Okay, sounds good. I believe a longer healthier life must begin by living a healthy lifestyle. It's not likely that most people will get that from a medical doctor. The main job of a medical doctor is to diagnose and treat illness.

How do they treat? Mainly by prescribing medication or recommending a specialist who will perform an operation etc.

Therefore lifestyle is important so you don't get to the point where you need medication or an operation etc. And that's because all medications have side effects and hospital operations are not without risks for complications.
