Mental Attitude:
 
Positive Mental Attitude is a mental phenomenon in which one can
increase achievement
through optimistic thought processes. It implies a vision of
good-natured change in one's mind; and employs a state of mind that
seeks, finds and executes ways to win, or find a desirable outcome,
regardless of circumstances. It rejects negativity, defeatism and
hopelessness. The process of achieving a positive mental attitude
employs motivating "self talk" and deliberate goal-directed
thinking. Positive mental attitude has been known to help people
through difficult times or help overcome illness; hence, "laughter
is the best medicine."
Keogh, C.B.
 
 
Health Alert:
 
Cost of Health Care. HMOs spend more money treating Adverse Drug
Reactions than on the
actual drugs! Adverse Drug Reactions are the #1 cost of malpractice
payouts! So, before turning to
pharmaceuticals for your health, consider an alternative such as
diet and exercise. Of course, always check with your doctor first.
Employee Benefit Research Institute for Medicare/Medicaid, 2007
 

Diet:
 
What's in Your Cereal? Some popular cereals marketed to children
are 40-50% sugar, comparable to a
glazed doughnut! Consumer Reports, Nov 2008  
Look at the ingredients!
 
 
Exercise:
 
Heart-Healthy Exercise. Here are some of the benefits of aerobic
exercise:
* Increases blood supply to muscles and their ability to utilize
oxygen.
* Increases amount of blood pumped (per beat and per minute).
* Increases HDL ("good") cholesterol and lowers triglycerides.
* Reduces resting heart rate and systolic/diastolic blood pressure.
* Reduces high cholesterol and risk of developing high cholesterol.
To achieve the maximum cardiovascular benefit during aerobic
activities, you should exercise for at least 20-30 minutes at a
time and build up to your "target heart rate" - a range of beats
per minute that represents approximately 60-85% of your maximum
heart rate. Mayo Clinic
 
 
Chiropractic:
 
Pain as Your Health Guide? "Only 10% of our nervous system
perceives pain." The rest of
your nervous system is busy monitoring, controlling and
communicating, back and forth from your brain to your body. So how
do you know if it is functioning properly? Chiropractic enhances
proper spinal motion and proper spinal motion can help maximize
nervous system function.

"It's a lot harder to keep people well than it is to just get them
over a sickness."
