There is a growing and urgent need for medical profession to make it our duty and responsibility to educate people with right information and to make it our business to prevent illness by promoting wellness.
People are misled by misinterpretation of research findings and information overload by other industries such as food, nutrition supplements and personal care industries. People become victims of opportunists who misinterpret information and confuse people for financial gains.
Obesity, hypertension type 2 diabetes, anxiety and depression are costing billions to health care industries. These are the illnesses closely related to our life styles. Many other industries are contributing to our life styles and therefore health and wellness is not confined to health care industry anymore.
Preventative health education has been taken away from hospitals. Primary and secondary care split has made to think that secondary care has nothing to do with prevention. We must create a vehicle for health education and awareness of healthy living in our institutes.
Medical education must include how to maintain optimum mental and physical health. Medical curriculum must include evidence based nutrition, appropriate mental and physical exercise and the mind's influence to health. Medical treatment must include health education to understand not only the causes of dis-ease but also what causes the body to be at ease.
Help us to create an up-to-date and accurate information site and a wellness research center for people to receive evidence based information to maintain mental and physical health.
