I think it goes 2 way...
1) staying healthy and engaging in active lifestyle with
work/life balance to fight diaseases associated with obseity based,
diet based and lifestyle based illness.
2) staying healthy and engaging in active lifestyle with
work/life balance but end up getting cancer and blah blah
blah.....
I support the 1st clause like you, but I am not so sure about
the health care when cancer is involved. Just gives me the feeling
that the gov is NOT going to help even if you tio cancer!
Still, I am hoping for a legistation for a general insurance for
the top 40 killers, but without the need to raise taxes.
Yeah right... I must be dreaming....
I was referring to totally preventable diseases and health
ailments. It is true that you can eat right and exercise right and
still get health problems. All I'm saying is that if you eat right
and exercise right, you can reduce the chances of getting those
health problems.
As av pointed out, even Lance Armstrong, with all his prowess in
cycling and marathon running, couldn't escape cancer. But what is
also undeniable is that he also almost certainly escaped many other
medical problems that he could have gotten had he been a lazy fat
slob.
It's just like how some people can get lung cancer even though
they don't smoke. However, if everyone were to just quit smoking,
only those who are fated to get it will get lung cancer. All those
who would have gotten cancer had they smoked would escape getting
it.
That last example is especially striking for me. After all, my
uncle died of lung cancer at the age of 57, and it has not escaped
me that he had been a heavy smoker for as long as I can
remember.
My aunt (his wife), my parents, and my grandmother, all of whom
do not smoke, outlived him in spite of being older than him.
