For the Health of It: Is an ounce of prevention really better?

Tyler Ryan and Hima Dalal discuss by prevention is the key to long lived health

COLUMBIA SC (WOLO)  – Prevention is Better Than Cure: Celebrating Wellness, Integrative Health, and Community
Awareness in South Carolina
I am deeply honored as Senator Tameika Devine proclaimed a Wellness, Peace, and
Integrative Therapy Day, along with Individual Occupational Therapy Day in the state of
South Carolina April15th2025— recognizing seven years of advocacy dedicated to increasing
awareness of prevention and holistic wellness in our community.
Over the past eight years on ABC Good Morning Columbia with Tyler Ryan, we’ve
consistently shared health segment tips on prevention and integrative health, reminding our
viewers that true healing begins with prevention and mindful living.
As healthcare costs continue to rise each year, 4.9 trillion $ in2924 and out-of-pocket
expenses for complementary therapies increased to 30 percent , it’s encouraging to see
growing awareness of the benefits of prevention, integrative therapy, and wellness
practices. People are recognizing that investing in their well-being today helps prevent costly
and chronic health challenges tomorrow.
While some preventive measures might have initial costs, the long-term
benefits of preventing or managing health problems can significantly reduce
overall healthcare expenses.
I’ve been blessed to collaborate with global health leaders for increasing awareness &
power of mindfulness meditation for transforming life like:
● Dr. Avdhoot Shivananji from Shivyog
● Dr. Ishan Shivanand, founder of Yoga of Immortals
● Dr. Bindukumar Kansupada, my brother ,an esteemed cardiologist and Health
Council Member for Wheels Global Foundation
For the past 25 years, it’s been my privilege to offer community meditation, energy wellness
programs, and integrative care to the wonderful people of Columbia, South Carolina,
bringing them together in the spirit of peace, health, and resilience.
This journey continues to affirm a timeless truth:
Prevention is better than cure — for our health, our families, and our communities.
