Holistic Healthcare: What Does it Have in its Fold?

While the resounding claims of the propagators of the Holistic Healthcare drawing listeners around the globe, there is no dearth of doubting Thomases too, who are up with the questions on its efficacy and nature of application. One cannot blame them either, as it is way apart in the nature and application from its established counterpart, i. e. , the allopathic practice. Due to its mixed bag of application and the absence of a concrete definition that could express its central idea, it is still difficult for the uninitiated to comprehend its philosophy.

Hispanics

Hispanics form approximately 13. 8% of the population and are the largest ethnic minority population in the U. S. They are from a wide range of countries Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba and Central and South America. Today it is estimated that one in five Americans is Hispanic. Almost half of the Hispanic population comprises of young people who are less than 25 years of age. There is however a clear difference between the Hispanics and the white population. Hispanics suffer more from chronic health conditions like heart diseases, cancers and diabetes compared to the non-Hispanic whites.
