Went for a routine dentist visit the other day at a new dentist and one of the questions of course that is asked is of course "Are you on any medications?" I said no, and the dental hygenist looked like she was astounded. What gives? I get this all of the time, whenever I have to go for a physical, drug test for a new job, etc. How many people here do not chronically take any medications at all?
I take nothing and I'm 41.
Note that posting in this type of forum might bias your results just like posting in a retirement forum, maternity forum or Justin Beiber fan club forum would have vastly different age groups etc.
Thankfully, I am not and I am in the late 20s. I need more exercise and less junk food however to keep that going. I eat well and exercise, but not as much as I could. It is a blessing to have health, but the older I get the more I am realizing that I can't be lazy with my body.
Despite pressure from doctors... I am not on any meds & have never consistently taken any, besides when I've been sick.
I do & have taken multi-vitamins & exercise daily.
While, I understand meds are sometimes needed, generally, I believe what Hippocrates said, "Natural forces within us are the true healers of dis-ease."
I also concur that genetics play a part in health, yet environmental influences, especially thoughts & related feelings & behavior significantly influence health.

45 and nothing. I had a customer that was 72 and took 15 prescription pills daily and I was horrified! I guess if you will take them, the doctors will prescribe them!

I do not take ANY medications regularly and I try to not take OTC for a neck or headache but maybe once every six weeks to two mos., sort of thing. I try the herbal pillow in the microwave to be heated, first.
I am in my mid-fifties.
