...is worth a pound of cure.
Nowhere is this more true than when it comes to our bodies. Waiting till illness strikes to abruptly change our habits in the hopes that we can cure ourselves, is pure idiocy.
The way to cure illness is to prevent it before it starts. Take care of yourself. Eat healthy. For goodness sake, don't smoke. Many ills could be cured by omitting only this habit. If you smoke, quit. And if you have a respiratory disease and you smoke, now's a good time to quit. It likely won't help a heck of a lot, but just quit anyway.
If you're obese, don't sit on your ass watching TV and eating junk food and clogging your arteries. Doing that takes away your right to complain about obesity related diseases. You caused it, now deal with it.
Yeah, I'm opinionated when it comes to health issues. And yes, I'm an offender just like everyone else.
But seriously people, we wreck our bodies of our own free will and then go crying and wailing to the nearest doctor or hospital. We have free healthcare in this country, paid for with our tax dollars.
Why then, do those who care for their bodies support those who do everything in their power to abuse their bodies? It seems somewhat unbalanced at times, in my opinion.
Those who rely heavily on the tax dollars of others and do nothing to improve their health status despite being educated on how to do so; should we continue to financially support their illness?
