Health and vitality are largely the result of Lifestyle choices that are available to all of us. In this Wellness Wednesday session, Robert Breakey, MD will lead an exploration of why and how optimal nutrition, moderate daily movement, high-quality sleep time, managing stresses and maintaining social connectedness can help support us in enjoying a long, healthy, fulfilling and productive life well into our elder years. Dr. Breakey will also discuss why the “Standard American Diet” along with a generally sedentary, stressful lifestyle are the root cause for the most common chronic diseases we see in health care settings every day. From this understanding also flows the good news: Most of these diseases-- including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, certain cancers and many others -- are very commonly preventable, and at times even reversible. Join us to learn how to “Add Years to Your Life and Life to Your Years”.
