Remember the old TV commercial with a mechanic holding up a new oil filter while a car is towed into his shop and he says, "You can pay me now or you can pay me later," as he points to the disabled car? Well, there’s a lot of truth to that statement when it comes to our health, also.
    Like our cars, we chug along working, living and performing daily routines and habits; perhaps not fully cognizant of how we take care of ourselves. Many of us take our health for granted or feel we can continue unhealthy ways of life without consequences. We act as if we're bullet proof.
    However, you don’t have to be middle age to start thinking about and seeing what can happen to your health and physical abilities.

   High Cost for Neglecting Healthy Choices

    According to recent headlines, 75 percent of Americans will be obese by the year 2020. Our military is finding too many of its recruits grossly overweight. Type-2 diabetes is skyrocketing. We are failing to take care of ourselves and we'll pay for it later. Meanwhile, 50 percent of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are due to medical expenses. Talk about pay me later.

   'Sick Care' Drives Cycle of Poor Health

    Despite all the new billions of dollars in spending, health care may not materially improve in America. Why? Because it’s still based on a "sick care" system of treating disease rather than teaching people how to take care of themselves and prevent disease. There are few mentions of the term "prevention or proactive healthcare" in today's health system, where prevention almost always means detection rather than avoidance of disease.

   Being Proactive

    It is never too early to initiate a personal wellness program for yourself, your family and friends. The best

health care will continue to be the care you give yourself. ALTRUM provides a full line of all the essential nutritional supplements needed to become proactive in the quest for good health. The ALTRUM Core Nutrition Program recommends everyone start with one of the multis (DWI01, DNU01,DNS01 or DCC01), digestive enzymes (DEU01 or DES01) and essential fatty acids (DNO01 or DUO01).
    These vitamins and supplements supply the nutrients that are sorely missing from our daily diets. Other ALTRUM formulas can be added as needed (as presented in the ALTRUM Voice-Over Power Point presentations at http://www.altrumonline.com in the Dealer Zone). Exercise and proper diet also are essential parts of the equation to maintain a good wellness program.
    The bottom line is that you are the best caretaker of your health. By being proactive and including ALTRUM supplements in your daily living, you will be better able to maintain a healthy and energetic life. By investing in your health now, you won’t pay the bigger price later.

   How Stress Impacts Nutritional Needs

    Stress places additional demands on the body's nutritional needs because of fluctuating hormonal levels under stress, higher metabolism and a correlating increase in the way nutrients are used in the body. Therefore, providing the body with additional nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants during times of stress can support its ability to function.
