Human Safety Is National Safety!
Is healthcare costs increasing and our nation is getting sicker by the day?
This problem could be solved by creating healthier lives. No one has to die from heart problem unless they have a significant genetic threshold. Let's take diabetes for instance...type 2 diabetes has a root cause in modifiable lifestyle factors. Nutrition, exercise or movement, environmental factors, stress, sleep issues. These factors are extremely controllable, but under guidance of doctors if you realize they are part of the root cause and choose to do something about them. If you are not sure how you came to be where you are, medical systems and experts can always dig in and figure it out for you. Research shows that there is a possibility of increasing the overall health by working with a health coach. Illness does not have to be one's future if wellness track is taken much ahead of time for creating the best of one’s life. A life full of energy, free from pains and aches, a good sleep, out of depression, avoiding weight gain or any other issues one might be experiencing could be avoided by getting proper guidance and expert’s opinion.
This is what we have been achieving by integrating various systems of medicine at WELLBEEING, an integrated health services, Bangalore. Here experts from various field of medicine work cohesively. While modern system or conventional system of doctors focus on diagnose and risk analysis and provide symptomatic relief, our eastern system of doctors (traditional systems like Ayurveda and Naturopathy), focuses with their intervention on addressing the root cause, with a very personalized approach. Functionally working together helps in evaluating their bio parameters, reducing their progression of the disease, gradually bring them to normalcy, while tapering down their dependency on medicine. Integrative medicine approach should help many lifestyle diseases to be handled better both in terms of reducing its symptoms and also addressing the root cause.
While many medical and health technology development could increase the longevity of living, Integrative medicine can add quality of living. One can age gracefully! This approach is the future of medicine, which would influence every doctor to practice his medicine better.
