Healthy Halloween
Halloween is such a fun time! Dressing up, friends, fall, and best of all, TREATS! While getting treats is one of the most enjoyable parts of the holidays, it can come with some health hazards. Candy and sweet treats can make us feel sick, cause weight gain, and cavities!
Quitting Smoking
There’s a ton of information available about how to quit smoking, and how bad it is for you, so why is it so hard to stop? Most bad habits are really difficult to change because they serve some purpose in our life, most often a way to satisfy some need, developed over time.
May: High Blood Pressure Education Month
Hypertension, AKA High Blood Pressure, AKA “The Silent Killer”. If you think you might have high blood pressure, or if you have a family member who has been diagnosed and you have never been tested, please schedule an appointment with your primary care provider today!
Emotional Health
Mental health counseling can benefit people struggling with emotional difficulties, life challenges, and mental health concerns. In therapy, people learn to cope with symptoms that may not respond to treatment right away. Research shows the benefits of therapy last longer than medication alone.
February is American Heart Month!
Did you know that people who have close relationships at home, work, or in their community tend to be healthier and live longer? One reason, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is that we’re more successful at meeting our health goals when we work on them with others.
Holiday Management of Diabetes
Even when everything goes according to plan, the holidays can be stressful. We get out of our usual sleep and work patterns, we may travel, eat out more, attend parties, have house guests—all of which can disrupt normal routines and, consequently, may disrupt the management of diabetes.
National Chiropractic Health Month
National Chiropractic Health Month is a nationwide observance held each October. The event helps to raise public awareness of the importance of musculoskeletal health and the benefits of chiropractic care and its natural, whole-person, patient-centered, and drug-free approach to health and wellness.
Protect Yourself Against Flu
