What's Normal?

I find that there is a stark contrast between those who are health-conscious versus those who aren't.  For example, somone was telling me the other day about a guy who just had a quadruple-bypass.  This guy had surgery and now he just got diagnosed with some other health problem.  The story was told to me as how this person "can't catch a break".

Let's see, a person is in bad enough condition that they need a quadruple bypass, and now it's a surprise that they have other health problems?  A lot of people seem to think it's normal to eat a poor diet, not exercise, and then roll the dice with surgery and drugs when things get bad as they age.  To me, this just seems strange.

I don't take any medications and nor do I plan on ever doing so.  I would only undergo surgery if my life depended on it, and I had exhausted all natural options.  In general, I have faith that if I live in accordance with nature to the best of my ability, that my body should continue to function well for a long time.

To me, this seems normal.  Maybe I am on the far end of the health-conscious spectrum, I don't know.  But I'd rather live correctly and maintain my health instead of turning it over to doctors and drugs.
