government pay physicians
Insurance companies, whether private or government owned, must be compelled to pay for health-promoting measures. In turn, this will encourage physicians to offer such treatments in earnest.
night light vision
Limit or eliminate late-night computer and television viewing. A computer or TV screen may seem much dimmer than a light bulb, but these screens often fill your field of vision, mimicking the effects of a room filled with light.
brain important fuel
It is more important to eat some carbohydrates at breakfast, because the brain needs fuel right away, and carbohydrate is the best source.
loss ideas support

sleep hygiene quality
If you have difficulty sleeping or are not getting enough sleep or sleep of good quality, you need to learn the basics of sleep hygiene, make appropriate changes, and possibly consult a sleep expert.
exercise meditation world
For many in the modern world, carving out time for both traditional seated meditation and exercise has become close to impossible.
healing diagnosis economy
If we can make the correct diagnosis, the healing can begin. If we can't, both our personal health and our economy are doomed.
