When we age, we need more medications! 

  

Do you believe the above statement? Why do I say that? Well, when we age, we normally have more diseases, especially when we didn't take care of ourselves in our young age and abuse our bodies. SO it is only natural that we need more medications to treat them.

I do and believe that as we age we will need to take medications and/or supplements for various reasons, but I don't agree entirely that it is due to the poor way we treat our bodies while we are young. A lot of conditions come with aging no matter how well you care for yourself while you are young.

Yes I think as we age we need more medications than ever before. Sometimes I wish it was not that way, but it is.

We might need to take more medication but that is because of how much longer people are living. It doesn't have much to do with how you treated your body when you were young.

As we age the body breaks down and we need the help of medicines to heal. There's nothing wrong with it though. It's these medicines that are helping us live longer. Be happy that we have them around.

True... But it's basically having to want to live with the disease even longer and it's not like there's anything better to do once we get REALLY old. Taking medications would be more like killing yourself slowly..
But I bet that when I get to that phase, I would probably want to take as much medications to live, too. LOL
