How Much is Your Life Worth?

The debate over last years Patient Protection Act / ObamaCare (depending on your political affiliation) was unquestionably intense, with both sides resorting to extreme hyperbole; Investors Business Daily claimed that if ObamaCare passed, resulting in a health care system similar to the UK’s, world renowned physicist Stephen Hawking “wouldn’t stand a chance”, completely ignoring that fact that Professor Hawking has lived in England for all of his 67 years. Health care proved to be one of the most divisive political issues of the early 21st century. Even though the Zeitgeist has moved on to pastures new -the economic implosion, new and old wars in the middle east- the question of health care cost is one that only a lucky few are able to avoid. Intrigued by the question of how many dollars we expend to preserve our lives, we fired the research machine and went statistic hunting. Displayed below, in fantastic three tone colour, are our findings. Published by Healthystomach.org Designed by Neomam

10 superfoods to make you look younger

I am a bit of a late convert to the superfoods regimen. I tend not to be someone who jumps on the bandwagon of every new cure and health fad that comes along. But I have to say the argument for superfoods has won me over with time for two simple reasons: 1. The science is pretty sound 2. The superfoods all taste great so to hell with the health stats anyway! If they’re doing something good for our families health then great, if not, still great! So there you have a Grace Pamer Superfoods 101 spot check argument. Succinct, to the point and lacking in empirical evidence. Enjoy! – added by iLanskiii

While some people will ingest these products in addition to their regular medications, others have completely abandoned traditional medicine in favor of these health supplements and other alternative treatments.
