We live in a fast-paced, fast-food world. Even though we have poorer health than ever before, thanks to pharmaceutical companies, we are also living longer. A recent study by AARP found that the recession is shocking the systems of baby boomers and they are having trouble adjusting financially. This is leading some to skip or cut back on prescriptions to make their medicine stretch. This decision will lead to compromised healthcare and drive up costs.
Baby boomers do have options. They can switch to generics. Some medication is not offered in generic form but any medicine that is offers savings to the consumer. Another option is to take part in any discount pricing offered by retailers like Wal-Mart, Target, and Walgreens. They could also buy medication online or from Canada.
The best option would be to change to a healthy diet, start an exercise program, and make sure they have good supplements to make up for any vitamins and mineral deficiencies. USANA’s Essentials are great vitamins to replace the missing vitamin and minerals we need for optimal health. The vitamin levels are higher than Recommended Daily Amount (RDA) which only provides the minimum amounts we need for good health. Visit USANA on the web.
