Health, it's the most precious thing we have. If we can achieve true happiness and self-actualize as a society and as individuals, it is in no small part thanks to health.
Nevertheless, is it not true that we often take health for granted? Is it not true that when we have our health, we tend to talk about other things? We are concerned about our bills, our jobs and our objects. Yet, all of it suddenly ends when we get sick.
Is it not also true that, sometimes by choice, sometimes not, we mishandle our health? Often times, by our reckless behaviours, our poor food choices, our lack of physical activity and our fast paced lifestyles, we neglect our health and it is not given the importance it deserves.
Simple realization, don't you think? But at what price are we digging ourselves into these evidences?
In New Brunswick, citizens' health statistics reveal a troubling situation.
From adolescent obesity to smoking and physical inactivity, our province ranks among the worst rates on a nation-wide scale. That it be the increasing number of children under the age of five who are dealing with type 2 diabetes, or even the impending arrival of baby boomers in hospitals and medical clinics that are already overflowing, the shirking of responsibilities by citizens who are faced with the health issue indicates that the matter is far more disconcerting than we can even imagine!
As New Brunswickers, we have learned over the years to rely on a health care system when we get sick. Should our health fail, the State takes ownership of the problem, so to speak. However, this health care system is now stretched thin. It too is sick and it takes up an always increasing portion of our shared financial resources.
In two words, these statistics illustrate that costs associated with our health care system are greater than our capacity - and possibly our volition - to pay. Clearly, this situation cannot last.
This situation is no longer viable; in fact, it has never been the case. We believe that a true debate on civic accountability must be initiated in order to modify our behaviours and attitudes in front of this dismal legacy that we are leaving for the next generations.
While recognizing that a series of factors impact one's health, we must also admit that most of us, as citizens, can do a lot to improve our chances for longer healthier lives and for leaving future generations a better legacy.
Instead of fighting, too often and unsuccessfully, against an established cancer, research now reveals, and has for years, that we can prevent this disease. We estimate that 75% of cancers are preventable by altering our lifestyle. (Source: Dr. Béliveau, Les aliments contre le cancer and the World Cancer Research Fund).
Incidentally, according to the World Cancer Research Fund's latest observations published in 2007, approximately 30% of all cancers are directly related to the diet nature of individuals. This number could even reach 70% in gastrointestinal system cancer cases, such as esophagus, stomach and colon.
Although these statistics are associated to our cause, which is cancer, we could have packed this document full of distressing statistics regarding heart disease, obesity, diabetes, smoking, cholesterol, etc.
In this context we, signatories to this manifest, believe the time has come to open a substantive debate about health. The time has come to uncover the illusion of a constant growing health system. The time has come to stop believing that building bigger hospitals and purchasing more equipment alone are long term solutions.
The time has come to go to the source of the problem, look at ourselves and ask: considering my circumstances, am I doing all in my power to lead a long healthy life?
As signatories, we recognize that we can do more. We recognize that we can take action to prevent the disease.
We are therefore committed to permanently changing at least one of our habits in order to increase our chances to lead long healthy lives and, ultimately, leave a better legacy for future generations.
To do this, we pledge to take up the "Step by Step Towards Our Legacy" challenge issued by the Tree of Hope - www.treeofhope.ca.
