Health And Well-being

Quality of Life
Good health and well-being is one of your most valuable assets - your health, your life and its length depend on it.
Serious illness calls everything into question - quality of life, family and work are all placed in an uncertain future.
Poor food choices, lack of physical exercise as well as other negative lifestyle choices eventually take their toll over time and may put your health at risk.
Fountain of Youth
The fountain of youth is a legendary spring that brought youth and cured illness to those who drank its waters.
The myth goes back to the 5th century B. C. when Greek historian Herodotus wrote of such a fountain.
In 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León discovered Florida while searching for this eternal fountain of youth.
Maintaining or regaining that youthfulness is healthy living that invigorate the body, strengthens the immune system and reduces health risk factors.
Food should nourish and protect the body at every stage of life.
From our foods we get the essential nutrients out of which the bones, muscles, nerves, skin and all the internal organs are formed.
We also derive the energy we need in carrying on all the activities of life.
When the body does not receive these essential nutrients its cells are literally starved from some deficiency for efficient functioning - sooner or later we may find ourselves with health problems.
All Disease Begins in the Gut
-Hippocrates-Father Of Medicine
An unhealthy waistline is caused by poor lifestyle habits, poor diet, lack of exercise, being overweight and stress.
The old adage, "the smaller your waistline, the longer your lifeline" has real meaning.
A sensible diet and exercise plan is the healthiest way to a well-tapered waistline.
Prevention
Prevention is always far better than the cure.
Every area of life requires balance at every stage of life.
A strong immune system defends the body against viruses, bacteria and infections which can cause inflammation and illness.
Natural foods contain more essential nutrients because they are whole foods.
Devitalized foods have been refined to the extent that many nutrients have been removed.
Exercise
Quality of Life
“Exercise is king. Nutrition is queen. Put them together and you’ve got a kingdom.”
Jack LaLanne (American Fitness And Nutrition Expert)
Exercise builds muscle, shape and strength, it invigorates the organs increasing the health of your heart and lungs and is also a good way of spending leisure time.
It also helps control weight, strengthens the immune system, aids in detoxification and it improves your self- esteem.
Any kind of physical exercise that stimulates better circulation and deeper breathing is good to improve or maintain overall health.
It may include walking, skipping, jogging, running, cycling, swimming and aerobics to weightlifting, yoga, team sport and any other forms of enriching practices that an individual may wish to participate.
Walking is man's best medicine.
(Hippocrates)
For most people, the best exercise is walking to strengthen your heart and lower your blood pressure.
Combined with a muscle toning program, it will help firm the muscles and make you look and feel good.
Other activities like jogging, cycling, swimming or aerobics also burn calories and keep your heart healthy.
Vitality
Quality of Life
To achieve any goal you must have abundant energy that enables you to get through the day.
All the energy which people need comes from food: it is burned by the body and is measured by kilojoules.
To achieve this good-to-be-alive feeling, you need to eat nutrient-rich food, regular exercise and allow yourself time to unwind.
If you eat more food than your body uses up in energy, the surplus kilojoules are stored as fat.
Exercise
The right program of diet, exercise and attitude should form an important part of life.
Exercise builds muscle, shape and strength, it invigorates the organs increasing the health of your heart and lungs and is also a good way of spending leisure time.
It also helps control weight, strengthens the immune system, aids in detoxification and it improves your self- esteem.
Any kind of physical exercise that stimulates better circulation and deeper breathing is good to improve or maintain overall health.

The results will be worth it.
*Visualize daily, the benefits of your health goals.
CAUTION: Before undertaking any program of exercise or change in diet consult your doctor.

"Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow".
Anthony J. D'Angelo.
Credit Cards
A credit card can be a major liability through a vicious cycle of accumulating more debt and eventually making it difficult to make ends meet.
Making only the minimum payment due each month will only make it difficult to get out of debt because you won't be able to reduce your outstanding balance because the minimum payment includes mostly interest.
If you have debt that has gone out of control a credit counseling service can help you create a debt elimination program through a realistic budget that has repayment plans that you should stick to.
Then, when you pay off a credit card, close the account.
If you have any kind of debt that you are struggling to pay, you need to increase your income.
Despite mortgages, credit cards, car payments, tax liabilities and daily household expenses, the important thing is to:
*Pay yourself first every month at least 10 percent of your income before all other payments.
*Create more income.
Pay Yourself First
Quality of Life
Saving helps you reach financial goals.
Always save between 10% and 20% of your weekly or monthly disposable income before you pay any other bills.
Paying yourself first every time you get paid establishes a regular savings program - the more you save, the sooner you will be able to begin investing.
Once you have established regular savings, you will be surprised how easy money is to borrow and the sooner you will be able to begin investing.
The Aspiring Entrepreneur
You achieve financial freedom by investing into the ideas and ways that "make money".
It begins with a clear vision of an opportunity, getting that idea to the marketplace and then turn it into a profitable reality.
Your passion can provide the direction to embark on something that is financially rewarding.
Online Business Opportunities
An online business allows an individual or existing business to create multiple income streams through a variety of marketing methods in various niche markets in the biggest marketplace in the world.
A WEBSITE WORKS ALL YEAR ROUND, 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK!
Investing
Investing wisely means seeking long-term wealth in capital and income with the emphasis on safety.
Develop your financial plan based on realistic goals.
Various investments have varying degrees of risk.
What is right for one person may be wrong for the other.
Don't invest blindly or jump in with a "get-rich-quick mentality hoping to find instant wealth.
And, remember, many advisers are no more than commission sales people who will try to sell you products, irrespective of whether they are suitable or not.
Always get advice from registered and experienced finance experts and firms that best meet your personal financial needs.
And, don't commit yourself to any investment program you can't completely understand.
