Are you worried your health will get worse?

Are you worried that your health will get worse in the next 10 to 15 years? Are you aware that health care facilities, hospitals and clinics are being filled to capacity? And the cost can be quite shocking. If you're under insured or without any insurance coverage, that means a bigger cost out of your pocket.
If you're not worried, consider the increase cases of diseases has skyrocketed in the last 25 years. Heart disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyelgia, COPD, virus infections, flu strains (H1N1), diverticulitis, colitis and diabetes are a few of the illnesses on the rise. Metabolic Syndrome - the precursor to diabetes is at epidemic levels in our society. Prescription drug and OTC medication consumption is at the highest level in our nation's history.
What are you doing to prevent yourself from being diagnosed with a health problem?
What are you doing to lower your risk? Eating healthier? Exercise?
While these concepts are very important to lowering your risk, here are 5 additional steps.

1- Get adequate amounts of rest. The body does most of its repair/rejuvenation during sleep.
2- Educate yourself by understanding what foods are the best/least nutritional to eat.
3- Wash your hands frequently. Majority of diseases are transmitted thru contact (touching).
4- Stay active- both physically and mentally. Even if you don't exercise regularly - stay active.
Get involved with something that keeps your mind always thinking.
5- Get a checkup with a doctor at least every 24 months for prevention.
