US life expectancy drops

The Ash Center Medical Director Dr. Alyson Pidich on the factors leading to a decline in life expectancy in the U.S.

A lot of people do not have healthcare, so by the time they end in the emergency room, it is already too late. Sad reality

[ellengran]

You have a system that makes money when people are sick. More diseases = more money.
You need to focus more on health = avoid what makes the body stressed : Wrong nutrition, too little
exercise, uncertainty, high debt tec.
Countries with universal healthcare have more focus on health.

[donovan]

Or maybe it has dropped because we eat like shit, don’t go outdoors, and have high stress levels. Treat your body like you care about it, and you’ll live longer....

How about the medical industry focus on prevention. Many diseases can be avoided with proper nutrition and would save so much money!! They love treatments because that's how they make the most money.

Life expectancy = Average income ratio

Stress is the worst thing for your body, and there is plenty of it going around. Ain't nobody trying to releive any of that. When's the last time you got a call from your mortgage company saying " no problem, take your time", or electric provider " this months bill is on us"...it don't happen. The people of this world make it hard on their own people.

She isn't saying anything useful. She's just pushing her business.

why doesnt medicare provide dental care, which is linked to overall health?

[festushaggen]

Stress, anxiety, depression and hopelessness are the major contributors. There’s nothing in our society today that offers relief from those things. Nothing that offers hope. Being told we’re all just cosmic accidents that are lucky to be here for a short time until we die and lose it all only compounds the problem. Where is the hope in that? Trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior and you can know the God of hope. The God who created you and loves you more than you can imagine. You can experience that love and receive His peace. The peace of knowing you were created for a purpose. The peace of knowing you matter and you’re significant. He has a plan for you and it doesn’t end here. But you were created free to choose or reject Him.
Our ways aren’t working. I haven’t seen a more peaceful, kinder, safer, compassionate or hopeful society since man began rejecting God in favor of evolution. Instead, it’s more reports like these of more disease, drug use, addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, suicide, violence, broken families, and a shorter overall life expectancy. We weren’t meant to live this way. Turn back to God and experience life to its fullest. As it was meant to be. The free and simple relationship with your Father through Christ costs you nothing and gains you everything. It’s time to come home.

If you take a look at the historical graph of each US president who served the nation and then compare it with the historical graph of US life expectancy, you will notice that the part where life expectancy dropped between 2015 and 2019 almost matches with the time period of when president D.J. Trump was in office between 2016 and 2020.

No kidding!?? Ya think? Toxins in the food, water.. anything they can think of. Farmers spraying as much as possible. All so unnecessary and ridiculous. Support chemical free food!!

[scampman]

Thats a doc to listen too...whole body beginning with diet. She is right on. Read Lustig and Taubs.

[profoundclarity]

Half the country lives pay to pay ....that's probably quite a bit of reason behind this. I had recent back surgery and still paying on that so even new pains and ailments ...I don't go because I can't afford any more bills....

[octaviawright]

Americans mean (whiteAmericans) Obadiah 1:2 Behold I have made thee small among the nations thou art greatly despised..Excuses Excuses Gods whipping this man off the Earth

[rmyukon]

Is Obama taking credit for this, too?

[jayedwards]

Don't know who this doctor is but she isn't 'polished' enough to be on TV. Heck, she doesn't even sound all that intelligent. This segment was useless.

[歌歌-th]

Everybody get a dose of round up every day 。what are you expect？
