Halloween's over, but here's a statistic that could make anyone's hair stand on end: In the year 2000, annual health care expenditures in the U.S. totaled $1.31 trillion. By the end of the decade, that figure is expected to double, reaching a ghastly $2.6 trillion.

One of the best ways to slow spiraling health care costs is by keeping yourself as healthy as possible. Fitness expert Wayne Westcott has some good ideas on how to do that at MSNBC's Smart Fitness column.
