How Nutrition Is the Cornerstone of Health in Integrative Medicine

Since Integrative Medicine takes a holistic approach to improving and maintaining health for the mind, body and soul, it would be appropriate to explore the role of nutrition in the whole body approach. Learning how to eat and for what types of health conditions nutrition can treat, it is essential to make the most of an Integrative Medicine approach to becoming and staying well. No matter what you are using Integrative Medicine to treat your body for your overall health, to manage inflammation, to support your body’s ability to manage its diabetes, to maintain heart health, and to promote a stable mood, through an Integrative Medicine approach, can have real results.

Eating for your overall health, perhaps the most important principle of Integrative Medicine, can be accomplished quite easily with some easy to follow principles. No matter what type of fruits and vegetables you eat, make sure they are in season, fresh and are grown without pesticides, antibiotics, hormones and other industrial agents. Eating as many colors and types of fruits and vegetables will ensure you are well protected against acute and chronic diseases. Whether fruits and vegetable are fresh or frozen, as long as you eat 8 to 10 servings per day, you will be served well.[i]

According to research, inflammation is becoming more widespread and is the culprit that causes many chronic and debilitating diseases. However, Integrative Medicine can help people reduce and manage their levels of inflammation, thereby reducing their chances of developing such serious diseases. Eating a balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates and fats is recommended. Variety really is the spice in your diet and is great to manage inflammation. Along with eating a wide variety of naturally colored fruits and vegetables and minimizing exposure to processed foods and toxins on and in foods, eating oily fish or taking fish oil supplements helps combat inflammation.[ii]

Integrative medicine, through its holistic approach, has a nutritional approach, along with medication, to help your body naturally manage its diabetes. With a 40-30-30 ratio of non-starch vegetables, lean protein and high fiber fruits and low-glycemic fruits respectively, the Integrative Medicine approach to supporting and not-stressing out your body while have a condition such as diabetes is very effective.[iii]

Eating to maintain your heart’s health is very essential because it provides blood which provides oxygen and nutrients to the rest of your body. Along with the theme of eating naturally through fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, nuts and oil (organic, when always possible), it is essential to make healthier choices when it comes to drinks, snacks and basic staples. Some examples of replacing poor heart healthy choices for better food choices includes: using flavorful herbs and spices instead of salt; replacing beer and spirits with red wine (in moderation of course); and replacing white bread and bagels with pita or sprouted bread.[iv]

Along with eating properly to maintain and support one’s organs and cardiovascular system, Integrative Medicine has not left out nutrition when it comes to supporting ideal mental health. Building on eating well through natural, organic and minimally processed foods, there are some specific recommendations to promote an even and healthy mood through nutrition. Specific suggestions include not skipping meals, eating foods to stabilize and minimize swings of blood sugar levels, increase consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, stay away from caffeine, minimize or avoid alcohol and ensure you have normal levels of necessary vitamins and minerals.[v]

As you can see, nutrition in the Integrative Medicine approach, is very integral to supporting both the physical body and the mind. Taking a serious approach to your nutrition will enable you to support your overall health. With advice from your Integrative Medicine practitioner, you will be able to maximize your health by becoming and staying well.

Why is it Important to Promote Your Business on the Internet?

No matter what type of business you have, it is very important to promote your business on the Internet. Whether you are just starting out, are a medium size company or you are a multi-national company, promoting your business on the Internet can very well make or break its future. The following article will give you countless reasons why it is so important to promote your business on the Internet.

One of the most important reasons to promote your business on the Internet is because you are able to expose your business to a much wider audience across town or across the world. For example, as of March 2011, statistics show that as many as 2 billion people across the globe have access to the Internet.[i] This figure is more than a year old; therefore, there are probably many more people online now. Since you are able to reach 2 billion or more people around the world and market your product(s) or service(s) to them, you will almost certainly increase your sales.

Other important reasons to promote your business on the Internet include giving your business the ability to connect and market your business’ services and/or products to the world. Promoting your business on the Internet allows you and your business to find clients that have a use for your product(s) or service(s). The Internet allows you to network with established contacts and find new clients to grow and expand your business.[ii] Along with connecting with existing and new clients, putting your business on the Internet enables you to market your product(s) or service(s) to known and unknown customers. The Internet enables you to create web pages, advertise electronically, utilize e-mail marketing and connect with clients all over the world over the Internet.[iii]

It is important to promote your business on the Internet because you will be able to target demographics, niche markets and pinpoint markets relevant to your business. No matter what age range, sex, income level or whatever demographic you are attempting to target, the Internet reaches virtually all demographics.[iv] An Internet marketing expert could not have said it better, “The demographic of the WWW user is probably the highest mass-market demographic available. Usually college-educated or being college educated, making a high salary or soon to make a high salary, it’s no wonder that Wired magazine, the magazine of choice to the Internet community, has no problem getting Lexus and other high-end marketers advertising. Even with the addition of the commercial on-line community, the demographic will remain high for many years to come.”[v] Since the Internet is so expansive and continues to reach more people every day, it will only become easier to reach more potential customers for whatever niche your business is targeting.

