to figure that out below. So read on…   

Medication Is Important but…

Believe it or not, the truth is that about 1.27 trillion dollars were spent on prescription drugs worldwide in 2020.

So, are we just getting too hypochondriac? Or medications are actually necessary?

Well, doctors have got varied opinions on the importance of medicines but the majority of them agree that medications are necessary for people with 'serious' illnesses.

People with chronic illnesses like heart patients, diabetics, liver patients or people with cancer will all usually be taking some kind of drugs.

It's healthy for them - and, frankly, they have no choice.

But there's a downside of taking medications…

A recent study showed that people with high blood pressure or cholesterol ease up on their healthy dietary habits and exercise routine once they are on medication.

And, that's where they get the idea of medication all wrong.

Medication will do its part - create resistance to the illness, boost immunity, get the body rid of toxic elements - but it's NOT a substitute to a healthy and active lifestyle.

 


Lifestyles Changes: a Healthier Choice?

Medication is all-important in times of urgency and no one can argue against that…

But today many doctors believe that lifestyle changes can yield far better results compared to medicines in the long term.

First of all, making lifestyle changes like a better diet and more active routine makes a person independent and strong mentally - while medications create a lifelong dependency. 

Although, prescription drugs can manage certain health conditions BUT they've got their side effects too.

Like, you may get shivers from a certain medicine, or your body might react negatively to some prescribed drug. You never know…

On the flip side, lifestyle change has got no side effects that one can think of.

That's a win-win for anybody!

Like, no extra costs, no chemical reactions, no high/low dose, no dependency and the very process itself is all so natural too.

Plus, doctors say that lifestyle intervention can not only control chronic illnesses like diabetes, depression, and hypertension but also reduce your mortality.

Hold on!

There's an even better choice…

 

A Combination of Both!

Well, the isolated choice of lifestyle change vs. medication is always there but it's NOT necessary to choose one and leave the other.

You can pick a combo of both!

See, your health is what matters the most, right?

So, you can't go about making random choices.

The thing is: medicine and lifestyle change complement each other, they work together pretty well…

And, considering both lifestyle improvement and medicine have got their valid claims on boosting health, the middle path seems the right choice.

BUT, don't be your own doctor!

Consulting a health expert is absolutely important before you choose to take any path at all.

You got it? Right?

Cracker Confusion

  Cracker Confusion In your SHAPE Program Guidebook, we list a few brands of crackers that you can include in Phases I and II of the SHAPE Program. Because product availability varies from region to region and brands can change their ingredients list at any time, we will update this article accordingly to help you choose the best approved crackers. You can learn more about how to read labels  here , but we realize there can be confusion regarding crackers since they technically contain non-approved ingredients like rice flour and vegetable oil. So, why do we approve the use of crackers in Phase I? Because when the variables of the SHAPE Program were initially tested, there tended to be greater success when some moderate carbohydrate and small amounts of fat were included. The crackers are optional, and some find they do better without them, but for many, metabolic balance is achieved and maintained by following this protocol. With regards to crackers, here are some things to l...
