The 10:10 Wellness community is comprised of a lot of smart people like you who possess an above average value for health and fitness. Your choices result in a standard of healthy living not experienced by the average American. That's good.
Our mission here, to lead people into healthy lifestyles and activities they can get excited about, has some very positive consequences - better health and less sickness. Adopting a lifestyle that maximizes wellness will save us a lot of money in the long term. That's good too.
Because we're in control of our health, we can make decisions that have the greatest impact on our health and our finances. I so firmly believe in this that I wrote a piece on this almost two years ago. It was my healthy contribution to the cure for obesity - or any lifestyle disease.
As our government considers taking more control of our health care system, I feel provoked to speak (or type anyway). If you read the post, I hope you'll agree with it that some of the solutions to our health care "crisis", as the politicians like to put it, can be found in the market.
As a first step, I signed a petition posted by the organization "Free Our Health Care Now". They'll probably ask me for money and to participate in events. I'd rather just go for a run. If I'm truly an advocate for healthy living though, I'll need to do better than that.
If you feel the same, I hope you'll take action, starting with signing the petition.
