On to part nine—the author's contact information is below:

• Keep your own and your family's best interests first and foremost in your health care decisions. Recently, I was chatting with a friend who was telling me about a friend of his, let’s call him Bob, who adamantly believes western medicine over-prescribes medications for things like attention deficit disorder, depression, etc. The friend came to find out Bob’s kid was on an ADD medication. Bob responded, slightly embarrassed, “Well, I said I wasn’t a fan of the medications. I never said my kid didn’t take them.” I guess the point is: Do what you need to do and what is in your and your family’s best interest. Don’t rush into taking medication. But if you’ve tried everything else, it may be the answer. It was for Bob’s kid.

• Overeating—Eating too much at one sitting is particularly taxing on the body and the organs. You’re putting your organs through the ringer trying to deal with all of the excess food. Most of us were raised to finish everything on our plate. There’s no problem with that. Just put less on your plate! If you’re hungry again later, grab some leftovers or a healthy snack to tide you over. You’ll not only feel better, but you’ll be saving money too.

I’m convinced that if you follow the ideas on this list, you’ll feel better, inside and out, and be more successful in your business. More next time.
