The best insurance is taking care. Exercising and eating right can help prevent sickness. An active body and mind benefits the soul. Health care works when the person cares about being healthy. If someone keeps fit and diets well, then the person should feel energetic.

Still, sometimes taking care is not enough. That’s why doctors and nurses make a difference. Health insurance makes finding a doctor easier. Make health a number one priority. Take care of life. After all, everyone has one life to live. Also, not everyone should go to the gym right away.

Too many gym memberships are wasted. Joining a fitness center requires proper timing. Don’t waste time. Don’t waste money. Health and timing go hand and hand. Next chance while on the treadmill, pay attention to the built-in clock. When cooking dinner you may set the timer on the stove. Oh yeah, add some vegetables to the recipe. No matter what, it is always a good time to get healthy.

Just be devoted and it will work. Having a positive attitude increases the likelihood of success. So, you have to get insurance; it is vital. As long as you have a pulse beat, you need insurance that you will have a heart beat. Have you ever heard that song it goes like… “Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah staying alive. Staying alive (x2). Staying Ali—ve!” Listen to the lyrics. Live the lyrics. Stay alive.

I like the song because the beat and the words are joyful. Taking care means so much to insuring your health. “PREVENTION IS THE BEST MEDICINE.” In other words, your choice to live healthier is better than a prescription. Statistics show Americans as a group are overweight.

Many experts say do not focus on the negative that is LOSING WEIGHT. Instead, focus on what is positive- getting the right size for you. Check to see if your insurance pays for personal trainers. Be ready to be pushed by your trainer, but understand it is in your best interest.

Before joining get as much information as you can. I cannot stress it enough, we need to eat right. Whether you shop at Whole Foods or the local grocery store, keep in mind what you are buying and putting into your body.

If you have to drink sugary drinks, because it is a habit, try to do it in moderation. Staying smart is the key. I have heard from the lips of health care officials; eating healthy matters more than exercising in terms of fitness and body weight. Everybody is different.

Some have a fast metabolism. Others have a slow metabolism. Know yourself- your body, mind, and soul. So, I say if it is said PREVENTION IS THE BEST MEDICINE, then PREPARATION IS THE BEST HEALTH INSURANCE. Take care.

Growing up, they said I was so funny that I should be a standup comedian. Whenever, I heard those words it was sometimes sarcastic. Well, now I take it as a compliment. It’s my calling card. Over the years, I have developed a fond appreciation of comedy. I crave comedy like Harold and Kumar crave White Castle.

How I came to love comedy

Have you ever seen MTV’s Beavis and Butthead? When I was a boy, I watched Beavis and Butthead religiously. Then, more shows like South Park and Family Guygot me, along with one million other teenagers, hooked. After reaching fifteen years old, I stopped watching cartoons and started watching: The Jamie Kennedy Experiment (JKX), MTV’s Punk’d with Ashton Kutcher and Chappelle’s show.

The Jamie Kennedy Experiment is creative, unique and different. I recommend that you go on a scavenger hunt and find a few episodes of Jamie Kennedy pranking people. Also, Jamie Kennedy made a movie at the peak of his fame called Malibu’s Most Wanted. It’s about a young white man acting “black.”

Punk’d is similar to JKX but more popular. Ashton Kutcher “punks” celebrities in this hidden camera television show. Although Ashton Kutcher got his big break on That 70’s show, Punk’d put him on the map by Hollywood Boulevard.

The next stop on Hollywood Boulevard is Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle is a top five favorite comedian of mine. Without a shadow of a doubt, Chappelle’s Show on Comedy Central is the best comedy show of my generation. His comedy is on the edge. He goes to places no one else ever will. He is as good as standup comedians come. His success is only limited by his potential.

Why Comedians Make the Best Pharmacists

“Laughter is the best medicine.” So, comedians are the best pharmacists. Comedy is universal in appeal. A funny face in New Zealand is just as funny as a face in Nantucket. Comedy is an art form and also a big business.

Pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars soothing people’s pain. Believe it or not, comedy can heal you. Recent studies show a correlation between laughter and health. Just crack a few smiles and your cold will go away.

So, comedians make the best pharmacists because they distribute the pills for your cure. Jokes are pills that comedians hand out to their patients. The audience members are the patients. They are waiting patiently for the right dose of comedy.

As I get older, I realize that the best comedians not only make a lot of money but they travel the world and live a fun lifestyle. Comedian George Lopez was intoxicated at a Canadian casino. This shows that there are downsides and upsides to the business. If comedy is easy, everyone can do it. Comedy is not easy. It’s hard.

Comedian Kevin Hart lives by the motto “Everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to put the work in…” His claim to fame is working harder than anybody else. His hard work has paid off because he is in a ton of movies.

My top three comedians are Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Dave Chappelle. Others such as George Carlin and Katt Williams round out my top five. I love comedy and I believe laughter is the best medicine, and comedians make the best pharmacists.
