Cores of good health 🌹
1.Medical
It’s important to establish and maintain a relationship with a primary care provider who will partner with you to help you understand your specific medical risks and assess your general state of health. Preventive care is of the utmost importance in staving off health consequences of untreated chronic medical conditions. And effective identification and management of chronic medical conditions is just as important. By getting the right health services and testing, you are not only improving the longevity, but also the quality, of your life.
2. Fitness
Regular exercise helps keep your body mass index in a healthy range, decreasing the chance that you will suffer from heart disease or diabetes, while also combating depression, osteoporosis and dementia. Exercise is a key component in the management of high blood pressure, joint and muscle diseases, and relieving stress. Physical activity keeps both the body and mind strong, which is why we begin by assessing your current level of fitness and working with you to set activity goals.
3. Sleep
Sleep serves as the main support of the immune system and is absolutely essential for the body and mind to function normally. The average American gets about 6.7 hours of sleep per night, and research would tell us that we need closer to 8 hours. We work with our patients to identify any health problems that may be affected by inadequate sleep and develop specific strategies to alleviate these issues so that they get the most peaceful and restorative sleep possible.
4. Nutrition
The average American diet is highly processed, and many of the essential nutrients our bodies need are stripped away during packaging. Fatigue, migraines, insomnia, gastrointestinal disorders and even some cancers are now linked to poor diet. It’s important to bring it back to the basics. We can help you develop a new way of eating that not only improves your overall health, but is also fun, easy and delicious.
