Saving Money


The numbers you see and hear are staggering! Nearly a trillion dollars - over the next decade - to fund health care for some 30 million people. And these numbers are from the men and women who have been known to stretch the truth a bit if the prospects for election seem favorable.

This isn't about calling everyone in Washington liars and cheats. We all know they are. Most have good intentions.

How can you help keep those astronomical price tags from growing even higher?

Enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Practice healthy habits. Watch what you eat and stay active. Get off the couch and get some exercise - every day.

The benefits are clear and measurable.

You really can enjoy life more. You can have more energy and more fun.

Yes, you can cut your stress levels - substantially! You can ward off the post-Holidays let-down. Ward off the blues. Reduce or even eliminate signs of depression.

You can lose weight! You can have a much better attitude and a brighter outlook on life!

You don't have to spend a fortune. Many healthy, happy, and contented folks have never set foot in a fancy health club. ( And there are many who do - regularly! ) The point is - you can get healthy and enjoy a better quality of life and never need to part with much of your hard earned cash.

Take stock of where you are today. And then consider where you'd like to be in terms of your health. Do you want more energy for handling everything this wonderful life throws your way? Maybe you just want to lose a few pounds before swimsuit season returns.

Decide on a goal. Then start moving toward your goal. Do whatever type of sport or exercise you most enjoy. Start a new habit. Drop an unhealthy habit or two. If you've been inactive for a while - no worries - just start small. And then pick up the pace a little bit at a time.

You really can save your money when you lead a healthy lifestyle. Do it for you! Do it for your country!

Start today! Start saving money. Your money! Start getting in shape!
