The current top down public health messaging emphasizes the relinquishment of personal agency over one’s health. The public is constantly told to seek medical advice about everything including what to eat, how to and how much to exercise, and basically how to treat every single ailment. People need to be told that their health starts with them and it is imperative that they take control over their own body and mind. Medical professionals are necessary but only as needed. Our people should be prompted and constantly reminded to prioritize eating healthy, exercise, and proper sleep. This would go a long way towards a healthier nation.
