Over half of Americans regularly take prescription meds - 4 on average. But is this burgeoning dependence on medication doing more harm than good? Americans are swallowing more pills than any other nation in recent history. While some medications are life-saving or improving, a significant portion may be unnecessary and potentially harmful. An estimated 1.3 million people visit emergency rooms annually due to adverse drug reactions, resulting in about 124,000 deaths. Experts argue that the tendency to rely on medications for every ailment is fueled by intense marketing from pharmaceutical companies and a healthcare system that prioritizes quick fixes over comprehensive patient care.

Taking a proactive approach makes a difference! For example, in a recent clinical trial, people with type 2 diabetes followed a lifestyle intervention program that included eating a low-calorie diet and getting regular exercise. At the end of 1 year, study participants lost an average of 26 pounds and about 61% successfully achieved remission of diabetes. Studies show that losing just 10% - 15% of body weight within 2 years of diagnosis is enough to achieve remission. Are you solving problems or just living with them?
