Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can protect you from obesity, heart disease and diabetes. But keeping up a healthy routine can be especially challenging around the holidays. Heck, even jolly old Saint Nick would be wise to take a few pointers from the folks at Hi-Desert Medical Center. Reporter Mike Lipsitz has the list. Probably all of us should check it twice …
While a mid-section that shakes like “bowlful of jelly” may be cute on Santa, obesity can spell heart and vascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea or stroke. Hi-Desert Medical Center suggests we lay off the sweets, hit the gym and consider a weight-loss program. Even getting out for regular walks can improve your health. The Hi-Desert Medical Center’s Diabetes Outreach Coordinator can help you get into a Diabetes Self-Management Program if you already have some of these challenges. And if you don’t but are at risk, they can assist you in setting up a preventative program.
