• Step 1: Shop for Better Health Care
  You shop around for everything in your life, from cell phone carriers to auto insurance. Health care shouldn't be any different. Look for information about cost and quality to help you make an educated decision.
  
  Step 2: Use the Health Care System Wisely
  It's important that you have a good understanding of the health care system and how to use it. Develop a relationship with your primary care doctor and ask them for referrals when you need to see a specialist. Get a second opinion for major treatments and investigate your hospital. Take medications appropriately and as prescribed by your doctor.
  
  Step 3: Work to Prevent Sickness
  It is up to you to stay healthy, so do what you can now to avoid illness later. There are three aspects to preventing illness:
  *Know your family's medical history and risks, and alert your physician
  *Take preventative measures everywhere in life: eat right, exercise, don't
  smoke or drink excessively, visit a doctor regularly, limit your sun exposure
  etc...
  *Choose a primary care doctor that you have researched and feel confident
  with.
  
  Step 4: Get Moving... At Any Age
  Exercise and diet are key to staying healthy. Exercise increases muscle mass and energy, improves your appearance and just gives you something to do, at any age. If you don't exercise, you place yourself at greater risk for developing heart disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease or a stroke. Walking as little as 30 minutes a day or taking the stairs instead of using the elevator can have a profound effect on your health, fitness and energy levels.
  
  Step 5: Eat a Healthy Diet.
  Eating is a source of joy, comfort and nutrition, but we must maintain a level of healthy eating habits to starve off disease and obesity. Ignore the inviting aromas of fast food restaurants and feed your body what it requires for good health - fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats and whole grains.
  
  Step 6: Understand the Mind-Body Connection
  Many overlook the mind-body connection, even though research shows a correlation. For instance, the immune system is affected by personal thoughts and feelings, so much so that continual stress predisposes us to colds, infections and headaches. Take a minute to learn a mind-body technique, such as meditation or yoga, to capitalize on this strong partnership.
  
  Step 7: Avoid Environmental Pollutants
  Polluted environments - both indoor and outdoor - are some of the greatest threats. The World Health Organization states that indoor air pollution is one of the top 10 killers in the world. Take a moment to evaluate your environment for pollutants, such as internal gas sources, cleaning products, body sprays or air fresheners, and try to reduce their presence in your home. Become environmentally savvy.
  
  Step 8: Value Spirituality and Religion
  Evidence supports prayer as an integral part of the healing process. Whether for you, a relative, a friend of a friend of a friend, prayer can ultimately have a positive impact on a person's health. Best of all, it does us no harm to use prayer as part of the treatment and prevention of disease and the enhancing of well-being.
  
  Step 9: Take Vitamin Supplements
  Every single day, your body engages in thousands upon thousands of processes to keep all of its innumerable systems and functions running. Then, every single night, your body still has to keep many of its essential processes going - and in addition, has to engage in major rejuvenation activities to repair all the wear-and-tear that happened to it during the day.
  
  What this all means is that your body has a never-ending need for high quality nutrients to fuel all the activity during this repeating, around-the-clock cycle.
  
  But getting the right nutrients, in the proper amounts, is a real challenge in today's world. Be sure to visit our links below to find the BEST vitamins for you!
  
  Step 10: Reduce Inflammation
  Inflammation doesn't just happen in your muscles and joints. It also happens everywhere else throughout your body, wherever your cells are being stressed or attacked. So, right now, as you read this, you could be suffering from any of these kinds of inflammation and their related health problems:
  
  *Muscle, joint and bone inflammation - causing ongoing body pain
  *Pulmonary inflammation - causing allergies and asthmatic reactions
  *Arterial inflammation - causing high blood pressure
  *Digestive tract inflammation - causing ulcers and IBS
  *Widespread body cell inflammation - causing overall tiredness
