Healthy Homes
or many years I have been involved in the building business, building supplies, mentoring younger and older people in home repair services, home renovations and home services referral network not to mention many years in radio and most recently webcasting on the internet teaching the listening and viewing audience the how-to, what-to, where-to, why-to and when-to and the who-to of home improvement. One thing that popped up and met me head on was my health and the fact that I was not getting any younger. Over the past half decade I have been faced with a number of health challenges and now that I have reached 70 I wanted to improve my daily lifestyle as I want to be able to continue writing editorials such as this, doing my webcast and other areas where I can provide information to the public.
From House Smart to Health Smart By: Shell Busey
It all came together when a good friend from past radio days introduced me to a program that is changing my outlook on living healthy. My wife and I were introduced to a health clinic exercise club and it has changed our lifestyle. First, to become involved we had to be referred by our personal Doctor who sent our files to the clinic so we could set up an interview to see what program would best suit our needs. This is where it dawned on me that there are a lot of home activities that not only get the job done but can also provide an exercise work out. A few examples would be to clean out the storage room, clean the kitchen, reorganize the crawlspace, rearrange the furniture, clean the closets, turn the mattresses, wash and or paint walls and yes cut the grass or shovel snow and the list goes on and on. Folks I am not trying to sound like a ‘do goody’ but you know getting off the couch and into an exercise program like a health clinic where your Doctor is informed of your activities really adds a new dimension to your lifestyle. Sometimes it takes a major surgery or a health scare to make people realize that it is time to slow down and smell the roses so take it from me folks don’t get in a rut, look ahead and say I will do those home improvement items and get some good exercise at the same time and remember I am here to help guide you through it. Let’s get into it folks and “Live Well” and remember “It’s Just That Easy!”
