Living Healthy
Really Does Matter
What We Do

The main purpose of this website is to
provide a healthy alternative to the
traditional American diet and to assist
you with achieving the best health
possible.

You wouldn't pour a mystery substance
into your car's fuel tank and expect it to
run properly, yet millions of Americans fill
their "fuel tanks" with unhealthy mystery
foods every day!  This site will help you
make healthy food and lifestyle choices.

Health care spending in America has
reached an all time high and is steadily
growing.  America spends more money
on health care than any other country in
the world, and yet our health status is
lower than many third world countries.  
The best way to lower health care
spending is to prevent having to use the
health care system in the first place!  
Getting healthy and staying healthy will
lower national health care spending.

We offer healthy recipes, diet and
exercise tips, and advice on
Complimentary and Alternative Medicine
(CAM) options.  We would like to add
complimentary health practitioners to this
website, please contact us if you would
like your business to be added.

I highly recommend that EVERYONE
watch the movie Food Inc. and visit their
website at www.takepart.com/foodinc.

You Can Become Healthy and Fit.

Why Does It Matter?
Being the healthiest person you can be
is very important.  Whether you are a
Christian or an atheist, a business
person or a stay at home mom, being
healthy is a matter of making the most of
your time, talent, and treasure.  The time
and money that you spend (waste) going
to the doctor and/or being in the hospital
is unnecessary and extremely wasteful.

People are worried and scared that they
won't be able to afford health insurance,
but the best "health insurance" you can
invest in is taking care of the health that
you have.  You will have more energy to
do the things you enjoy and more time to
spend with your friends and family.  By
taking care of yourself, you can be more
productive, use more of your time and
money on things that are really important
to you, and live a long, happy, healthy
life.

I wrote a paper titled Vegetarian Diet and
Health where I researched the MANY
HEALTH BENEFITS of eating a
Vegetarian or  Semi-Vegetarian diet.  
Unhealthy Facts

The CDC recently reported that 1 in 3
adults is obese. Obesity causes a wide
range of "lifestyle" diseases.  You can

It should not surprise anyone that Paula
Deen has diabetes, her recipes are
loaded with fats, calories, and sodium.  
Now she is going to make money selling
drugs!

Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of
death in America.  23.6 million
Americans have diabetes, which equals
almost 8% of the population.  Total
health care and related costs for the
treatment of diabetes is $174 BILLION.  
Type 2 diabetes is preventable and
treatable with proper diet and exercise.
Obesity and lack of exercise are the
most common causes of Type 2
diabetes.

According to the CDC, only 25% of
Americans are getting the recommended
5 or more servings of fruits and
vegetables a day and that only 29% of
Americans are getting 20 minutes of
exercise a day, 3 or more times a week.  
Is it any wonder that we are unhealthy?

Americans eat way too much fast food
and processed food.  Even salads can
