Something has to be done to prevent disease
Intuitively, all of us know that our lifestyles can cause diseases. Lack of exercise, bad diet, highly stressful environments, smoking etc lead to diseases and reduce our quality of life. Yet, a lot of us do not put in the effort to become healthier and prevent diseases. It is one of the easiest aspects of our lives to delay thinking about. It is easy to think, “I have another 20, 30, 40, 50 years before I fall ill. I don’t need to care about it now.”
In addition, current health care systems are built to treat the acute complications of disease. Healthcare professionals, healthcare institutions, insurance etc are traditionally set up to do this, rather than prevent or reverse it at an earlier stage However waiting to treat disease and its complications at a late stage is very costly, and often the results are unsatisfactory.
It goes without saying that something has to be done. Something has to be done that will bring about the prevention of disease, reduce healthcare costs and improve our lives as we age.
This is our goal at Cardiatrics. We seek to prevent cardiovascular diseases and reduce the burden that it is to society today. It is unfortunately still the number one cause of deaths globally.
This is not a simple endeavor. We have spent the past years and are continuing to put together what is necessary to bring about a viable and successful treatment protocol to prevent cardiovascular disease. We have been looking at the science and practice of preventive cardiology, nutrition, fitness, stress reduction and behavioral change and incorporating this into the Cardiatrics treatment.
We have always believed that doctors are an essential element of disease prevention. Hence, we partner with doctors to provide the Cardiatrics treatment to people who are susceptible to cardiovascular diseases. We are glad that more and more doctors are joining us to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Together with our Cardiatrics doctors and everything that we have put together, we are confident that we can work with you and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
I was once told that optimal health feels great. I never knew what that meant at that time, largely because my lifestyle was never optimal. I now know that while preventing disease is my goal, being in good health greatly increases my quality of life. Make the change now. We are here to help.
