I was watching CNN yesterday as Senator John McCain was talking about Health Care reform. Now common sense will dictate that the US health care proposals are a disaster, I am a Canadian and we have been enduring the affects of socialist health care for years!
Anyone who knows me is often surprised about the fact that I don't get sick. What do I attribute this to? My life long quest in the martial arts. Martial Arts training when done properly will bring the mind and body into harmony. Between the exercise and the breathing control your cells are nourished and given oxygen. Combine this with proper diet and water and you have a mix for optimum health. Martial Arts training not only tones the muscles and makes your bones stronger, but the MIND element brings calm and peace of mind to the practitioner.
One of the most important aspects of health is what the mind is doing. Parents will bring children to the martial arts to help the child with focus. What is the child learning to focus on? His or her own BODY. The mind is learning to control the body, which helps improve focus everywhere.
So where am I going with all this? If the US really wants to do something about people health give people 100% tax breaks for joining a gym, martial arts program etc. They must however participate to get the break. This called prevention :) This will be far less expensive in the long run and help people live longer, happier lives. The system needs repair, not government control.
Start today, take charge of your health NOW. Don't wait till you need outside help!
