America has a weight problem.....I should actually rephrase that and so should the media.....America has a health problem. This society does not eat properly nor does it get enough exercise and rest, I might add. Health care cost are rising, not only for the work force but retirees as well and many aren't preparing for this. So think for a minute, how much medication are you on. If you are healthy probably none to 1, if not probably 4-6 if not more, and that is quite sad in my opinion. There is really no comparison, it simply costs less to be healthy. Less medication, less doctors visits, less illness in general....it just cost LESS! So why not start now being more healthy and spending less money in the process. There are SO many ways to start.....eat better, be more active, drink more water, try to sleep 6-8 hours a night, turn off the tv and play! NOW is the time to start, its not always easy to stick to a healthier lifestyle and if it was then everyone wouldn't be unhealthy. Why not take charge of your life by making the commitment to no one but yourself to be healthy. It won't be easy but there is a payoff......a healthy, happy, and less costly future you can afford!
