Affirmation for July 7, 2010: Longer Life

The... patient should be made to understand that he or she must take charge of his own life.  Don't take your body to the doctor as if he were a repair shop.- Quentin RegesteinThought of the day:Today's quote speaks to preventative care-- with the healthcare taking the news spotlight these days, and becoming an increasing issue among those who don't have healthcare, it's important to remember this undisputed fact: taking good care of your body with good diet and exercise habits lowers health costs. Both now and in the long run.Limit your intake of fast food, and replace junk food with fruits and vegetables to snack on. A bag of baby carrots with a banana will fill you up faster than a bag of Lays potato chips. And joining a sport or finding a walking group is a great way to meet people and keep in shape!Have a take charge day!TeamDS
