Preventative maintenance and Health Care

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am tired of the constant fighting and face offs between our government officials in regards to health care. When you think about it, who really has the final say...you do. I believe it is high time that we as individuals take things into our own hands by taking care of ourselves. By taking responsibility for our lives and the condition they are in. Basically, I'm talking Preventative Maintenance. You take your cars and lawnmowers in for regular maintenance, why not yourselves. Start eating better. Start exercising. Quit smoking. Drink less. Make the time and commitment to a healthier lifestyle. No, its not easy, but the alternative is even scarier. If you are unsure how to get started, work with a fitness professional or a personal trainer or a nutritionist. Let Washington know enough is enough. Its time to take care of yourself, because ultimately in the end, no one else will. Certainly not the government. You'll feel better in the end. No pun intended...
