I accept the fact that overall we are working without an economic plan. Forward direction into the unknown does not seem positive. &lt;br/&gt;Mainstream media is over-hyping this current economic "crisis", plus like you, I personally have experienced and know others experiencing a dramatic change. Society, will again need to shift into new professions and advance. History clearly reveals what will happen in the very near future. Americans and the American economy will grow stronger. We are at the beginning of our greatest economic growth ever. &lt;br/&gt;What I encourage you to do is research and discover wellness.&lt;br/&gt;You will be pleasantly surprised, as I was to discover the newest industry born of the 21st century - Wellness.&lt;br/&gt;A new trend in the economy has already began. Like the internet before this. (The internet industry began in the early 1990's at the same time as our last economic "crisis") The current economic situation will not stop the wellness industry, it will increase, driving this new wellness industry. &lt;br/&gt;Wellness is the next natural step forward in our destiny and in the advancement of humankind. &lt;br/&gt;A recent phone conference with my personal associate Hans DeVenter in El Cajon, Ca. Hans had met with his financial advisor last week. What Hans is experiencing is that frustration of the unknown, is this going to end any time soon? &lt;br/&gt;"I'll keep my faith in God," Hans goes onto reveal, "I am really upset about all this too. I am mananging a difficult personal situation and now I need to financially adjust my life. I could use some wellness, right about now." &lt;br/&gt;We could all use some wellness, right about now!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for reading this. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;With God, &lt;br/&gt;Joseph Anthony Puglise</summary><published>2008-10-22T10:38:45Z</published><updated>2026-04-18T02:25:37Z</updated><author><name>JoeP</name><uri>https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep/blogs</uri><email>support@wellness.com</email></author><link rel="alternate" href="https://www.wellness.com/blog/21202/right-about-now/joep" /></entry><entry><id>uuid:cca40c6a-28f2-4b13-a9b1-7e33935b346e;id=177497</id><title type="text">Cardio Wellness</title><summary type="html">&lt;a href='http://www.wellness.com'&gt;Wellness.com&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/blog/21201/cardio-wellness/joep'&gt;Cardio Wellness&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep'&gt;JoeP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you're thinking, "How can I do this each day?" don't worry. You'll be surprised by the variety of activities you have to choose from. To meet the guidelines for aerobic activity, basically anything counts, as long as it's done at a moderate to vigorous-intensity for at least 10 minutes at a time. Get a sweat going! &lt;br/&gt;Given the wellness benefits of regular physical activity,  why is it, two out of three Americans are not physically active.  &lt;br/&gt;Many technological advances and conveniences that have made our lives easier and less active, many personal variables, including psychological factors, may affect our plans to become more physically active. &lt;br/&gt;It is not too late to start.&lt;br/&gt;Invite friends and family to exercise with you.&lt;br/&gt;Plan social activities involving exercise.&lt;br/&gt;Schedule times in the day or week when you feel energetic. &lt;br/&gt;Convince yourself that if you give it a chance, physical activity will increase your energy level. &lt;br/&gt;I did just that and I am grateful. At the very least I walk 30 minutes a day outside. &lt;br/&gt;My newest FUN activity is to jump rope. I did it when I was a kid. It sure is different now. I'm having fun with it! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now that you have the time, make regular physical activity a part of every day. &lt;br/&gt;Thank you for reading this.&lt;br/&gt;With God, &lt;br/&gt;JoeP&lt;br/&gt;</summary><published>2008-10-10T14:36:35Z</published><updated>2026-04-18T02:25:37Z</updated><author><name>JoeP</name><uri>https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep/blogs</uri><email>support@wellness.com</email></author><link rel="alternate" href="https://www.wellness.com/blog/21201/cardio-wellness/joep" /></entry><entry><id>uuid:cca40c6a-28f2-4b13-a9b1-7e33935b346e;id=177498</id><title type="text">Why Wellness?</title><summary type="html">&lt;a href='http://www.wellness.com'&gt;Wellness.com&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/blog/21200/why-wellness/joep'&gt;Why Wellness?&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep'&gt;JoeP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For the past three decades the pharmaceutical industry has promoted products that treat the symptoms of disease rather than cure or prevent disease, creating customers for life.&lt;br/&gt;90% of the medications Americans take are maintenance drugs. &lt;br/&gt;The Obesity rate is currently rising. &lt;br/&gt;For the past three decades the fast food industry has done very well, financially. Fast food is no longer fun, it is wrong. &lt;br/&gt;Both industries account for an increase in healthcare costs. Inpatient and outpatient hospital visits are normal?  I personally do not want to be a customer. I want to stop being that customer.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;There is no "drive thru" wellness. No "spray on" wellness. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There is a lot of wellness we do everyday, you need to know your wellness. &lt;br/&gt;Imagine all we do in each day and how you can associate that with wellness. &lt;br/&gt;Did you brush your teeth?

