The American Countdown...hold on to your hats!


1 in 10 kids are on a psychotropic medication
1 in 9 adults over 20 years old have diabetes
1 in 8 deaths are not considered preventable (the rest are)
1 in 7 adults or more are on cholesterol drugs
1 in 6 kids are considered developmentally disabled
1 in 5 pre-adolescents are obese
1 in 4 women are on an anti-depressant
1 in 3 Americans get cancer
1 in 2 people die from their first symptoms of heart disease... a heart attack

The reality is, "I am a statistic." It is not about becoming one, it is about realizing I am one right now... the question is, which one am I?

No one wants to be the "ONE."

If I am going to be the "ONE," I am going to be the one that lives in the balance of the equation. I want to be one of the 4 of the 5 that doesn't ... or the 7 of 8, or the 1 in 2 that you don't hear about because I don't "get it," whatever "it" is.

77% of cancers are preventable. 7 out of 8 deaths are preventable. That means 7 out of 8 people are suffering and dying early and unnecessarily.

Be the statistic that no one hears about, the one that goes through life living fully happily, and enjoying a long and healthy, vibrant life.



How much more will you be, contribute, or offer your family and the world by committing to being healthy, happy, clear minded, and the best version of yourself?

We can always improve. There is no upper limit to health, happiness and fulfillment, but there is a lower limit for sure... don't go there!

Be proactive! Take control of your health! Learn what you need to do in order to stand out from the pack. Be accountable and responsible for your own fate and health and the health of your children. Set your kids up right with the appropriate priorities and example of how to live a whole and healthy life. Seek help BEFORE the need is apparent, and take action when it is. Don't make excuses, don't accept the status quo, do not fall victim of moderation, and don't settle for good enough. Your LIFE depends on it and you can achieve more!


We can do better! Here is to a fantastic day! Share this with someone you care about! Have them call in for a Check-up! Tell your friends!

WHAT WE GET WHEN WE GIVE

By Christine Carter, PHD Did you know that kinder people actually live longer, healthier lives? People who volunteer tend to experience fewer aches and pains. Giving help to others protects overall health. People 55 and older who volunteer for two or more organizations have an impressive 44% lower likelihood of dying-and that's after sifting out every other contributing factor, and many more. This means that volunteering is nearly as beneficial to our health as quitting smoking! It isnt just that kind of people also tend to be healthier and happier, or that happy , healthy people are more kind. Experiments have actually demonstrated again and again that kindness toward others actually causes us to be happier, improves our health, and lengthens our lives. We feel so good when we give because we get what researchers call a "helpers high," or a distinct physical sensation associated with helping. About half of participants in one study report that they feel str

The Idea of Winning

Sunday Evening was the big football game of the year, most of us sat in front of the television with our friends and family cheering on our favorite team. The super bowl is more than just a fun game of football. Taking a look deeper into the team, it takes a lot more than strength, good tactics and cheering fans to win a game. Each player must have the idea of teamwork, discipline and most importantly, the idea of winning. From the thoughts in his brain to his toes, each part of his body, mind & soul must work together to win. One who strives everyday to win & complete his tasks the right way will win. Winning is a habit, and so is losing. Strive for more than what you think you are capable of everyday, anything is possible with the correct mindset. “Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered with failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much, nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that k
