How to Break the Cycle of Chronic Diseases?

How Technology is Making a Difference

Doctors are facing increasing work pressures. Patients are finding access to help more difficult. 

How to Maximize Healthcare Efficiency through the Power of Technology

We’re not talking AI replacing professionals, but instead augmenting the work they do and bringing about revolutionary changes to healthcare services that maximize the use of existing resources, while creating novel solutions to old problems.

Reversing Chronic Diseases: Why a Holistic Approach is More Effective than Prescriptions

Don’t wait till it breaks! Traditional healthcare relies on healthcare fixing what is already broken. But things break slowly and evidence suggests many health issues can be mitigated by changes in lifestyle. Type 2 diabetes can be reversed by an 8-week, 800 calorie per day diet and mild exercise. But most prefer a pill to the effort that involves. 

The result is the food industry continue to make people ill, so the pharma industry can save them.

The Dangers of Chronic Diseases and the Importance of Lifestyle Habits

Like diabetes, some forms of hypertension will respond to weight loss and exercise. High blood pressure damages your main organs, including the brain. It is often dubbed the silent killer, because it has no symptoms most of the time. Good lifestyle habits can keep your blood pressure at a healthy level and reduce the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke.

Taking Charge of Your Health: The Future of Preventative Healthcare

Self awareness is the future! What if we taught how to eat properly in schools and aimed to have healthier young adults. What if GPs offered lifestyle interventions before prescribing drugs. Could we teach people how to look after their health in order to prevent disease and detect problems earlier. Perhaps individuals need to be convinced to accept more responsibility for their own health. No one wants to be ill, but many have lifestyles that guarantee they will be.

How does lifestyle modification work?

The Science Behind How Lifestyle Modification Affects Our Genes The idea that how we live can affect the way our genes express themselves is a hot topic in science. The term “lifestyle modification” refers to any changes we make to our lifestyle that may change the way our genes function. Lifestyle modifications can change the way our genes work by adjusting external factors such as our diet, exercise routine, and stress levels. This happens through a process called epigenetics, which can modify gene expression without changing the underlying genetic code. And while some people are skeptical about whether or not these changes actually work, there’s actually a lot of evidence that they do. In this article, we’ll take a look at how lifestyle modification works and why it’s so important for your overall well-being. Scientists have discovered that certain lifestyle choices can change the way DNA functions inside cells. One study found that individuals who consistently ate fruits and vegeta...
