Everyone Wants to Feel Like a Million Bucks but…

A collection of US Dollars

First You have to Invest!

Many people complain about the ‘cost’ of healthy foods, fresh vegetables, supplements and proactive health treatments, like regular visits to the doctor or massages.  If you think of it as a ‘cost’, of course it’s going to seem like a burden to pay it.  So, don’t think of it as a cost.

Think of it as an investment. 

When you take that little bit of money out of your salary for savings, you don’t think of that as a cost or a burden, do you?  NO – because you plan to get it back eventually!  And that’s exactly how you should view an investment in your health.

What you spend now on healthy foods, supplements and proactive treatments, will be returned to you in the form of a higher quality of life, an increase in productivity and, maybe even money.

Healthy Bodies = Less Drugs and Doctors’ Bills

Think of it this way – When you put $1000 a month towards your health by purchasing fresh, unprocessed foods, supplements and investing in proactive health care, it’s possible that you will save money in the future on medications or treatments.

Costs of commonly-used medications

These are just the prices of the medications associated with common ailments.  Initially, they don’t seem too high, but when you think of compounding the cost every month for the rest of your life, AND including the doctors’ visits, it’s a bundle of money!

I’ve met so many people who feel trapped by their medical conditions and the rising cost of health care is not going to make it any better. 

How Does Massage Therapy Fit in?

For starters, massage therapy can help you to relieve stress. Chronic stress has been shown to have negative psychological as well as physiological impacts on the human body (Stress and Health, NIH).  Some other benefits include:

  • Improved sleep
  • Lower blood pressure

    • migraines
    • backaches
    • fibromyalgia
    • joint problems
    • surgery
    • arthritis
    • regular exercise
    • repetitive motion
    • tech neck

And it just feels good!
