More deaths are caused by overdose, over reliance, and advance reaction to the medicines, thereby calling for the need to seek better solutions for treatment.

The healthy lifestyle targets to prevent and manage lifestyle diseases by focusing on diet, exercises, and general well being of the body without necessarily introducing chemicals that are not natural to the body system.
