DSC00549Clothing 2013 Jul 2007, Towanda, Grace (2)Jul 2007, Towanda, Grace (14)In elementary school I learned that we all need food, clothing, and shelter.  These are basic needs, which can be met in many different ways.  Let us just look around, and confirm this.  there are so many ways that these have been provided in different places and around the world, some simple, some less so, but basic needs are always the same.

 

Health Is Something Everybody Needs

 

One thing we can all agree on is that we each need as good health as possible, no matter the demographics to which we belong to individually.   We, who live in the United States today, have emerged from populations, which have lived in different places, and brought to this nation many different traditions for maintaining ourselves and our healths.  On top of this, modern living has imposed some new changes, so we have diversity of practices from different times and places.  As time goes on, we can evaluate how healthy they are.  For instance, many of us buy antimicrobial soaps, to the extent that some are now saying that we live in too clean an environment for the proper growth of our immune systems.  Many of us consider health every day in everything we do, because it is so important.  Many venues make comments on this topic.
