Cheaper To Treat The Obese

Is it cheaper to provide medical treatment for fat people? According to a report by the Netherlands’ National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, it is cheaper to provide medical treatment for fat people. The study sure is raising eyebrows because conventional wisdom says the opposite is true.

Ah, but that conventional wisdom doesn’t take into account that fat people don’t live as long and so do not suffer the complications of a long life. It costs a lot of money to treat someone who has lived a long life. This might include nursing home care that will last many years.

Ultimately, the thin and healthy group cost the most, about $417,000, from age 20 on. The cost of care for obese people was $371,000, and for smokers, about $326,000.

Lost My Eyeglasses, Again

I have been wearing eyeglasses on and off since I was in my early 20’s. I am supposed to where them all the time, but I am just not comfortable wearing them. Well, then I lose them. I can’t count how many pairs of eyeglasses I have lost. Ok, you are probably thinking that I should wear contact lenses, right? Well, I tried that. I can’t put the contacts in my eyes. I guess it’s time to buy a new set of eyeglasses.

Help Your Children With Acne

I have talked often about acne before. I think it’s a particularly difficult ailment for teenagers. They are very conscious about their own appearance and having acne and acne scars can be difficult for them to deal with. In fact, it can really hurt their self esteem. That’s why it’s important for parents to be aware of what their child is going through and be there to offer information on different acne treatments.

Start Harvesting Your Own Stem Cells