Wellness! &lt;br/&gt;Smile, Wellness! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Wellness is unlimited. Wellness is fun! Exciting!  Wellness is what a family does together. &lt;br/&gt;Wellness, you can do it alone.&lt;br/&gt;Wellness is simple, that's why. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ask yourself, Why wellness?

Plenty of high risk foods and beverages are available. Right now, I can enjoy a nice raspberry danish or a bagel with smear...Yummo! &lt;br/&gt;Wellness at work is not easy. Last week I received a premier issue of Wellness everday. After reading it front to back. I left copies in the break room. &lt;br/&gt;Share the information. &lt;br/&gt;Many of my coworkers are not ready to accept wellness as I have.  &lt;br/&gt;As I rapidly shift into wellness, some major obstacles are at work, where I spend over 40hrs a week. &lt;br/&gt;I'm sure you can think of many obstacles....each one of them is an excuse to not be in wellness...&lt;br/&gt;Pick one area and focus on that as your start. &lt;br/&gt;For me, I choose to not eat the junk food available. &lt;br/&gt;I bring my own fresh food.&lt;br/&gt;I have started wellness at work! It is automatic!&lt;br/&gt;Wellness is everywhere....&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The ones that scoff at "you and your wellness" now will eventually join us in wellness.....&lt;br/&gt;The wellness "Gold Rush" is going to happen, sooner than you think. &lt;br/&gt;How can you create Wellness at work? &lt;br/&gt;Make it fun! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for reading this,&lt;br/&gt;With God,&lt;br/&gt;JoeP&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; </summary><published>2008-09-02T09:32:40Z</published><updated>2026-04-18T02:25:37Z</updated><author><name>JoeP</name><uri>https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep/blogs</uri><email>support@wellness.com</email></author><link rel="alternate" href="https://www.wellness.com/blog/21199/wellness-at-work/joep" /></entry><entry><id>uuid:cca40c6a-28f2-4b13-a9b1-7e33935b346e;id=177500</id><title type="text">Liquid Meat. </title><summary type="html">&lt;a href='http://www.wellness.com'&gt;Wellness.com&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/blog/21198/liquid-meat/joep'&gt;Liquid Meat. &lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep'&gt;JoeP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As I discover  wellness, there is plenty of room for improvement in our diet. The first major decision in our home was to eliminate "liquid meat" known as milk. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Do you recall the milk mustaches of yesteryear? I do, it sure looked fun and what child wouldn't want a milk mustache...with a smile. &lt;br/&gt;Turns out, the economics of milk  and milk by-products to the ADA was much more important. &lt;br/&gt;We were deceived. &lt;br/&gt;Several recent studies reveal drinking milk is more likely to cause osteoporosis. Far more concern is the fact that "liquid meat" contains hormones and carries diseases. &lt;br/&gt;The worst thing about mass produced dairy products is not the disease, but the torture for the cows involved. Milk production is also terrible for the environment. More waste produced than milk.&lt;br/&gt;Where does the waste go? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Research reveals that dairy products are a major cause of our population being overweight. &lt;br/&gt;Of course, with all food consumption moderation is necessary. &lt;br/&gt;One 12oz glass of milk contains as much fat as 8 strips of bacon, "liquid meat" &lt;br/&gt;Research for yourself....there is much more to this than I will write. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We began last week consuming soymilk, " vanilla" is in our refrigerator. The kids like it. This is a major step as we evolve into a wellness family. &lt;br/&gt;I encourage you to seek wellness in your diet. Try with one item and when your ready take another step forward into wellness. The feeling is automatic! &lt;br/&gt;Thank you for reading this. &lt;br/&gt;God Bless you! