Health care has been in the headlines for a long time. It is clearly a big concern in our society. What is your own health care reform plan? Are you PLANNING on being healthy?
Sick care
The "healthcare" as referred to in the media, is actually "sick-care." The focus is on illness, symptoms, ailments, disease, injuries, money and control. It is big business. The marketing, lobbying, profit seeking, increasing business of drug companies, insurance companies, and others do not worry about how healthy we are. The “sick care” industry and the related massive industries that link to it thrive as more and more sickness brings them more business.
Confused
I want to point out that a very basic law of personal freedom is being infringed upon as laws and rules regarding "healthcare" confuse the idea of whose responsibility it is to stay healthy. It is a very basic element of freedom and control. The "ownership" of our health nurtures a mentality of value in learning about and actively focusing on keeping healthy.
Health is a choice.
A plan that pays for sickness and disease will not cultivate a mentality of responsibility to make the effort to stay healthy. If it actually costs a lot of money and hurts us to be ill, we are more motivated to make healthy choices. If we have cheap or free "healthcare" then why bother?
Most health problems are optional.
Wherever the health-care debate leads, we each own our health free and clear. There is a small part that we don’t have control over, but the majority of health problems are optional. Most of the pains, ailments and diseases we have are caused slowly over time. It's called DEGENERATIVE DISEASE. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerative_disease
Body tissues, cells, systems deteriorate over time when they don't get what they need.
Health supports freedom.
Think about who in your life will be affected down the road if you continue in your current course of “health care.” Who will be burdened if you need care? What you do for your health now determines the quality of life you have later.
Take some action.
Implement your personal health care reform plan today. What would fit easily into your daily routine to boost your health? Which part of your health needs attention? Water? Veggies? A vacation? How about all of the above? Do you like convenience? Sunrider is light years ahead and unique, my magic shortcut. Check it out, let me know what you think.

Valentines are Healthy
GIVE VALENTINES!! They're good for you.
Our body systems are complex and brilliantly linked together. Often when we think of working on our "health" we think of eating vegetables, exercising, vitamins and washing hands. Being visually oriented, I think people don't often acknowledge the things we can't see with our eyes. Our feelings and emotions are important factors in our health.
Valentines, positive feelings, hugs, forgiveness and other things that feel good are very helpful to our health. Kind and loving words, laughing, singing, dancing, sports and other fun activities stimulate lymphatic function, increase Co2 levels, produce happy endorphins and benefit our body systems in many other intricate and detailed ways to complex to cover in a short article.
Negative feelings like anger, worry, or anxiety clearly affect our body's balance and function. For example, our endocrine system and nervous system coordinate with our circulatory or digestive system to raise blood pressure, cause and upset stomach, headache or other unhealthy symptom.
Well, our brain is part of our body too. We can tell it what to think. If we notice negative thoughts that lead to negative feelings and emotions, we can work on changing them, and searching for and focusing on the positive. The very thought process of consciously disciplining your thoughts increases circulation to your brain and begins the positive domino-effect of good things around your body.
I challenge you to GIVE VALENTINES to yourself and those around you all year by nurturing the habit of positive feelings. It's a skill you can develop. Giving out positive messages compounds the benefit.
Happy, Healthy Valentine's Day!

Healthy New Year!
It's time to take a step in one area of healthy habits you are ready to improve this year. The depth and intensity of your life experience is determined by your level of health. Healthier=happier. So, think about your schedule, plans, desires and decide which area of your health you will work on first.
It could be small,like eat an apple a day. That is actually a good one. Maybe you are ready to shift your schedule to excercise each day. Eat more veggies, eat less sugar, drink more water...there alot of choices.
Small steps make significant progress when you are consistant. I challenge you to choose at least one small habit you want to improve and DO IT!!
