Shifting the Focus from Sickness to Health DVD

Workout Videos Presents: Shifting the Focus from Sickness to Health Workout DVD - Annually, the medical-industrial complex spends 95% of our nation’s $1.7 trillion dollars health-care bill on disease ($4 billion dollars daily). The current emphasis is completely dedicated to “curing” people; it should be focused on “functional” health. Shifting the Focus from Sickness to Health details why and how the health-care focus should be on preventing health problems. Prevention is where true economic savings will occur. Among the topics covered: Americans seek health salvation in a pill bottle, personal responsibility for health is often lacking, ignorance and lack of opportunity hinder progress, and a new accounting of the costs of inactivity is paramount.
