Welcome to FamilyMedicalGuide.org
Here is the bottom line. Health is full of vested interest and information can be easily selected to support a particular view. We need to be questioning of the pronouncements of governments and experts. They do not always know what is best for your health even if they are well meaning. The person primarily responsible for your health is you. You are best placed to make decisions about your health based on your own circumstances. There has been a tendency over the last 30 years to see governments as having the primary responsibility for our health. This is seen in calls for the government to "do something" about problems like obesity and smoking to name but two.

The key to making any changes toward a more healthy lifestyle is to take each of the health tips found on this website and break them down into manageable sizes. Pick one, do it until it becomes a habit, and then pick another. Lists like these are only as useful as the person actually doing what they suggest. But not doing anything at all could lead you to disaster. Take the time to start with one of these health tips today as part of your overall insurance policy against any future damage. You will be glad you did.
