PREVENTON

There is nothing more important than your health.

We'll put the finest clothes on the outside of our bodies, but we'll put anything on the inside our bodies. We'll put premium gas in our automobiles and junk food in our stomach. We'll learn about everything under the sun, except, what will help us stay healthy.

I guess, since we have health insurance and doctors and hospitals, if we get sick we'll just whip out the old insurance card, slap it down on the admitting desk and take a number.

Well the old adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is still true.

If you had Bill Gates money, but someone had to pick you up and put you in bed, someone had to sponge bathe you, change your depends, clean you up afterwards, spoon feed you, when they took you to your limo, they had to carry you and put you in it, you would probably be willing to give up your riches for good health.

When we have our health, we tend to take it for granted. We all should take a little time to find out what makes us tick, and how to keep ticking.

I want to start sharing some information on by blog about health and hopefully start a dialog with others so as a people we can make better choices about what we eat.

We lost one of our City Council members here in Detroit as a result of complications due to gastric bypass surgery. She died too young. I don't believe in stapling, tying, clamping or wiring you stomach, jaws or anything else in order to lose weight.

Healthy choices in our food, exercise, fasting, supporting one another will go a long way in saving lives.

I will be getting back with you!!!
