A significant portion, if not a majority of poor health and mortality occurrences are well- understood and, sadly, self-imposed.

Putting "America First" requires that we look inward at our personal health choices. The human body is wonderfully created. That being said, it should not be forced to operate outside its normal and natural boundaries. Eat wholesome foods in proper amounts. Don't smoke. Don't over-eat.
