Many times people say that the poor have worse health because of their living conditions. This is true but I would also say that it also depends on the environment that you live in and how active you are in taking care of yourself. I say this because I saw a luxury home advertised and wonderer are they any healthier than the average American. They certainly have better access to health care and medicines than those with less money. But if you think about all the rich stars who are going into rehab I don’t know that are any healthier. Health is a state of mind and it is up to each of us to make our live better.

I am thinking of getting one for my van since chicks dig those who are in construction. I will just throw some two by fours up there and see where that gets me.
