Grace good post I agree. Exercise good food and vitamins can do wonders. Also nothing wrong with drinking water.

Good point about the obese and indolent American way of life obfuscating health system performance in the US. However, that alone does not mean apparent poor performance of the US system is caused by the patients rather than the health care system. There are 120,000 accidental deaths and 1 million injuries in hospitals ever year in the US, according to Harvard University's Lucian Leape. Those people actually died because of our health care system, not from their own lethargy. I agree that there is too much reliance on the system, or as I think of it, a blanket denial of consequences of one's own choices in which the health care system becomes the bail-out mechanism of last resort. Not everybody of course, but I believe a higher percentage that most developed nations.
