LOOKING AFTER YOUR HEALTH – THE BEST PREVENTION AGAINST RESPIRATORY DISEASES – VARIOUS CAUSES
To my astonishment, when travelling abroad, I have encountered a great deal of tuberculosis even in lands which have the best climatic conditions for good health. I was amazed that even Greece, a country with an abundance of sunshine, has had to fight this disease. In Holland too, particularly in the small offshore islands, many people are affected. Doctors are probably right in blaming the damp climate of the low-lying countries, although living in such a climate does not necessarily mean that weak lungs cannot be avoided. Other factors must share the blame for such disorders, for instance a one-sided diet, especially one consisting almost exclusively of fish. Anyone who is sufficiently informed about the cause of a disease can take care to prevent it and this is clearly a wiser course to take than waiting for a disease to strike and then trying to cure it. The following observations and hints are therefore primarily intended for those who are healthy, but they will also benefit the less fortunate to improve and possibly cure their condition.
