Health Care Reform? Part Deux

Last week I shared with you my concerns about the supposed health care reform. This week I want to share with you my ideas on how to actually reform our health care. The secret is to stop searching for the cure and start preventing the disease. Every year trillions of dollars are spent to research possible cures for lifestyle diseases and every year a new fad cure hits the market that moves us even further from health (ex. Fosamax that is used to "cure" osteoporosis that actually causes an increase in fractures).
With all of the money raised walking/running for this cause or that cause to raise money to search for the "cure", we could afford to provide our schools with better food, start adding, instead of cutting gym classes and active time, and start subsidizing things that will actually make us healthy like healthy fruits and vegetable or exercise.
So today I want you to stop thinking that you can abuse your body with a diet consisting of 180 lbs of sugar (Actual average consumption of Americans)and stop starving your body of nutrients and exercise because you think that there will be a "cure" to put you back together after years of abuse, because there is never going to be one. Instead take the first step towards health care reform by putting on your shoes and going for a walk, tomorrow go further and longer, the next day add 2 servings of vegetables to your diet and every day after try to do better!!

Forever Committed to Your Wellness,