Promoting your business on the Internet enables your business to have a virtual testing market and near instant feedback on your service(s) or products. The Internet allows you to run advertisements on both traditional web pages and mobile web pages. Unlike traditional advertising which requires days, weeks, if not month for feedback, online marketing enables near instant feedback. The feedback can even be automated. Along with testing advertisements, your business can also get feedback much sooner and much easier than spending time with your existing employees. You will be able to learn all about your products and see what works and what needs to be worked on.[vi]

Take a look at the following chart to see how the Internet might impact your business:

 

Image Source[vii]
Based on the chart, you can see that promoting your business on the Internet is highly important because the majority of its users are well off, cover a wide variety of age ranges, both sexes, incomes levels and are highly educated. No matter what type of service(s) you provide or product(s) you sell, you have an equal chance of reaching either gender because both men and women use the Internet at an 85% usage rate.[viii] You won’t have to worry about potential customers having enough money to spend on your product(s) or service(s) because virtually everyone in the highest income group, those making $75,000 or more annually, use the internet. Respondents in lower income brackets use the Internet almost as much with the $50,000 – $74,999 and the $30,000 to $49,999 income brackets having usage rates of 93% and 90% respectively. Even those in the $30,000 per year income bracket have a 75% usage rate.[ix]
Therefore, as you can see, it is highly important to promote your business on the Internet whether your business provides general or specific services or products. These demographics show that you will be able to reach men, women, along with young and mature customers and people with disposable income to purchase your products or use your services. As you can see promoting your business is very important. These are just some of benefits of promoting your business on the Internet. Since the Internet is growing, expanding and always changing, the benefits of promoting your business on the Internet will keep growing with it.
So if you are a Plumber, Electrician, Attorney, Photographer or own your own business and need customers to find you in Google and you are located in California, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New Hampshire we are your Internet Company of choice.

Obamacare: How the Obamacare and Its New Taxes Trample upon Americans’ Liberty

 

Recent reports have noted how The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) also known as Obamacare will penalize workers who don’t have health insurance through a federal tax penalty.[ii] Axiom Administrative Services believes the new federal health care law, through its increased taxes upon businesses and individuals and its individual mandate, is trampling upon the freedom and rights of American citizens to choose their own health and keep more of their hard earned money. Axiom Administrative Services would like to get your opinion on how the new health care law will impact your health care options, ability to earn a living and make your own health care decisions.

Along with opponents of President Obama’s new health care, its supporters have no problem pointing out its flaws.[iii] According to David Gamage, a self-described Obamacare supporter and staff writer for the Wall Street Journal, feels Obamacare has bad provisions in it. He believes, as the law currently stands, will create unneeded costs for the average working American.[iv] He believes the law dis-incentivizes workers from taking higher paying full-time jobs because the law removes tax-payer subsidies by doing so, “Consider a low-income American supporting a family of four deciding whether to take a part-time job that pays $36,000 a year or a full-time job that pays $42,000 a year. According to my research, accepting the higher-paying job could result in the family losing over $10,000 a year in health-care subsidies.”[v] David Gamage’s quote and research shows many groups get hurt by the new health care law. First, the family of four does not have much incentive to work harder to make $6,000 more a year when they would lose a subsidy of $10,000 per year. Taxpayers lose out because they have to pay for the family’s $10,000 subsidy.[vi]  Businesses also lose out because as more workers become part-time versus full time, they lose their stable labor pools provided by full-time jobs with benefits. Additionally, hiring managers report that overseeing a part-time staff incurs more costs and unseen problems which reduce a businesses’ efficiency.[vii]

According to the Heritage Foundation, a Washington D.C. think tank, Obamacare is going to implement over 18 brand new taxes while removing hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare. Based on the following chart:

 

(Source:  The Heritage Foundation. Obamacare’s 18 New Tax Hikes [Web Page]. The Heritage Foundation web site. http://blog.heritage.org/2012/08/20/obamacares-18-new-tax-hikes/ Accessed October 31, 2012.

Specifically, the Heritage foundation sees 2013 as a notable year because this legislation cuts a large amount of funding from Medicare and raises taxes by quite a bit in 2013 alone, “Not only did the President and his partners in Congress take $716 billion out of Medicare to pay for Obamacare, but they also raise taxes by $836.3 billion to pay for it, with $36.3 billion hitting Americans in 2013 alone.”[viii]

There are other taxes that are and will impact employers and employees when Obamacare is further implemented. Regarding health savings accounts (HSAs) and flexible savings accounts (FSAs), this legislation severely reduces the number and type of medical products that can be purchased with funds from these accounts. For persons with HSAs who buy prohibited items with funds from these accounts will now incur a 20 percent fine on the purchase. After 2013, people with FSAs will only be able to deposit up to $2,500 per year, much less than previously allowed.[ix]  In order for health expenses to be deducted, expenses must be 10 percent of one’s adjusted gross income compared to 7.5 percent of one’s adjusted gross income before this legislation passed.[x] This threshold to deduct medical expenses has increased by one-third; therefore, this will undoubtedly impact millions of people and impact the take home pay of millions of people.

