The Healthy Tightwad

Did you know that Americans now pay more for their healthcare than any other global citizen? And if you think the United States healthcare practitioners provide the best medical care possible, guess again. According to an article in the prestigious Journal of American Medical Association US doctors caused:

a.) 225,000 deaths per year:

b.) 12,000 unnecessary surgeries;

c.) 7,000 medication errors in hospitals;

d.) 20,000 errors in hospitals;

e.) 106,000 non-error, negative effects of drugs.

In a world where healthcare costs are out of control and the system is designed to cure illness and not create health, isn't it time to take charge of your own health?

Not sure yet.  Let me share some important recent research from David Keitch's book Life ExtensionExpress, regarding lifestyle:

"The Interheart study, published in September 2004 in The Lancet followed 30,000 men and women on six continents and found changing lifestyle could prevent at least 90% of all heart disease."  And according to this health researcher, the same diet and and lifestyle changes can prevent or reverse many other chronic diseases. . Notice that David Keitch did not say pharmaceuticals or expensive medical care offered the solution to prevent or reverse chronic disease but MERELY INEXPENSIVE LIFESTYLE changes like nutrition, exercise and stress reduction.

As the famous author Ayn Rand once said "If you choose to perish, do so with full knowledge of how cheaply, how  small an enemy has claimed your life."

Now if you are TRULY ready to take charge of your health, The Healthy Tightwad offers AFFORDABLE services and products to create optimum health for you.  It is my mission to teach you about health, while saving money to have more fun in your life.  After all, "The greatest wealth is health!" -Virgil
