Our level of income directly affects our health. Did you know

that? How much money you make helps to determine how healthy you

will be. Doesn't really make sense, if you don't' look at the

broader picture. In the big picture, however, here is the view:

you are educated, have a degree, and are exposed to tons of

information during your college years. You are exposed to health

classes, athletes, and all sorts of professional people who

already understand the importance of health in your life.

You graduate college, your income levels are quite nice, and

you have the opportunity to purchase magazines, health and

fitness of course. Can you see how your education and

intelligence levels affect your health now? This is a

generalization that has proven itself time and again. All you

have to do is observe your developed countries versus the third

world, underdeveloped countries.

Standard of living and health are directly related. Past the

consideration of intelligence development, our level of

education and income plays a tremendous role in our ability to

educate ourselves about the health options we should exercise.

Affordable fitness centers are one of the nicer privileges of

higher income. Most fitness centers provide their customers with

individualized weight and exercise programs that further advance

the customer's health.

Having higher income levels provides us with access to fitness

centers, better choices for our eating patterns, and better

medical care. It is in the final section of the previous

sentence that there is found a real benefit of higher income, in

direct relation to our health. Higher levels of education and

income almost always have access to better medical care. The

availability of better care, whether it is through better

company paid insurance, life in a metropolitan area versus rural

area, or simply being able to afford a more specialized doctor

when the situation warrants. In most cases, higher income

families live in more populated areas, with access to better

doctors and larger medical facilities. Often their employers

have nurses or doctors that are retained, if not on staff, as

emergencies warrant.

If the evidence presented above is not enough to satisfy your

curiosity concerning the role income plays in our health, take

the time to visit the US Census. This information is available

through the internet. There you will find all kinds of

statistics, from income averages in areas of the United States,

to education levels in those same places. Also available is

information related to the household. Check for yourself. You

can see a direct relationship in many areas of the country

between income levels and health statistics for that area.

It is sad indeed, that many of the people who are in the

greatest need are not able to get that need met. Socialized

medicine as been studied as a possible solution to our some of

our health problems, but when studied in detail, socialized

medicine really does not improve the level of health for the

population, it just makes medical care free and generally of

less quality.
