The Pareto Epidemic…<br />
The Pareto principle (also known as the 80:20 rule) states that roughly<br />
80% of the output comes from 20% of the input. In the past few weeks<br />
we’ve seen something very similar in the surgery.<br />
Following extensive national media coverage regarding Meningitis B, many concerned parents are focussed on getting<br />
their children vaccinated. Meningitis B is thankfully very rare and is statistically unlikely to affect your family, although<br />
vaccination can take much of the credit for that fact. There are however, many ‘everyday’ factors that are much more<br />
likely to impact on our health and the wellbeing of our children, yet we do very little to address their causes.<br />
As one of many doctors who see the damage caused by poor diet, lack of exercise and the occasional accident or<br />
mishap almost every day, I urge you to invest a proportionate amount of your time and energy in your own<br />
wellbeing, and that of your family.<br />
Eat well, cook with fresh ingredients and<br />
avoid convenience foods as much as you can.<br />
Build regular exercise into your family life, walk to school or work, go for<br />
family bike rides at the weekend (wearing a safety helmet of course) and<br />
take the dog to the park more often.<br />
