Healthydaes looking after your heart



Heart Health Month		February 2007

Greetings!

The month February has been devoted to raising awareness of heart disease in the country. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death for both women and men in the country. It has surprised women to learn that heart disease affects one in two women in this country today. Contributing factors to heart disease are family history, overweight and obesity, diabetes type I and type II, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stress and sedentary lifestyle and smoking. Naturopathic medicine has the unique ability to affect many of these causes collectively through an individualized treatment plan. Studies have repeatedly shown that a change in eating habits and lifestyle changes can greatly impact many of these disorders. Let our team at Healthydaes and Dr. Jones help you make this transition to healthier heart. Take the first step and call the office to make an appointment for an initial assessment. .

Tip For the month

Dr. Daemon has devoted this year to learning to love yourself. We will have several articles and classes that are devoted to helping you explore ways to love yourself. During heart health month it is important to take a moment and assess your emotional heart health as well. Block out some quiet time in your month to sit quietly with some paper and pen in hand. Take a moment to write down activities that make your heart sing. What makes you smile, laugh and feel like you are soaring? Remember the sky is the limit. Write at least 10 items down on your list. Take a moment to think about how you can incorporate some of them into your life this year. There may be some things on the list you can incorporate into your weekly ritual there others maybe items that you have to plan into your month or year. For example, if you love going to the aquarium, when was the last time you went? Look at your schedule, pick an afternoon or weekend to make a trip to your local aquarium? Better yet, decide to go all out and plan a trip to Atlanta to see the new Georgia aquarium. It’s suppose to be one of the nicest in the country. The message is simple, to create excitement in your life by loving yourself enough to do something nice for you! As human beings we are all placed here to love ourselves and others. I’m just asking to you to actively love yourself by considering your heart’s desires as you are planning your life. After all you are worth it! Dr. Daemon

Testimonials

60 year old male with high blood pressure The plan that Dr. Jones put me on was easy to follow and it keeps the weight off. Not only did I lose 37 pounds in 6 months, except for the 10 days I was on a detoxification program, I was eating what I wanted and loving it. Rather than going on a diet, I was making those seemingly out of reach permanent lifestyle changes. My biweekly consultations with Dr. Jones was the difference maker that kept me on track as I changed enough bad habits that kept me from reaching my goal of 200 pounds over the last 30 years. For more than a month I’ve been eating and drinking what I desire and my weight is staying between below 200, even after celebratory calorie heavy dinners. They are treats rather than falling off the wagon. Dr. Jones program helped lower my weight and more importantly my blood pressure from 125/95 to 110/80. Checking in with her made me accountable for a better exercise routine and now it is second nature to me. - G. Singleton
