In general human beings are healthier that ever before. We are taller, stronger and have a better diet than in the past. We live longer, too. But that's only one side of the story. Modern life isn't all good for us. In fact some of it can be very unhealthy indeed.

Pollution - Human beings have two environments. One is the outside world and the other is their own bodies. Pollution is bad for both. Acid rain - the hole in the ozone layer - traffic in big cities - chemicals in rivers and seas... they can all make us seriously ill.

Drugs - Many people pollute themselves. Some do it with legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco. Others do it with illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin. Drugs kill thousands every year. But that's not all. They make millions seriously ill.

Disease — Why do we get diseases? Well - there are three main reasons.

Our own bodies develop them... (for example cancer)

We inherit them from our parents and grandparents... (for example, some kinds of heart disease)

……..is one produced artificially. Thus, convulsions may be due to hypoglycemia produced when an emotionally disturbed patient surreptitiously gives himself an injection of insulin.

…….is one arising from the works or actions of a physician or surgeon (as a bad effect of surgery, or skin cancer following therapeutic use of X- ray or an obsession that heart disease is present, as a result of certain misunderstood statements of the physician).
