SNBC Health report: a medical professional says that all issues in the body can be traced back to not having a healthy lifestyle.
According to Dr. Casey Means the majority of health issues can be combated by simply eating better. According to Means the medical system is designed to treat illnesses but not to prevent them. The doctor says if patients practice a healthy regimen as a lifestyle most health issues would not exist. Dr. Means says this regimen includes eating well, exercise, and getting plenty of rest. Dr. Means says medical schools in America barely cover nutrition and preventative health, but instead focus on treatment for existing health issues. The doctor advises avoiding processed foods when possible, eating foods that are whole, and fresh and using oils rich in polyphenols such as olive oil, avocado oil and organic coconut oil.
