Government Bailout for your Health?

Wow, the stock market just took the biggest fall ever. The health of the US economy is in question. The vote on the bailout didn't go the way wall street was hoping. Who will be responsible for what is to come now?

In these times of potential chaos it is imperative to take stock and realize there is an ebb and flow to everything. Perhaps this proposed bailout is not best for the long term health of our economy.

A quick fix always comes with a price and may not be the answer

When it comes to your health the quick fix always comes with a price. To make the quick fix of drugs sound better, the effects that are not pleasant are called "side effects".

How about this list of side effects: stomach pain **swelling of mouth, tongue, and lips**confusion
**dizziness**drowsiness**difficulty breathing**stomach upset**rash**stomach ulcer**ringing of the ears**hives**vomiting**wheezing**heartburn**blood disorders**blood in stool**hearing loss**Reye's Syndrome.

This must be some heavy duty drug you'd think?

A few of the side effects might give it away. This is you everyday aspirin. Yep, aspirin. No doctor's prescription required just pick up your own at the drug store, grocery store, even the service station will have it. You can buy an energy drink and a small bottle of 'sprins' while the pump is cranking out four gallons of gas for $20.00.

Drugs are the ultimate health bailout. Quick fix. Cover the symptom and continue on.

But the price down the road will be a heavy toll.

With the economy it may mean years of slow growth. Difficulty obtaining home loans or credit. With your health it will come down to one important drawback; years off your life. Or might I say fun years off your life!

Back up and take pause, there is no bailout for our health. It's not the drug you take today its the exercise you do regularly. The foods you consume. The supplements you take or don't take. It all adds up over the years.

Might I suggest we all just go for it? Let's get out there and walk, run, bike, lift a few weights. Get up and move. Slam the medicine cabinet closed and never open it again!

Get adjusted so you are balanced and go for it!
