STAY AT HOME
USING THE SELF-HEALTH PROGRAM
The odds are we all will need a nursing home in our future. Hospitals are for short term and skilled nursing homes are for long term restorative care. But the following is the essence of living longer by living better … thus staying out of nursing homes.
PRACTICE A SELF=HEALTH PROGRAM
Self=health is the BIG sister to Self-help. It enables each person to administer their own health care services and life expectancy. Sure, there are circumstantial events in life that change all good intentions and plans. And I’m not talking about chronic diseases, accidents due to aging, broken homes, broken marriages, lost jobs, not enough time to take care of myself, etc. These are controllable to a great extent.
I’m talking about acts of God, concussions, infectious diseases and uncontrollable events. So, Self=health makes a positive contribution to your lifestyle and longevity. Studies have found that exercise is the most important contributor to prevention of chronic diseases and mental depression. The controller of this is you … you either take the time to do it or suffer the circumstances invented by your reluctance to take responsibility for your own health and fitness.
Nationally, this in itself, has driven the cost of health care services to the point of bankruptcy. We can blame Obama Care or the political parties or the President but the enemy is us.
Facts (here is the challenge for Americans):
