I read an article today that shocked me. It cited a 2005 study in the Archives of Internal Medicine, that examined the top five healthy behaviors--not smoking, exercise, healthy diet, managing stress and preventative health care like mammograms and colonoscopies. The study indicated that of the 153,000 people surveyed in 2000, only 2-4% of Americans do all of these things!
With the rising cost of health care--Obamacare or not--I guess I figured more people were living like me, trying to do everything to stay healthy and out of the doctor's office. I guess that study only justifies why I should continue to write this blog and maintain this website!
Please comment on which of the five healthy behaviors you are doing, and which you are not.
