I am often approached by people with musculoskeletal problems. I frequently notice that most of them want some medication or surgical intervention that will immediately solve their complaints.

Staying healthy for life, preventing diseases. This is such an important goal that younger generations should take up as their banner — learning from their parents' mistakes. If you are Hungarian, you can expect to have at least one chronic disease by the age of 55–60. As a consequence, you will spend the last 20–30 years of your life struggling with illness and suffering from complaints. You will not enjoy your old age while ill.

Both forms are effective, but it is worth knowing their advantages and limitations.
