I know I will be following this experiment closely. I hope we find
that potatoes are healthier than we think!
A caution to all my Diabetic and Overweight patients.
FLU
SHOTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE 
Flushots are fully covered by Medicare.
Flushots, while supplies last, are included as part of a
Traditional Wellness
Plan.
For everyone else, Flushots will be available for $30.
There are other ways to prevent the flu.
My favorite is to supplement with Vitamin D, which is now available
as our supplement of the month for October. Our Vitamin D
supplement has been shown to increase your blood level of Vitamin
D, increasing the ability of your immune system to fight off
infections such as the flu.
If you are unsure of your Vitamin D level, testing is also
available at our office.
Risks of our Western style diet
I have written before about the dangers of our Westernized
American diet. I have also written about the dangers of
Metabolic syndrome and how it leads to all forms of disease such
as Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Arthritis, and so on and so
on.....
Metabolic syndrome often leads to an increased in fat deposits
around your middle, and also your abdominal organs. It happens
to other species as well, if they are fed the wrong diet!!
I just finished
reading a short article titled,
Western diet linked with increased risk for metabolic syndrome
. They found that a western style diet
caused an almost 2.5x increased risk in metabolic syndrome.
If you do not
believe me, here is another article,
Metabolic syndrome doubles cardiovascular risk , which had
similar findings.
This is not good!!!
Fortunately you
can avoid Metabolic Syndrome and its ill effects. For advice on how,
please schedule your yearly Wellness Exam. During this consultation,
we not only help with your present ailments, if you have any, you
get advice on how to prevent illness and disease in the future,
especially Metabolic Syndrome. Special metabolic testing is
available to delineate your metabolic plusses and minuses, which
then allows for your individualized health and wellness plan.
The Institute For Medical Wellness goal is not just to treat
disease, but to prevent it from taking root in the first place!
Institute For Medical Wellness
Supplement of the Month:
Our supplement of the
month for October 2010 is
Vitamin D3.
I believe that Vitamin D3 aids our immune systems, which
helps protect us from the flu, or "influenza".
Our Vitamin D3
supplement, contains Vitamin D3, 2000iu per drop, and
contains approximately 900 drops per bottle. The average
dosage is between 1 and 4 drops daily, best taken at night.
Vitamin D3 can now be
purchased for $15, $5 off the regular price. Vitamin D works
great with or without a flu shot.
