Message from Dr. Nina: Your Health is Your Wealth

Kodjo

The holidays can be a stressful time trying to buying gifts and all the planning that incurs. Taking time to appreciate the things in life such as your health and lifestyle choices really matters. Medical studies show that even though a person may have a chronic medical condition, like Diabetes, Hypertension, Sickle Cell Disease etc., they can still improve their overall health outcomes. People who participate in comprehensive lifestyle modification programs experience clinical

meaningful improvements in their overall health & wellness. That means, take a step forward by scheduling a yearly Wellness Exam for a Preventative Maintenance check-up. Radio Personality, Tom Joyner is an advocate for the “Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day.” Health Economists state that protecting yourself against illness and disability is one of the most important financial investments you can make during your life. When problems are addressed in a timely manner, long-term health outcomes improve drastically.

All the best, Dr. Nina
