When you look at the world around you, it seems there is no escaping from medicines. At some point in your life it seems that you will be taking a lot of medicines. The news about conditions like diabetes, cancer, arthritis, etc. is everywhere. However, you can definitely stay away from the hospital and keep yourself from taking medicines if you do a few things right. Let’s take a look at some ways you can avoid medicines in your life.
How to Avoid Medicines
Eat Healthy
“Eat healthy” has become quite a clichéd term in the recent decades. However, people still do not understand the basics of healthy eating. Healthy eating should never focus on what not to eat. Instead, it should focus on what you should eat and how. So, if you don’t have any chronic conditions yet, you should not be avoiding anything in your diet. Eat sour, salty, sweet, bitter, and whatever you like. The only thing you have to focus on is moderation. Eat moderately and you will be just fine. Secondly, do not run away from vegetables and legumes. The vegetables that people hate the most happen to be the healthiest ones.
Exercise Regularly
Once again, there is a lot of misconception about exercising regularly in the minds of the people. The main idea is to keep your body moving because that’s what it is designed for. Secondly, you are not supposed to exercise for hours every day. The amount of exercise you do depends on the type of exercise, its rigorousness, your age, and your health. When you exercise moderately e.g. brisk walking, you can spend an hour doing that. However, if you are doing some extreme exercise e.g. sprinting, only 15 minutes to half an hour of exercise will be enough. If you are a heart patient, make sure you ask your doctor which exercises you can do.
Try Integrative Physical Medicine
Just because you are ill or have a chronic pain in your back does not mean you have to start taking lots of medicines every day. There are many different ways to treat your health issues and some of them require no big tablets to be taken. For example, if you think your back has been hurting badly lately, you might want to seek chiropractic care. When people concede injuries as a result of car accidents, the first thing they do is go for conventional medicine. However, all they need is some chiropractic adjustment to get rid of the pains in their back and other parts of the body.
Bottom Line
The only way to stay away from medicines is to adopt a healthy lifestyle. It is easy to say that you should adopt a healthy lifestyle but doing so is not that easy. You have to have some strong motivation and will in you to convince yourself to quit the many things you have been doing and eating for years. However, a truly healthy lifestyle does not deprive you of anything. It demands that you eat everything, but in moderation. If you can be moderate with your eating habits, you can avoid medicines in your life.
