I hope you take every moment to soak up the summer and read up on recent health information. This way, you and your family are well-informed for the summer.
This month, we recognize National Men’s Health Awareness Month. Dennis Bova, page 4, says that Men's Health Month is a call to action. When men follow up with a doctor, they do much better. Men need to have health screenings and should focus on the essentials: exercise, sleep, nutrition and diet to maintain health.
Now that the weather has finally come around, we can’t forget to bring a water bottle when going outside to stay hydrated. Contributing writer Laurie Syring, on page 6, says National Hydration Day is June 23. She highlights the importance of drinking enough fluids to stay healthy and safe. She explores the best water tips and how much water intake you need to stay hydrated.
Contributing writer, Sister Karen Zielinski, asks an important question: Why does my doctor make me choose my medication? Doctors can give their patients some freedom to do research to make the best-informed treatment decision. Zielinski gives the reason why a doctor would allow patients to choose their medication, page 11.
