In today's world, a life expectancy of more than 100 years is not uncommon. People are looking for better health remedies. It's a fact that people are living longer. Just watching Al Roker announce the birthdays on the Today show is a good reminder.

This is a really good reason to take good care of yourself. You will need to have a healthy body, mind and spirit for a long time. It's never too late to start but the earlier the better! It's up to you.

With the many changes in healthcare today, doctors are overwhelmed and there is no time for those lengthy office visits we used to have. You must be your own advocate. Educate yourself now. Be an informed partner with your doctor and  do all that you can to stay on the healthy path.
