Use The NEWSS To Avoid Dependence On Medicine
by Michael D. Hume, M.S.
By now, most Americans are aware that the Obamacare "reform" of our medical system, rammed through Congress with shady deals starting this time last year, will have little to do with health care. It's about government takeover of a big chunk of the (formerly) free-market economy. It's about control.
Some of the onerous taxes attached to this legislative fiasco will kick in pretty soon, and then we'll start feeling the sort of pain no doctor can treat. As awareness of the real nature of the legislation has grown over the past year, more Americans favor its repeal... more than two-thirds, according to the latest polls.
Who knows whether the next Congress and president will let them get away with this permanently? And, if so, who knows how long it will take them to dismantle the greatest medical system in the world's history? Smart people are moving now to protect their financial health by starting a business and getting smart about how to protect wealth in the new global economy. For physical health, though, your best options today are these: keep your eye on the political news (for clues on how to use your vote to protect the medical system), and keep your discipline with The NEWSS (the five most important daily health habits to protect yourself from "bad medicine").
It's tough during the holidays, but keep paying attention to your Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sleep, and Supplements. Slow down on the processed and low-nutrition garbage that's everywhere around you these days - try to limit your treats to small quantities of the really-tasty goodies that are "worth it." If you don't have time to make it to the gym, at least get in as much walking as you can (and don't forget to stretch). Drink at least two liters of water a day - a good rule is to make sure you get a glass of water down with each alcohol or caffeine beverage. Get your eight hours' sleep. And even when you're busy, you can still take your daily vitamins.
Make it easier for your body to recover from the holidays. In a few days, when you start on your New Year's resolutions, you'll thank yourself.
