11.01.2022 If they pay more, prescriptions may increase as well. . A recent study showed that gifts to GPs are common and associated with less rational drug prescriptions for patients and more expenses for the National Health Insurance.

Unfortunately we still do not live in a time where healthcare primarily looks after the most vulnerable and instead looks to manipulate the vulnerable for financial gain. . Let’s make sure there are more health professionals around that actually care and went into the healthcare field to help and not to primarily make tons of money. .

08.01.2022 Not really. . Modest weight loss and reduction in some cardiovascular risk factors is possible when following a range of popular diets for six months (compared with usual diet); whether the diets are low fat or low carbohydrate. . A more limited number of studies show that there is little to choose between popular diets after 12 monthsweight loss diminishes, along with the associated cardiovascular benefits.... .
