Give Yourself A Valentine's Gift: Take Care of Your Heart!

Happy Valentine's Day! While you shower your loved ones with LOVE, show yourself the same level of caring by making your overall health and HEART a priority.

In this issue of our newsletter, Dr. Ney discusses heart health and how to diagnose heart disease. She breaks down the different cholesterol types and stresses the various factors, not cholesterol alone, that lead to heart disease. 

Speaking of sweets, Dr. Boston's article emphasizes how the coronavirus thrives off sugar and how decreasing sugar intake can increase your immunity against the virus.

And lastly, as more vaccines become available, we're gaining more control over the pandemic. But because the virus continues to cause havoc on your health and financial well-being, we must continue to be vigilant by taking every recommended science-proven precaution, such as wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing. Because even if you've already been vaccinated, there's the real possibility that you still can get infected and, in turn, infect others. 

Please remember that this not only about your belief system regarding vaccines. It's about your entire community, your elderly loved ones - and the frontline workers who risk their lives daily to make sure your needs, such as groceries and medical care, are met.

If you have questions or concerns about the vaccine, we are here to help. Please schedule an appointment with us to discuss your concerns.
