Healthrageous Advocates Six “Pills” for Better Health

Every year in the U.S., more than 4 billion prescriptions are dispensed. Yes, “WE’RE NUMBER ONE!” in the amount spent on pills and medicines in the world. Data reveals that Americans taking prescription medications average four per day. 

Recent research on prescription drug spending places the U.S. first in per capita at $1,229, whereas Canadians only spent $879, and the French $671 (all figured in USD). People 65 and older pay the most for prescription drug expenditures (Health Policy Institute, 2021). Brand-name drugs made up 80% of the money spent on medicine in the U.S. in 2019 (Statista, 2020). Nearly 30% skipped a medication or refill because it was too expensive (SingleCare, 2021).

The irony is the most important pills for improving your health don’t come from an orange bottle. Here are the six most important “pills” that improve your health, treat, and reduce disease and medications:

1. Eating a plant-based diet predominantly of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, with minimal or no highly processed foods and animal products.
2. Being physically active every day, even simple walking suffices. 
3. Recognizing stress and learning how to reduce it with deep breathing, exercise, or mindfulness.
4. Getting 6-8 hours of restful sleep every night.
5. Avoiding excessive alcohol, tobacco, prescription, and recreational drugs.
6. Understanding your purpose, and creating and enjoying positive social relationships.

Healthrageous and your doctor know that these six pills “work” to prevent, treat and even reverse heart disease, diabetes, and many cancers, which all create inflammation throughout our mind and body. 

In fact, over 50 scientists, researchers, and clinicians met to review the evidence that these six “lifestyle” behaviors are the underlying cause of most chronic diseases (and medication use). Their report was recently published in the medical journal Frontiers.

And the “6 Pills” brief summary was viewed worldwide with over 700,000 views. The science couldn’t be more clear: The best “medications” for a longer and healthier life don’t have any side effects or significant costs. With education and commitment, these six “pills” are the most powerful on the market.
