As one expert writes, "It's not easy to change bad habits and take responsibility for your actions, but you'll find that life is far more rewarding when you do" (Ferrazzi, 2008, pg. 29). According to Ferrazzi changing little things in your life like your diet and vitamin regime will help your body forestall the little injuries that affect us all and will also keep the body in a healthier state. Another writer also extols the virtue of listening to one's individual body. She writes, "Heed your inner mechanic and Matson's advice: "The path is finding out who you are within your own anatomy." (Eigner, 2006, pg. 46). In other words, find out what works best for your individual body and implement it. Eigner also says that this should be done in conjunction with doctor's advice, but that the holistic approach can be one that is less costly monetarily and physically. Whether the approach used is one that includes meditation, vitamins, a healthy diet and exercise. Or a combination of them all it is the method that provides the highest rate of return for the fewest changes in lifestyle. Concentrating on the little things that can holistically improve one's life makes sense not only for those people suffering from high blood pressure or high cholesterol, but for those catching the common cold as well. Improving life through the use of a holistic approach is one that makes sense and costs less in the long run.
When asked whether Americans can use these methods to improve their lives, one expert wrote, "If they are persuaded that meditation will contribute to their health, they may accept the idea of pursuing a contemplative activity within their daily lives (Stock, 2006, pg. 1760).

Further, Robinson and Sirard posit that applying a "Litmus Test" helps to identify the specific research questions, study designs, and methods that will most likely contribute to improving individual and overall population health (198).
