Transcript: Prevention is Better than a Cure

Prevention is better than cure. That's an old axiom that's been floating around. I'm sure you've heard it before, but how many of us actually do something about that? 43% of the Australian population believe that preventative actions are going to serve their better health interests, and yet they really are slow to respond on all of the daily decisions they need to make to optimise their health. I often explain to my patients, health is kind of like riding a downward-moving escalator. If you are not making good decisions every day, preventing problems in your health, then you are slowly regressing. You need to be actively making good choices every day and outpace the deterioration your body's naturally gonna have as they age. Prevention is better than cure.
