Truth be known, more people inquire about life insurance to the top three on line mega agencies in a month, than I will serve in a lifetime. They are overwhelming the business with the law of large numbers. If you write a large enough check to Google you get a large...

I really like it when someone comes down to my level to explain something. I was reading an article on the 10 best foods to eat and at the end they had this explanation about why antioxidents are a big deal, “The science is clear: Plant foods are good for you....

I saw a news program not too long ago about a teacher who had started an informal exercise program before normal classes started. She made it loose and fun and a chance for the kids to walk and talk and walk and walk, and talk and walk. This was done at 7 in the...

For those that do read my blog, you might be thinking that I’ve made it my mission in life to point out everything wrong with obesity. And to some extent I have. But I hope the reason isn’t lost in all of the information I provide. I care deeply about...

I’m bad when I go on vacation. Depending on where I go and what they have to eat and drink, I can gain 8-10 pounds pretty handily while I am relaxing. Hand in hand with the food and drink is that, in spite of my best intentions, I rarely exercise regularly while...

Well, let’s just roll two of my top topics into one blog and see if we can bring a little common sense to bear on the causes of cancer. If a poll was taken and people were asked to name the leading causes of heart disease and cancer, I suspect (because it would...

What if your father died at age 52 of a heart attack? He was overweight. He smoked and led a sedentary lifestyle. He simply didn’t do anything to take care of himself and appears to have paid the price. Now there is you. Never smoked. Never drank. You get plenty...

We talk all the time about how losing control of one part of your health inevitably has a compounding effect on other areas of your health. Stress, or anxiety, is certainly not an exception to that rule. In a recent post we talked about how some amount of stress,...

I hope in previous posts I have made it abundantly clear that smoking cigarettes and looking for low life insurance rates is an oxymoronic walk in which you can’t get there from here. I have also gone on a bit about the reasons that life insurance underwriters...