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</summary><published>2008-08-27T12:33:19Z</published><updated>2026-04-18T02:25:37Z</updated><author><name>JoeP</name><uri>https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep/blogs</uri><email>support@wellness.com</email></author><link rel="alternate" href="https://www.wellness.com/blog/21198/liquid-meat/joep" /></entry><entry><id>uuid:cca40c6a-28f2-4b13-a9b1-7e33935b346e;id=177501</id><title type="text">Create Wellness time</title><summary type="html">&lt;a href='http://www.wellness.com'&gt;Wellness.com&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/blog/21196/create-wellness-time/joep'&gt;Create Wellness time&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep'&gt;JoeP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Like you, I lead a busy life. Wish there was 29 hours a day? So do I. What we do with our day is very important. Time is a resource you cannot purchase. &lt;br/&gt;As you adapt an improved lifestyle with wellness, it is essential you, create wellness time. &lt;br/&gt;Here's a few simple steps to consider....&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;30-60 minutes a day for wellness. &lt;br/&gt;What's working for me right now is 30 minute walk in the morning with, Jack, our dog. Then 30 minutes at night reading and relaxing.  &lt;br/&gt;An ounce of prevention = a pound of cure. &lt;br/&gt;Wellness is about being proactive. Choose Wellness!&lt;br/&gt;Roadmap to wellness. &lt;br/&gt;Your success will require you to overcome obstacles in the road. Fear, bullies and finances are major obstacles to hurdle over. Once we eliminate the fear with education we gain strength to walk right past the bullies. Wellness is not expensive. You are priceless. Your children, priceless. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Create your Wellness time! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Once you start it is Automatic. The feeling is phenomenal. &lt;br/&gt;Thank you for reading this. &lt;br/&gt;God Bless you! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</summary><published>2008-08-21T15:42:32Z</published><updated>2026-04-18T02:25:37Z</updated><author><name>JoeP</name><uri>https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep/blogs</uri><email>support@wellness.com</email></author><link rel="alternate" href="https://www.wellness.com/blog/21196/create-wellness-time/joep" /></entry><entry><id>uuid:cca40c6a-28f2-4b13-a9b1-7e33935b346e;id=177502</id><title type="text">Live with Wellness</title><summary type="html">&lt;a href='http://www.wellness.com'&gt;Wellness.com&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/blog/21197/live-with-wellness/joep'&gt;Live with Wellness&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href='https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep'&gt;JoeP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Last Saturday, my son Joshua jumped off the diving board for the first time at the pool. He is 8 yrs old. As we spent the next hour jumping off the diving board together, I reflected upon his progression in the water. &lt;br/&gt;We taught him to blow bubbles in the water, two weeks later he is swimming halfway across the pool. Next,  jumping into my arms and now the diving board.  &lt;br/&gt;He was so excited to tell his Mom and everyone else, that he can "Dive" off the diving board! &lt;br/&gt;What a thrill for me, as you may imagine. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Consider with me, wellness. &lt;br/&gt;This Wellness industry is so new and exciting. &lt;br/&gt;I can look at my son's swimming history and realize I am on a similar path with wellness. &lt;br/&gt;It started with a phone call from my brother Curtis. Two weeks later I'm fully engaged in research of wellness.&lt;br/&gt;Here I am now taking my first dive off the diving board. &lt;br/&gt;It is a thrill to be able to share the information of Wellness with everyone! &lt;br/&gt;Living with Wellness + Clear priorites = &lt;br/&gt;Life with passion. &lt;br/&gt;Thank you for reading this. &lt;br/&gt;God Bless you! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; </summary><published>2008-08-20T11:35:31Z</published><updated>2026-04-18T02:25:37Z</updated><author><name>JoeP</name><uri>https://www.wellness.com/user/18686/joep/blogs</uri><email>support@wellness.com</email></author><link rel="alternate" href="https://www.wellness.com/blog/21197/live-with-wellness/joep" /></entry></feed>
