Title:How to Find Affordable Health InsuranceWord Count:706Summary:Affordable health insurance - it seems, especially today, those words just don't belong togetherin the same sentence. Health insurance monthly premiums have become the biggest singleexpense in our lives - surpassing even mortgage payments.Keywords:health insurance, budget health insurance, insurance, healthArticle Body:Affordable health insurance - it seems, especially today, those words just don't belong togetherin the same sentence. Health insurance monthly premiums have become the biggest singleexpense in our lives - surpassing even mortgage payments. In fact, if you have any permanenthealth problems, such as diabetes, or have had cancer at one time in your family history, yourmonthly cost could easily be more than the house and car payment combined.Shopping for affordable health insurance can certainly be an eye-opener. If you have alwayshad a health insurance benefit where you work - especially a state or federal employee - andnow have to buy your own, you may not be able to afford the level of health insurance coverageyou have become used to.Affordable health insurance, however, is definitely available -if you know how and where tolook.When you are looking for affordable health insurance, you want the lowest cost per year thatwill fit your budget, of course. But, even more importantly, you want a company that has agood record for paying without fighting with you on every detail. Just as there is a car for justabout any budget, there is also affordable health insurance. You may not be able to afford a\"Cadillac\" policy - but then you probably don't need all the frills anyway.Shopping for health insurance on the internet is the easiest and best way to find affordablehealth insurance. Here are five reasons why.1. You don't need a local agent to help you submit the claims for health insurance. The medicalprovider does it for you. You save money because the health insurance company saves moneyby not paying the agent commission. This could amount to an 8% to 12% savings to you.2. All the top health insurance companies are at your fingertips on the internet. Most localagents can only quote you from the few companies that they represent. They may not offer youwhat is best for you financially or health-wise but only what they happen to have available.3. Health insurance companies have to be extremely competitive because it is so quick and easy

to compare them with their competitors on the internet today. In the past you would have had tovisit physically eight to ten agents to do a similar comparison. Most folks just didn't have thetime or desire for that.4. You can change your coverage, deductibles, and payment options with just a few clicksrather than going through the paperwork delay with a local agent (and then finding out he/shemade a mistake - more delay).5. Charging to a credit card means you aren't going to forget a payment and be withoutinsurance. Also, it gives you another 30 days before you actually have to pay. Also, manycompanies today give an additional discount for \"auto-pay\".The key, however, to finding affordable health insurance is realizing that the purpose of anyhealth insurance is to protect you from a major financial loss - not to protect you from spendingsmall money on clinic visits and sliver removal. These small expenses may be cumbersome butthey generally will not hurt you. It's the $100,000 heart operation that will break you. That's thefinancial disaster health insurance was originally designed to prevent.Also, keep this in mind. Health insurance, as with any insurance, is a gamble. You are gamblingthat you will draw out more than you pay in. Your health insurance company is gambling theywill pay out less. The odds are in their favor for two reasons. They have all the facts formillions of families to average out, so they know the risk in advance. Also, they get to set therules and the prices. The higher you set your deductible, the more risk you take. This is not abad thing at all. You will most likely be the winner in the long run.Yes, finding affordable health insurance is much easier than most people think.Taking more of the risk with higher deductibles, spending a little time on the internetcomparing eight to ten different companies, and deleting coverage that you will not likely need(such as maternity for many folks) will make it very possible to find your own affordable healthinsurance.Title:The Four Keys to Excellent HealthWord Count:502Summary:抯Your healthy functioning body is the most valuable material asset you possess.

Article Body:抯Your healthy functioning body is the most valuable material asset you possess. It the firstthing of value given to you when you enter this world and you owe it to yourself to value it andincrease its functioning value. Today I will give you 4 keys to progressively creating a healthybody and life for yourself so that you can enjoy life to the fullest.揂Key #1 ?Think Right: s your mind flows so your life goes.?Meaning - your life is a productof the thoughts you think, which leads to the actions you do, which then creates the results yousee. Someone who is 400 pounds overweight cannot loose 100 pounds per year if they continueto think that they must have a pound of ice cream every day to be happy. Clearly the key tochanging this ingrained habit pattern is to progressively change that way of thinking to one thatwill produce right habits/actions and thereby producing the desired results.抳Key #2 - Eating & drinking Right: Consuming the right foods is also very important. Manypeople find this hard to do because they e long formed improper eating habits that can be veryhard to change without assistance. How would you rate your eating habits? Understand thatyour body is a living organism that uses the food you consume to recreate itself. Before a celldies it reproduces another cell from the food you are currently consuming. So consider this: Ifyou had the choice would you create your body from the nutrients in the food you areconsuming right now?抰Key #3 - Resting Right: Rest = Restoration. Makes sense, doesn it? While exercise andmovement are essential for stimulating circulation and the elimination of toxins, rest and sleepprovide an opportunity for the body to cleanse, repair, and rejuvenate on a deep cellular level.Nourishing your body with plenty of healing sleep and rest is essential for becoming whole.抦Key #4 - Being Happy every day: Now, some people would consider the possibility of BeingHappy every day to be impossible but I here to tell you that it is possible. YES IT IS! How?Well for starters I recommend that you smile for at least one minute as soon as you get up each抰morning. It doesn matter if your life is totally upside down - smile anyway. There are many抰benefits to smiling that I won go into here but from a body chemical standpoint it does thebody well. Secondly, I recommend that you smile and say HI to as many people as you canthroughout the day. Just these 2 tips alone are enough to improve your mood and outcome in揌life significantly.
