I'm Back

Sorry I haven't been writing to you all, but my recent hospitalization, once again pointed out to me the fact that Wellness and excess stress are incompatible. Even when some of the stressors are things we enjoy. They inevitably are added to by the difficult stressors in our lives. Suddenely we aren't working on our fittness or using our all important diet supplements (and I don't mean what the government reccomends). That is barely adequate to keep us from getting Scruvey an Rickets (a quote from millionare Robert Allen. Our body need far more than most store bought vitamins can supply. Our guts do not absorb many vitamins and minerals easily. In addition to extra vitamins Wellness require potent fully delivered Antioxidants and flavinoids. I believe you should be checking out some of the health and wellness companies on line. MLM isn't a dirty word. You can be a simple customer and if you have done your homework get the same quality products used by professional athletes. However, you also need to consider your weight and BMI (your metabolic index. Anything over 25 is overweight and over 29 is obese. If you would like me to calculate this for you just send me your height and weight. I can plug it into a formula and viola, but you likely know already whether weightloss is an issue you need to consider. Some people use gyms. I prefer my own at home fitness device. You need to pay attention, because if Obama gets his way you will find that only if you are very poor will you get better health care. The rest of us will get far less. There is only so much to go round and the only difference is how you want to ration it. I am not a socialist and believe that if you are willing to pay for excellent insurance with the doctor's of your choice you should get it. When
Canada socialized it's medical plan, dozens of hospitals closed. I have met more nurses unable to find work in Canada working in the US than you would believe. Many Canadians with money come to the US rather than get on a 6 mos waiting list for a cardiac catheterization, only to wind up on another list for Cardiac surgery. I am a widow now, but my husband was originally from England. His first wife was on a waiting list for Heart valve surgery when she died at 25 yrs of age. So back to the common theme of this blog; Wellness, weightloss and fitness are choices it is up to you to make. They require time effort and yes a little extra money, but do you know what my hospital copay is going to cost? Trust me you would rather not.
