Well-known doctor Alexander Myasnikov spoke about the effect of pills on our health.
According to Qadin.Net, citing publika.az, the doctor noted that excessive drug use is addictive:
"The root of the problem is laziness. Instead of taking care of their health, people turn to pills. We often cover our laziness with medicine. Instead of losing weight and exercising, we take pills. We are not thinking about whether the drugs will help, although they can do more harm, "the expert said in the program.
Myasnikov is convinced that two-thirds of all medications taken by patients are unnecessary and useless. According to him, humanity can survive without hepatoprotectors, immunomodulators, immunostimulants and antiviral drugs.
The expert noted that only those with chronic diseases sometimes take more than a quarter of medications. According to the doctor, these patients can reduce the amount of medication if they start to follow a healthy lifestyle. Weight loss and weight control, physical activity, as well as proper nutrition are the best alternatives to medication
