Dramatically reduce your medicals bills with one simple step by Dr. David Eifrig

A new study from Johns Hopkins University found that doctors order fewer lab tests during a patient's hospital stay if they realize the costs of the tests.

If you're a longtime Retirement Millionaire subscriber, you know doctors are notorious for overprescribing treatment.

One survey found $226 billion was wasted on unnecessary lab tests in 2011. And these tests aren't just wasting money. They're harming patients with overtreatment – exposing patients to unnecessary radiation from CT scans and x-rays and potential side effects of needless medications.

Even doctors think patients are over treated (about 28% of the time, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association).

The next time your doctor orders a test... make sure he explains exactly why the test is needed and ask him for the price. This may make him think twice before subjecting you to a test you don't need.

Finding Balance

As we age our sense of balance changes. Observing older people changing from a sitting position to a standing position, you will notice that they move tentively, especially those with a sedentary lifestyle.

Balance is very important to self-confidence and self-reliance regardless of age. Thus, practicing yoga has a wealth of benefits that improve your balance and improve your self-confidence.

If you are only willing to invest 30 minutes a week in your Health maintenance!

A new study compared two groups of men 40 to 75 years old that did 30 minutes a week of weigh lifting versus fast walking; both groups reduced their risk of heart disease by 23% versus 18% respectively.

While earlier studies have clearly demonstrated the advantage of aerobic exercise, if you only have time for one thing, lifting weights may be what you should choose.
