Your Healthcare and your Health.

We think that our healthcare system and our health should be homogeneous right, well unfortunately it's not, it's more like an oxymoron. The healthcare system is about insurance company profits, premiums, high deductibles, hospital profits, extremely expensive prescription drugs, and in a distant second place it's about your health.

If you question this fact read the article in the NY Times on June 1st, "The $27 Trillion Medical Bill."

In my opinion once you pass 50 years old your health goal should be to focus on prevention and not health insurance. By this I mean eat less and exercise more. Your diet should consist of less animal fats, process foods and more fruits and vegetables. Give yourself time to make the change, remember you've been eating one way most of your life so go easy on yourself as you get into the regime of healthy eating habits.

Then consider exercising, it's as important a goal as you age as is a healthy diet. I don't mean a few times a week, your body needs vigorous movement at least 1 hour every day. That's not hard considering there is 24 hours in each day. It will improve your strength, balance and endurance.

In the healthcare world we live in today you'd better be prepared to put more emphasis on taking care of yourself.  If Jody and I can do it so can you.

Keep it Simple, Consistent and Fun.
