The Power of Prevention: Optimize Your Health by Dr. Aimee Riegel. Optimal health is incredibly important, especially considering the pandemic era in which we now live. Consider this: investing in your wellness now will cost you MUCH less than paying for your illness later. As the CDC reports, more than 75% of America’s health spending is on people suffering with chronic conditions – which are the leading causes of death and disability. In fact, each year, 7 out of 10 deaths in the United States are from chronic diseases. While these statistics seem startling, there are small improvements you can make to improve your health and happiness. There are factors that will have an impact on your health: movement/physical activity, sleep, nutrition and stress management. In addition to discussing each of these topics, we will also discuss easy ideas to help you start making lifestyle changes for improved health and a better life.
