Health Insurance

The Only REAL Health Insurance

There is only one type of health insurance . . . taking care of yourself and your health before anything goes wrong.

Honestly. Health insurance is free. It is called eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, thinking happy thoughts, and getting blood work done to monitor your progress. Doing these things correctly will confer more insurance on your health than any government plan or company policy ever would.

And it’s really not that complicated.

1. Eat whole, unprocessed, preferably organic food. If you can’t easily pronounce or identify ingredients on the box, you probably don’t want to eat it. Chicken, spinach, apples, broccoli = good. Bagels, donuts, ice cream, soft drinks = bad.

2. Eat small, frequent, protein-based meals throughout the day. Examples include: an apple and almond butter, grilled chicken salad with vinaigrette dressing, or salmon and veggies. It’s not terribly complicated.

3. Eat until you’re about 80% full. In other words, eat until you’re satisfied, not stuffed.

4. Move often. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park further from your destination and walk.

5. When you exercise, do it vigorously. You don’t need a gym membership to do this. Aim to break a good sweat every day.

6. Have happy, positive, uplifting thoughts. Picture yourself happy, healthy and lean. Turn off the TV, turn on the radio and dance while you’re cooking yourself dinner. Enjoy life.

Sure there are more, but those are the basics – eat right, move right and think right. It’s the best health insurance policy you could ever have. Nothing is certain, but this is a great place to start. And you don’t have to be perfect by the way. If you do these six things more often than not, you’re on the right track.
