We live within a culture of fear that consistently tries to scare people into purchasing feel-better items.

Do you have an upset stomach?  Then try this.    Do you have a headache?  Then buy this.

But what if we’re a lot healthier than TV commercials would indicate?  What if we can actually prosper without a bursting medicine cabinet?

Insider recently ran an article titled “9 signs you’re in good shape – even if you think you aren’t.”  Its encouraging signs included the following:  “you can keep up with friends on a walk or jog,” and you can carry around a 20-pound child with hardly a strain.

There now, is that better?  As far as health is concerned, a little encouragement can go a long way.