Perhaps the most disheartening and lasting effects of Obamacare is that it is in direct contradiction to President Obama’s promise not to raise taxes on families making less than $250,000 per year.[xi] Experts predict Obamacare is going to cost Americans jobs and future wage increases. According to the Heritage Foundation, health care “plans valued in excess of $10,200 for individuals and $27,500 for families”[xii] will have to pay a new 40 percent excise tax for such coverage. Through indirect taxes such as increased costs for medical devices, prescription and non-prescriptions medications because companies are simply going to pass on the costs from Obamacare to consumers, Obamacare is squeezing consumers from virtually every angle. Coupled with taxes on tanning services and similar services, the new federal healthcare is encircling American businesses and consumers leaving them with fewer and fewer options because prices will rise from direct government policies.[xiii]

As you can see from this analysis on Obamacare, once Obamacare is fully implemented, businesses, workers and consumers will be deluged with numerous taxes. While businesses can and often do pass on taxes to consumers in the form of higher prices and employers to their employees by not hiring or giving pay increases, consumers will only put up with so many tax and price increases.

Obamacare: Supposedly Increasing Insurance Coverage at the Expense of Workers’ Hours?

The 2012 September Jobs’ report lowered the unemployment rate to 7.8% after 114,000 full-time and 582,000 part-time jobs were created last month. This rate moved 0.3% lower from its 8.1% unemployment rate calculated from the August 2012 Jobs’ report solely because of part time jobs, not healthy grow of full-time jobs. [i] However, many people, including Jeffrey H. Anderson from the weekly Standard, believe that Obamacare’s employer mandated health care coverage, including its new definition of “full-time” for workers, is in large part to blame for the large number of newly created part-time jobs.[ii]

Delving more in-depth into the new mandate of Obamacare, one must look into the new definition of “full-time” created by the Obama administration’s recently passed legislation, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), to see why there are more part time jobs being created. Jeffrey H. Anderson of the weekly Standard points out that under Obamacare, employees working 30 hours or more per week are now classified as “full-time.” Since full-time employees, working for employers that have 50 or more employees, must have healthcare through the Obamacare mandate, employers who decide not to provide coverage or pay the fine, will create more part-time jobs in the future to get around this mandate.[iii] Therefore, one can directly blame Obamacare for more and more part time jobs being created with even fewer hours compared to a full-time being defined as either 35 hours per week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the traditional 40-hour work week.[iv][v]

Since Obamacare is creating a new class of part-time workers, it is fundamentally interfering with the relationship between employer and employee. It disrupts how businesses run their organizations and how workers interact within the labor market. Ed Morrissey, a writer at the website Hotair.com, points out how government intervention can be very costly to the market, “This is the problem with massive government interventions into markets.  They create perverse incentives, and force participants in markets to look for alternatives to the massive costs of those interventions.”[vi] What Ed Morrissey means by this quote is that Obamacare has forced unnecessary stress upon the markets.

He goes on to discuss how Obamacare’s intentional or unintentional creation of a class of part-time workers is detrimental to both workers and businesses alike, “Businesses usually prefer stable labor pools, and full-time status and reasonable benefits usually help provide that kind of stability.  As a hiring manager for years, I can tell you from personal experience that managing a part-time staff creates its own costs and headaches, much of which won’t be felt in the home office of a multiple-location entity like Darden.”[vii] He further discusses, “However, the costs may not outweigh the savings any longer derived from dumping benefits for workers — and that’s doubly true in a bad job market for workers.”[viii]

Based on this information, Obamacare’s 30-hour work week full-time status and the resulting class of growing part time workers show this structural change in the unemployment figures is directly and almost exclusively attributable to Obamacare’s contents. There is more disheartening news because according to Mike Shedlock, there are 8,613,000 people who are currently in part-time jobs but want to have full-time positions. This figure does not include the 582,000 new part-time jobs created in September of 2012.[ix] Based on these figures alone, and as Obamacare is going to be fully implemented fully on January 1, 2014, one could extrapolate that there we be more part-time workers and less full-time workers as time goes on.[x]

Based on the evidence presented here, it seems that Obamacare is not welcomed by many workers and many businesses and owners. Looking at the evidence presented here, you will see that the new full-time work week of 30-hours and the related health insurance mandate for full-time workers will make more and more companies contemplate whether they want to follow the law or shift their workforce more and more to a part-time staff. Based on everything discussed, Obamacare can certainly share some of the blame for the structural shift in the economy from full-time workers to part-time workers.

Now that we have covered the real and lasting effects of Obamacare, we would like to ask you the same question again. If you are a physician, where do you stand on Obamacare and the deleterious effects upon the economy, but more importantly the patients of America? You only have a few days to change the course of America and its health care system.
