> ...A lifetime of eating a nutritious diet, don't eat lots of carbs, eat absolutely no refined carbs, eat enough meat, avoid almost anything that's pre-made or shelf stable, don't smoke, don't drink. Do research into anti-inflammation lifestyles. Exercise for the point of reducing those markers, eating for the point of reducing those markers, getting enough sunlight because Vitamin D is necessary for these things...
Most of this is very conventional and popular advice, isn't it?
I can see your frustration at the fact that people don't follow it very well, but I don't see "Big Pharma" as a big issue here. People smoke because of marketing, addiction, and culture. People drink because it feels good, marketing, addiction, and culture. People eat crap because it tastes good, it's cheap and highly available (you have to eat), marketing, and culture. People don't exercise because it takes time and, for many, is painful.
I think we could do with much stronger regulations limiting unhealthful products, though in my country (US) there is a significant number of people who disagree strongly, so I don't see it happening.
