Don’t Fear the Truth

the pill once a day, and voila and everything is ok. What also helps hearburn is to not eat Fast Food, add some vegetables to your diet, and get some exercise. When my wife and I are busy and slip into eating bad food (because its convenient, we love that we both have to work and have little free time) she gets bad heartburn. Eat better, it goes away. But why do that? Just take the Purple Pill. I remember asking people years ago ‘do you think they had heartburn problems 100 years ago? If its just spicy food (as people would tell you), what did people from Mexico, or Korea do before drugs were available? It’s not spicy food, it’s just the crap they put in food, along with a ton of other things, that cause frequent heartburn. The key is that society saying its caused by spicy foods gives people the impression that it’s natural, and nothing is wrong. There is something wrong. M-c-D-o-n-a-l-d-s. If you eat healthier and exercise, you can eat hot salsa, peppers, whatever, and not get heartburn.

Back on track: guess who signed the bill to make it possible for drug companies to advertise? Bill Clinton. So for the democrats out there, don’t think its only the Republicans that are helping big businesses. The system is flawed, and the answer isn’t to decide which party is better, its to trash the entire thing and figure out one that works.

my wife and I have had any substantial savings. With another on the way, I don’t see it improving.

The interesting thing though, is that I researched this tonight because of a news cast I saw on the local PBS station. The reporter was saying how savings are low, etc etc. and that savings are particularly the worst in the lowest paid sections of society. The money in savings across the nation is almost exclusively from the upper class.

“The middle and lower classes will primarily depend on borrowing and credit to get them through times of need”

Rich people have savings. Poor people need to borrow… from the rich people to survive in the event they run into problems.

Now isn’t that nice.

Abolish labor laws, let Walmart under pay half of the lower class in America, and when they get in trouble? “Well cmon over here, I can get you plenty of credit and a nice 23% Interest rate. Now run along, and don’t forget to pay me, or I will report you to the Big 3 credit companies and then you won’t even have this to fall back on.”

it increases the length of “good living” towards the end of our lives. In the later years of our lives most people will experience a big medical event. Something like cancer or a broken hip or stroke and our ability to function physically is decreased leaving us with a poorer quality of life until we finally die. Now people who eat right and exercise regularly still have these significant medical events in the twilight years of life, but they tend to be delayed by 7 to 13 years and the time between this event and when they actually die is shortened. So basically not only will you live longer by taking care of yourself but the length of time you have quality life will increase as well and the amount of time you’ll be in poor health at the end of your life will decrease. I don’t know about you but if I have to go I’d rather it was pretty quick in the end and not after years of dealing with a debilitating illness.

A bit of fact and a bit of opinion here. I used to be overweight, then I dieted down and ended up underweight. In the past two years I’ve finally gotten a handle of my health however and I’m doing great. Awsome blood pressure, BMI in the right range, I eat good, work out often and I feel amazing.

Studies have been done that show a correlation between the way we treat ourselves and how long we live. Common sense right? Then why do so many of us still insist upon killing ourselves everyday instead of buckling down a little and doing what’s right. It’s really not that hard, I never thought I’d be a 6 days a week at the gym and salads for lunch everyday kind of person but once you get yourself doing it you miss it when you can’t do it. It has made a difference in more then just the way I look and feel physically, it has made me a happier person personally as well, I am far more confident and capable of dealing with life in general I think.

Now there are a ton of diets online you can find but I think most everyone knows what’s good and what’s bad. Give it a couple weeks and you’ll be amazed at what it does for you and how good you really feel. Try going for a walk everyday at lunch, use some olive oil and vinegar instead of salad dressing at lunch (because if you’re going to load up your salad with ranch dressing you might as well go enjoy that burger instead. quit trying to fool yourself). Smoking is the last part of the food exercise equation and to me was the hardest, do what you have to tho because even tho it’s the hardest it’s also the most damaging.

There are more sources then you can imagine out there for information on what foods are good for you, to give you simple exercise routines to start out with and to help quit smoking take advantage of this great resource we have in the internet and get yourself on the fast track to living longer and being happier doing it!

to write about music, movies, products, etc. so that the ‘blogosphere’ will get talking about it. The idea is that, well, its like a virus. One bloggers writes about it, another one reads that article, then writes his own article (not paid for by payperpost) and hopefully it becomes a firestorm of discussions about some product. I had heard about them awhile back, and there was quite the controversy over it. Now it seems the bloggers have to put an icon in their post saying they were compensated for the post. Full Disclosure, etc. I can’t see how it would work, but if people are getting paid, oh well.

Add to it that most businesses pay less in labor (proportionately) than they did years ago, and it adds up to overtime being less costly than hiring more employees to cover the work. Its also a psychological trick in that if an employee has the feeling there is a huge amount of work to do, it adds a sense of urgency to him, so he works faster. He hurries. Hire more employees, and when the business goes through a minor slump, you have employees with nothing to do. A business working a lot of overtime might just reduce overtime, or remove overtime for a slow period. Workers are still productive. If anything they get a much needed break from working too much.

Next time you watch some show on TV where a 16 year old girl gets a Jaguar for her birthday, (recent MTV show had a 16 year old girl get a $96,000 Jaguar for her birthday) remember her parents probably paid for that by overworking their already underpaid employees.
