Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Recently, someone challenged me to name the 10 healthiest foods. I found the query intriguing ‘ there are literally thousands of foods from which to choose! After pondering this question, it occurred to me that most Americans get more than their fair share of meat and dairy products and therefore need no urging to include these foods in their diets. We all know that excessive amounts of fat, sugar and processed foods aren’t good for us.

University Student Health Insurance

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

It’s often said that beauty is wasted on the young and the reason that is, is because the young have never been old and so have nothing to compare their youth too. Apart from youthful good looks, young people are far less likely to get sick which is why they can save themselves a packet on health care. Of course, we’ve all heard the sob stories of the starving students, and although they might be able to get University Student Health Insurance at ridiculous cost, they will still argue that it’s outrageous when compared to their pitiful income. Many students in the present day graduate with huge student loans. Loans which are impossible for older generations to comprehend. Starting life with debt up to your neck and round it before you’ve even started a career is enough to upset the mental health and wellbeing of anyone, but hey! No one ever said life was easy. All the kids of today need to know is that we’re a long time old, so it’s crucial to make the most of every day of health and happiness. YOU are not your loan, so don’t let the material upset your balance and perspective on life.
