How well do you sleep?

Many times when I meet with new patients I ask about sleep patterns and am amazed at how many people do not get enough sleep, or good quality sleep. Without a great night's of rest, people's health is comprimised.

Sleep medications cause side effects that interfere with your daily activities so I am putting together a newsletter devoted to help you get a better night's sleep.

Look for our newsletter next week, or go to our website and sign up for it, so it comes to your inbox biweekly.

Until next time.........try to get some sleep ;)

It's in the produce!!!

Antioxidants for a Youthful Appearance

Those who continue to look young in their 50s, 60s, 70s , and beyond usually have learned many secrets and strategies for keeping themselves healthy and well. For the most part, those secrets are not found in the bottles, tubes, and jars whose sales account for many billions of dollars each year.

One key secret is eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. No one needed to be reminded of this 75 years ago. In those days produce was an essential dietary component. And for the most part the produce people age was grown locally. Today we have so many choices, not all of them healthful, and we need to be sure to eat produce that is fresh rather than packaged in cans.

Colorful fresh produce contains high levels of antioxidants, those small biochemicals that pack a big punch. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, naturally occurring end-products of metabolism that destroy cells and may even cause cancer if they're not removed promptly.


In short, antioxidants provided by fresh produce have all kinds of life-extending benefits!

For more information, look for our upcoming newsletter! Til next time.
