Low Price Health Care - Everday Preventative Action

by: Troy Smith

Low cost health care involves the practice of everyday action and simple yet vital preventative measures. Maintaining a healthy diet of vegetables and fruits, drinking herbal teas, and getting good rest is crucial. Monitoring your food intake and nutrition constantly is the key to keeping your body healthy. Pick up some good tea, fruits, and vegetables today and start taking care of yourself with little money and almost no effort. Do this everyday over your lifetime and you'll spend a lot less time suffering from pain in the hospital or nursing home.

Let's start with what you should do in the morning. Get up and go
straight to the kitchen. It's very important that you eat or drink
something in the morning to get your metabolism going. The earlier
you get your metabolism going, the more calories your will burn. It
will also help your circadian rhythm stay in balance. Get out a
banana, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, and a cup of yogurt and
start blending them in your blender or better yet, your smoothie
maker. Get that smoothie in your stomach and you'll be doing your
intestines a favor the later morning. Bacon and eggs might be your
prefered choice when it comes to taste and satisfaction, but you'll
find that your tastes will change overtime and your body will start to
appreciate and crave this new diet of fruit and yogurt.

When lunchtime comes around go to your grocery store and browse the
produce section for whatever is on sale and in season. Not only do
vegetables taste better when they are in season, they can actually be
more healthy for you at the same time as they can contain more
antioxidants, minerals and vitamins when they are in season. In
addition, people often have bad associations with fruits or vegetables
just because they once ate something that was unripe or rotten and did
not realize that that was not a good representation of what it was
supposed to taste like. If you have a bad association with a fruit or
vegetable learn how to tell when they are ripe and never leave them on
the counter for too long and expect them to stay fresh and taste the
same. I always examine my vegetable rigorously for this very reason
and I have found that I can take a liking to almost anything in the
produce section.

Take your vegetables home and give them a good washing. Put them in a
microwave safe dish and set your microwave setting to fresh
vegetables. If you don't have a microwave with this setting, I highly
recomend you go out shopping for a microwave that does. It is a huge
time saver and I love being able to just press a button and get
perfectly steamed vegeables everytime. Eat your vegetables up and get
on back to work. But take with you your favorite tea. Green tea,
black tea, spice tea whatever. As long as your tea makes you happy, I
don't care what kind it is. The important thing is that you drink tea
instead of something that will give you heartburn like soda pop.
Drink your tea throughout the afternoon as you desire. I find it's a
nice break time activity that generates good conversation with my
coworkers. I like to talk about the benefits of drinking tea and I am
fortunate that my coworkers do as well. If your tea has ginger in it,
it is even thought to aid in digestion. You might think that you have
no digestive problems, and that is great, drinking tea may just
prevent you from ever having them in the future. It 's so much easier
and less expensive to keep your body in good working order by taking
simple preventative steps that are as easy as drinking tea. I can't
stress this enought.

Speaking of stress, when you get home at night and finish your dinner
there is another tea that I like to drink. Before we get to that,
let's talk about dinner. Dinner should not be the largest meal of the
day as contrary to popular practice that may be. However, this is
time for your body to slow down and get ready for a good nights sleep.
Have a small portion of chicken or your favorite cut of meat with
some good whole grains and vegetables on the side. If you can boil
your chicken instead of fry it to reduce your fat intake. Once dinner
is over, I like to drink some chamolile tea and listen to the radio in
bed. The radio? Yes, the radio helps to calm my body down much more
than the T.V. does. This might not be your idea of an exciting night,
but it can really pay off in your long term health if you get to bed
at a reasonable time and get your sleep started off early. Today, it
is all to common for people to get in a bad habit of going to bed late
and getting up feeling groogy and tired. This is not only a bad idea
for your body's health, it is also a bad idea if you intend on
performing well at work.

Please don't put your health care on the backburner. If you do,
you're just asking for high price emergency health care at some point
in the future. Doctors then must resort to powerful medicines with
negative side effects and surgery to treat aliments that could have
been prevented. Keep your body healthy and strong and empower your
natural ability to fight off diseases.
