Prevention

Prevention is better than cure - an old wisdom and scientifically proven.

The most common causes of death in the Western world are cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Cardiovascular Diseases

For cardiovascular diseases, these factors are considered preventive:

• Non-smoking
• Normal weight
• Physical activity (over 30 min/day moderate activity)
• Healthy diet
• Sleep duration (6-8 hrs/day)
• Low alcohol consumption

These factors are in your hands!

Cancer Prevention

Cancer needs approximately 10 years of lead time.

Micronutrient effects are positively proven (= evidence based).

A good immune system is crucial.

Unfortunately, prevention is being pushed back in our culture and today's medicine.

Prevention should be the most important task of a doctor.

Unfortunately, the medical routine under time pressure, economic conditions, and lack of compensation does not provide a framework for this.
