The Importance of Prevention

The speaker emphasizes the importance of shifting towards a preventive healthcare model. He explains that the current medical system is broken and unsustainable, and unless changes are made, healthcare will be rationed or become even worse. The new paradigm focuses on preventing health problems rather than treating them, as intervention is costly while prevention is relatively inexpensive. By implementing lifestyle changes such as nutrition consultation, dietary changes, exercise, weight management, and avoiding smoking and excessive drinking, there can be an 80% reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer.
