The Rise of Hyperpolypharmacy
The average baby boomer often relies on an alarming number of prescription drugs, with many taking four to five medications daily and about 6.1% on ten or more. This phenomenon, known as hyperpolypharmacy, raises concerns about the quality of life and the effectiveness of relying heavily on pharmaceuticals for health. Instead of continuously pursuing medications, lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and exercise, are emphasized as being more effective and sustainable long-term. The discussion highlights that many health issues can potentially be addressed through lifestyle modifications rather than an increasing number of pills.
