Healthy People TWENTYTWENTY

I'm not exactly sure what the main objectives are for Healthy people 2020, but I know that they all seem to be related to growth & aging, hospitals and Health promotion. All the newest things are:

• Adolescent Health
• Blood Disorders and Blood Safety
• Dementias, Including Alzheimer’s Disease
• Early and Middle Childhood
• Genomics
• Global Health
• Healthcare-Associated Infections
• Health-Related Quality of Life and Well-Being
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Health
• Older Adults
• Preparedness
• Sleep Health
• Social Determinants of Health

Most of things I would say are issues, and important ones to address. Recognition of some of these issues are what americans have butted heads with in the past. Knowledge is power woo wooo.. I still feel like people might think that some things are too personal to address and be brought to light, so a few issues may be ignored for the sake of a person not having to deal with it and Americans can sweep it under the rug for another decade. Fact is, that problems never go away until they are dealt with anyway so might as well make this decade for the better and start living healthier by 2020.

Something that I found useful and super important was the topic PREPAREDNESS. Americans aren't ready for a major catastrophe such as the Tsunami that smothered Japan. We just dont know what to do if a major disease breaks out and plagues our loved ones. America would be in a state of panic if War happened on our soil. So what Im sayin is that we need to practice and prepare for the worst things such as these and when they happen then we'll be ready. This would allow for faster recovery and less collateral damage.  

Eating out

Eating out has its ups and downs. I like going out to eat, especially with people that are fun to be around. What is really cool about going out to eat is that it fun and food all in one night, even though Im not supposed to connect emotions with food, I still associate a good meal with good feelings.  Another thing is that you don't have to clean up the kitchen when you get home, or do the dishes or other boring monotonous tasks of that nature.
Something that I could do without are the portion sizes, gee whiz! I can get full on a third of some dishes and make it lunch the next day. Most of my choices have a high lipid content so eating these meals close together makes me feel like a fatty haha. Oh well better choice next meal I always say. If the Fresh foods market could somehow cut down there prices by like half so I could eat and cook healthy, Then all would be right in the world. I might experiment with gardening if this keeps up.
