Free Health Care IS available for Everyone

We don’t need President Obama, the government or any other organization to give us health care free. I know everyone wants more at less cost. But the debate isn’t about health care, it is about sick c

What about health care is free? Well, if you exercise or not is in your control. You don’t need a gym! Park further away from the door where ever you go and walk. You can do some body weight exercises everyday during commercials, on your lunch hour, before or after work. You don’t have to be in shape, you just have to do. If you aren’t sure how to start, get some advice. Ask someone who has studied a little about exercise. If you are just completely stumped, register for Ask Bruce Anything and ask me. I will get you started and then go out and interview some experts for you.

You don’t need the government, a doctor or dietitian to tell you not to eat between meals, or to avoid eating lots of sugar or not to eat such big portions or not to have seconds. You know that french fries and potato chips are not vegetables. That soda, regular or diet is very expensive water and you know that eating too much makes you bloated, uncomfortable and fat. You know that already if you know how to read.

If you live in a place not paid for by your parents you know that advertising is meant to get you to buy and not to inform you. It is easy to get information free if you are willing to go to the public library. We have had free information in this country since Ben Franklin started the public library.

You know drugs can hurt you, even prescribed drugs if you aren’t careful, and that you should not smoke and if you drink alcoholic beverages they are not food and at best you break even with moderate use. Caffeine, nicotine, and other additives are drugs. They stimulate your nervous system in ways that can be harmful. That is free information and you are totally in control of that.

You have to eliminate waste and you need certain inputs like enough water and enough fiber to make it happen well. If you strain to poop, have dark urine that smells immediately, if you don’t pee every 2-3 hours while awake and if you can not eliminate your solid waste we call #2 easily and regularly you have a problem. Drinking 2 quarts of water daily and eating enough fiber is easy. If you can’t get fiber any other way, mix a tablespoon of ground flax seed into 4 ounces of Stoneyfield yogurt and eat it for dessert every day. Bye, Bye constipation.

Get enough sleep! How much is enough? You should feel awake, alert and refreshed when you awaken. That not happening? How often do you wake up at night? How many hours of sleep do you get? Are you eating late at night? Don’t eat after 7PM if you sleep at night and don’t eat simple carbohydrates after 4PM. Simple carbs are sugar, fruit, fruit juice and all white foods except cauliflower and skim milk.

The debate in our country isn’t about health care – that is free. It is about sick care somewhat, but mostly it is about personal responsibility. If you smoke a pack a day for 30 years and develop lung disease, you have to be responsible for that. If you over eat your entire life and are morbidly obese and have hypertension and diabetes, you are responsible for that. I am not saying you do not deserve help, but do you deserve it as much as someone who is hurt on the job or while serving in the armed forces? We have finite resources. Who should they go to? The person who has been responsible or the person who hasn’t.

I can’t answer that but I can say, Health Care is FREE! It is the application of restraint and responsibility in our life. Sick care is another thing altogether. Get your health care! Do it now before you need sick care. What do YOU think?

are. Health care is free and is totally in your control.
