The question of Vytorin’s effectiveness underscores the need for preventive health activities

January 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Many facing cholesterol challenges are distraught at the latest news questioning the effectiveness of Vytorin against cholesterol. The issue surrounding the effectiveness of Vytorin underscores the need for preventive health activities. While it it beneficial to have drugs that help to lower cholesterol one must question the indisputable effectiveness that healthy lifestyles can have on ones cardio-vascular system. While many do owe their high cholesterol levels to non-dietary factors such as heredity, there is no doubt that exercise and dietary discipline can make a significant impact.

Dwight Eisenhower is quoted as saying: “Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.”

Nothing better describes the role of diet and exercise on our future health and welfare. How we feel today is based upon past, but how we feel tomorrow is entirely in our hands.

We cannot pin our hopes on the effectiveness of pharmaceutical research, as it is not within our sphere of control. What is under our control is our daily actions and dietary choices.
