I appreciate health care that gets to the root cause of our symptoms and promotes wellness, rather than the one-size-fits-all drug-based approach to treating disease. I love maintaining an optimal quality of life – naturally.
We now see numerous examples of brands working together to address issues such as environmental degradations, climate control, pollution, poverty and disease.
A controlled carbohydrate lifestyle really prevents risk factors for heart disease.
Haiti is not an easy place to fight disease, even in the best of times. That was true even before a devastating earthquake ravaged Haiti’s capital and largest city, Port-au-Prince, in 2010.
No one recovers from the disease of being born, a deadly wound if there ever was one.
Preconceived judgments. I think we’re all guilty of it. I judge other people even though I get judged myself. It’s such a disease and gets spread so much through social media.
As we dread any disease that undermines the health of the body, so should we deplore contention, which is a corroding canker of the spirit.
It is often seen that in households where all members are exposed to the same danger, or again in schools or troops where everyone lives the same life, disease does not strike everyone indifferently.
It is difficult to write about any form of mental disease, especially your own, without sounding as if you were examining a bug under glass.
I think science has begun to demonstrate that aging is a disease. If it is, it can be cured.
You fall into my arms. You are the good gift of destruction’s path, When life sickens more than disease. And boldness is the root of beauty. Which draws us together.
I have a blend of klotho gene variants that have been linked with a lower risk for coronary artery disease and stroke and an advantage in longevity.
Physical activity – even if you don’t lose an ounce, you’ll live longer, feel healthier and be less likely to get cancer, heart disease, stroke and arthritis. It’s the closest thing we have to a wonder drug.
There’s no such thing as ageing gracefully. I don’t meet people who want to get Alzheimer’s disease, or who want to get cancer or arthritis or any of the other things that afflict the elderly. Ageing is bad for you, and we better just actually accept that.
A surgeon will cut off a limb in order to protect the body from disease. And a commander-in-chief should pull out of a war that cannot be won in order to protect a nation.
The gene that enables birds to learn songs can become cancer-causing. There is no normal physiological process that can’t be bastardized by the disease.
I’m giving life lessons and tips on how to take care of your emotional heart, because heart disease is the number-one killer in America.
I was 19 when my father died from a heart attack. He was a 55-year-old college professor and had led what was by all appearances a risk-free life. But he was overweight, and heart disease runs in our family.
Human life moves only in one direction – toward disease, damage, and death. The best you can hope for is to remain stagnant or, in certain cases, return to a previous condition when things weren’t as bad as they’ve become for you.
The fact is that ours is the first generation that can look disease and extreme poverty in the eye, look across the ocean to Africa, and say this, and mean it. We do not have to stand for this. A whole continent written off – we do not have to stand for this.
Much as I wish it were not so, we do live in a dangerous world. It has, in fact, always been this way. Our earliest ancestors had to worry about predators, natural disasters, disease, and – unique among our species – attacks by other people.
War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
People’s genes can say a great deal about their health. There are genes that reveal an increased likelihood of getting cancer, heart disease or Alzheimer’s.
As for AIDS, it’s a plague. We are human, we get plagues. They come along every so often, kill off two thirds of the population; in the next generation it’s a quarter; after that it’s a childhood disease.
On January 1, 2006, Medicare will begin to offer a prescription drug benefit, and for the first time, it will place an emphasis on preventive care and early treatment of disease.
The young physician starts life with 20 drugs for each disease, and the old physician ends life with one drug for 20 diseases.
I spent a good deal of time going back over my childhood, my midlife, to try to understand who I was. We’re supposed to be complete and whole, and you can’t be whole if you’re trying to be perfect. Doing a life review helped me get over the disease to please.
Aging is not currently regarded as a disease, but researchers tend increasingly to view it as the common origin of conditions like insulin resistance or cardiovascular disease, whose incidence rises with age. In treating cell aging, we could prevent these diseases.
Heartbreak comes in different sizes, and the departure of an 18-year-old child for a far college has to be treated as a very benign form of the disease.
If you knew you could change your lifestyle and diet and avoid heart disease and other things, you should do it.
Love’s a disease. But curable.
If you have 100 acres worth of food, and you’ve got 500 animals out there, the young ones and the old ones are going to starve to death because they can’t compete. When they starve, they start to eat things they shouldn’t be eating and spread disease not only to them but to us.
This is why Alzheimer’s is such a terrible disease: the body of the person you love is there, but they’ve gone – your husband is gone – and they become your child, and you have to look after them as you would a child.
Without electrons, there is no Google. And without clean electrons, there will be no Google customers, since we’ll all be too busy fleeing from rising seas, droughts, and disease.
More people with HIV/Aids are getting inexpensive anti-retroviral drugs, and their life expectancy has increased, but universal access is still far off, and the disease is still spreading, if more slowly than before.
If we do everything right, the best we can do is live out our potential with as little age-related disease and disability as possible.
Looking at the world from other species’ points of view is a cure for the disease of human self-importance. You suddenly realize that consciousness – which we value and we consider the crowning achievement of nature, human consciousness – is really just another set of tools for getting along in the world.
At the Centers for Disease Control, I rose up fairly quickly into management positions. The first team I led there included many people who had been my supervisors in previous roles or were more senior than I was. So it was kind of a daunting challenge.
Since I was a child, my father was sick. I’ve always known him to be that way. That’s why I’m proud of him – he has a disease he’s obviously struggling with, but he’s not letting it stop him from doing what he wants to do.
You are not just about death and disease.
We and other groups are seeing clear statistical links between telomere shortness and risk for a variety of diseases that are becoming very common, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain cancers.
I confidently affirm that the greater part of those who are supposed to have died of gout, have died of the medicine rather than the disease – a statement in which I am supported by observation.
I will continue to work in Congress to support Lyme disease research and education through funding for the National Institutes of Health and the CDC.
I had to accept that I was an alcoholic, that was the main thing. I think you’ve got to. But I try not say that I’m an alcoholic. I prefer to say that it’s a disease I’ve got.
New, unfamiliar, and mysterious threats to our health are scary. At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – where we identify, on average, one new health threat each year – we work around the clock with an approach that prioritizes finding out what we need to know as fast as we can to protect Americans.
The writings and the recommendations of the earliest medical scientists and the new breed of clinicians between the mid-fifteenth and early seventeenth centuries were based on the supposition that sufficient study and experimentation would elucidate not only the origins of disease, but its treatment as well.
Although there have been warnings that it was coming for years, the Alzheimer’s epidemic is here now and millions more families will be touched by this progressive – and ultimately fatal – disease unless its course can be altered.
The pandemic of AIDS is a gender-based disease.
You don’t forget you have Parkinson’s disease, believe me, especially in the shower. If you are not paying attention, you fall down.
Disease is the tax which the soul pays for the body, as the tenant pays house-rent for the use of the house.
All interest in disease and death is only another expression of interest in life.
The belief is growing on me that the disease is communicated by the bite of the mosquito… She always injects a small quantity of fluid with her bite – what if the parasites get into the system in this manner.
Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error of judgment.
