I don’t always agree with Bill Maher but on his show recently he talked about the health crisis we have in the United States… and he made sense. Watch:
Bill is right on here. As I’ve been saying for years, the solution isn’t another pill, it’s what you put into your body, on your body and what you do with your body that will determine how healthy you’ll be.
There is no magic pill as the pharmaceutical industry or government would make you believe. And no, the government is not here to take care of you.
The only answer is to take responsibility for your own health by eliminating all processed foods, toxins, drugs and concentrating on as much fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and natural grains in their natural state, preferably organically grown as possible. Stay active and maintain a positive outlook.
We can encourage others to do this as well and ‘vote’ with your dollars by buying healthy foods and avoiding the junk. Share this with your schools, friends, co-workers, church members, family… anyone you can. If enough do this, the junk will go away because of simple economics, no one will buy it.
To your best health!

P.S. You can start by ‘voting’ with your own dollars and selecting healthy snacks and food for your family. Learn more.

According to a new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, middle aged men that took popular over-the-counter pain killer medications were found to substantially increase their risk of high blood pressure.
Men that took acetaminophen, ibuprofen and aspirin were found to have between 26-40% higher risk of high blood pressure.
Two other studies found a similar co-relation in women as well.
“People should be aware that these drugs have potential adverse effects…. I would recommend that individuals limit their use of these medications unless they are clearly indicated.” - Senior Author Dr. Gary Curhan noted.
As with most medications, they only mask the symptoms without getting to the root of the problem. Maintaining a healthy diet, being active and managing stress are far more effective in managing (or eliminating) pain… without the side effects.
To your BEST health!
