2012 Discover Wellness

Today Americans are faced with a health care crisis. Being sick costs a lot of money. The cost of health care has doubled from 1993 to 2004 and is continuing to increase. “Every 30 seconds in the United States someone files for bankruptcy due to serious health problems.” The cost of being sick takes a huge toll on our pocket books. This increase in health care costs increases the taxes and cost of items we purchase.

$1.95 at Starbucks for a cup of coffee, $.30 goes to cover medical costs.

$50 for a tank of gas, $7.50 goes to cover medical costs.

$2,500 on a plasma tv and surround sound system, $375 goes to cover medical costs.

Tragically this increase in health care costs has not created a healthier society.

A study by the World Health Organization ranks the United States 15 out of 25 among industrialized nations based on a wide variety of health measures. The large cost associated with health care is being spent on new drugs and therapies, which have not lead to better health. The only way to stay healthy and avoid developing these diseases is to “live a lifestyle that promotes wellness!”

“We need more people less sick”

If less people are sick then less money will be needed to manage health care. It is easier and more cost effective to keep a healthy person healthy than to attempt to make a sick person healthy. The wellness lifestyle that is necessary to be healthy requires a proactive approach.

This includes healthy eating habits, consistent physical activity, proper spinal health (via spinal adjustments), and a properly functioning brain and nervous system. Simply put “health is not merely the absence of disease anymore than Wealth is merely the absence of poverty.”
