#479 Essentials for Highly Healthy People

Highly healthy people have certain things in common. You might be surprised to learn that one of the most important is forgiveness. For optimal health, you need to look beyond your cholesterol and blood pressure numbers to the state of your relationships and your outlook on life. Self-assessment and planning for a healthy balance are indispensable, but many of us spend more time planning for financial security than for good health to enjoy it. Managing your health prospectively might be the next step to take.
