Financial Planning Recommendation
Good health is an asset. Bad health is a liability. Health as an asset or as a liability is true over a lifetime. In retirement, the better health you have, the more enjoyable retirement will be. The poorer the health, the more dollars and time spent dealing with poor health accompanied with usually, not the highest quality of life.
Health is a function of the things we do everyday to promote good health. Health insurance allows us access to the best healthcare technology available when we need it. The health insurance policy itself does not give us good health. The policy is there to get the healthcare we need for health issues.
Our health is a function of the things we do everyday to promote good health.
Practice excellent daily health habits
Eat whole real food everyday. Eliminate processed food, preservatives, pesticides, sugar including the processed chemical sugar and other additives that do not constitute real food as much as possible.

There is a lot of “toxic debris” in processed and fast foods that your cells and systems (physiology) have to deal with. Over a lifetime, you can imagine what an overload this is on your body and mind-the brain is an organ, an organ that “runs the show”. Feed it properly! It is cellular dysfunction that leads to physiological dysfunction. Cellular and physiological dysfunction is disease… dis-ease. Food is the foundation of great health and bad health.
Drink ½ your body weight in ounces of clean filtered water everyday. Use glass containers preferably. Plastics are full of toxic substances that leech into the water. BPA is just the start.

Reduce stress through activities you enjoy somehow, some way, everyday.
Get the amount of restorative sleep your body needs everyday.
