Don't Make Your Weight Loss Journey Alone
You are likely already familiar with the statistics, but at least the broad strokes bear repeating. Heart disease, a condition that is linked to obesity, is the leading cause of death in this country. Heart disease along with other related complications are all similarly preventable, and it all begins with weight loss. But one of the biggest obstacles is just how simply this step is spelled out by most who prescribe it. The key is that it is not just one step, but a journey that incorporates the nutritional, physical, and mental. It is such an important journey that you should not embark on your own, and to succeed you should recruit your Valley Stream, NY, General Practitioner of North Woodmere Medical Care, Dr. Stacy Hausmann.
