5 Prescriptions For Optimal Health (Plus A Bonus Tip)

Tuesday, December 31, 2013 11:37

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

We’ve become dependent on prescription medications in the U.S. This is a fact. A Mayo Clinic report published in July of 2013 says so. Over a 12-month period, 68.1% of all Americans received a prescription from at least 1 drug group, 51.6% received prescriptions from 2 or more drug groups, and 21.2% received prescriptions from five or more drug groups [1]. To say it another way, we’ve become a nation of pill poppers desperate for answers to our most pressing health concerns.

Now turn back the clock a bit as I enlighten you with a glimpse into my personal background. At the turn of the 21st century, I found myself sitting in a university classroom trying with all my might not to nod off, as I gazed half asleep at my college professor lecturing intensely in the front of the room. He was describing in great detail how zero- and first-order kinetics of various types of drugs required separate algorithms to calculate their final half-lives and serum concentrations. (Now you understand why I was trying not to nod off!) Had I known back then that my professor’s valiant teaching efforts—well-intentioned as they may be—would largely prove inadequate in my efforts to bring health to others as a pharmacist, I would’ve undoubtedly found a different classroom to sit in. I was, however, naive to the point of understanding the actual shortcomings of the pharmaceutical world as they existed. And so I carried on.

It wasn’t until the age of 30 (8 years into my career) that I would learn the truth of how real health could be achieved. Drugs, for the most part, were certainly not the answer. Instead, a glance into the world of plant-based nutrition was all that I needed in my endeavors to rid the world of chronic disease. And so, with that being said, I present to you my five prescriptions for optimal health.

5 PRESCRIPTIONS FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH

1) Overdose on Nature’s Skittles – Fruits and Vegetables

Eat as many fruits and vegetables as you can each day. There’s no overdoing it with this group.
Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption by just one serving a day has the potential to prevent a total of 20,000 cancer cases each year in the United States [2].
For each 1-serving per day increase in fruits and vegetables there is a 4% reduction in coronary heart disease (CHD). Make this serving a member of the green leafy vegetable family and the reduction in CHD goes up to a whopping 23% [3].
One serving size for most fruits and vegetables is 1/2 cup. For dark leafy greens a serving size is equal to 1 full cup. You can see how easy it is to get several servings of fruits and vegetables each day into your diet.
