We have to admit that we have been very lax in posting to this blog. Strange how you just procrastinate sometimes with things you want to do. We digress so back to business.
In the days and weeks ahead, we have decided to get off our duffs and post an article or two each week on the following subjects:
1. Thoughts on New Year's resolutions
2. Healthy eating, diets, or whatever, relating to the Holidays and beyond
3. Stress and relaxation especially during the holidays.
OK, that's what you can expect. We can't say we'll do it each day but we will have at least 3 posts up each week. Come along for the experience.
As the Holidays approach, remember: LIVE WELL, LOVE MUCH, LAUGH OFTEN

DID YOU SEE OPRAH'S SHOW ON ACCUPUNCTURE?
What a show!
Oprah's showDec. 3rd was about accupuncture but that was just the begining. As the show went on, the guest doctor started to talk about sharing worldwide knowledge on medicine as used in other countries. He also taked about understanding the energy of the body since we are all made up of energy. Wow, that's controversal.
Having travelled worldwide and also having lived in other countries, this is very exciting to us since we have seen how medicine is practiced in other countries. We know, first hand, how much the USA could benefit from this. You would be surprised how much better medicine is in Europe and those other countries that have been influenced by Europe.
Since American medicine is influenced vastly by the almighty buck, what would happen if care for the people was first and foremost instead of profit? We are sure that many changes beneficial to the population would come about.
For example, instead of the many publicised stop smoking products seen on TV (which usually don't work), perhaps a real, quality product would be developed. Of course, this might lead to many quality products instead of the crap we are beseiged with every day in the media.
Well, don't hold your breath on this. Dollars rule in the USA. If we did change, where would the dollars come from to pay for the sports stars? And how could we keep the bloated, inefficient FDA buracracy? But, stay tuned. IT JUST COULD HAPPEN!

Hello World
After being on the web for awhile, we finally started this blog. While wanting to do this, we have had other interests that have taken up much of our time. Well, here we are.
You can expect, from us, honest comments not influenced by the over hyped media, or the politically correct crowd. We do the research and you reap the benefits.
Health, yours and ours, is of utmost importance and we will provide as much information as we can as quickly as possible. Stay tuned - you will appreciate it.

Health, yours and ours, is of utmost importance and we will provide as much information as we can as quickly as possible. Stay tuned - you will appreciate it.
Good Health Is More Than Physical
Ask most people what good health is, and their comments will probably be "free of disease", "lower cholesteral", "weight control", etc. That's the norm, but good health is more that just the physical aspects. Let's look at other considerations.
Mental Health
You or someone you know could be suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, shyness, or something more drastic. Each of these can be controlled if you know what is happening and seek out qualified help. Sometimes something as simple as good information can "start the ball rolling" in helping yourself or others. But nothing replaces professional help.
Lifestyle
What's your life like? Do you sit in traffic for hours each day building your frustration and stress? Do you need to keep a calender for your and/or your family's activities and events? Do you need to check your business events before you can schedule personal activities? Have you had a vacation lately?
A hectic life can be very detrimental in maintaining your health. Being organized is a begining to maintaining health. Time management is also very important since lack of time increases stress, anger, and weight because it's quick to substitute fast food for a proper, well balanced meal. Again, good information starts to improve your lifestyle.
Environment
How's the air quality where you live? Do you live near a busy freeway with high noise and bad gas fumes? Do you live near a factory, a utility producer, or a refinery which really messes up the air quality?
How about your home? Is it free from pollutents? Do you use environmentally friendly cleaners? Are you conserving on energy? Do you use "farm fresh" or organic foods? Do you recycle?
How about your car? Is your muffler OK? Are the tires at proper pressure and not worn? Have you had an oil change lately? Had an engine tune up?
Lots of questions, but the answers are vital. Your health and your budget are inner twined. By doing your part in going green, you will take steps toward improving your health and your budget.
What we are saying is that everything about you, your life, your family, your "world", affects your health. Health is totally encompassing. Once you start to view every aspect of yourself and what is "around", you will have a better understanding of those actions necessary to improve and/or maintain good health.
Your health is your best investment!
