Everyone love to have a healthy lifestyle. If you’re reading Health & Wellness Magazine, chances are you’re already engaging in a healthy lifestyle. But a healthy lifestyle also includes being an active and informed member of your health care team. If you or someone you love is sick, find out as much as you can before you even set foot in the doctor’s office or hospital. Generally, the time you get to spend with a health care provider is very limited so take that time to ask questions, and if you don’t understand, ask again. No matter how insignificant your questions may seem, they could mean the difference in a diagnosis or even the prevention of an error in your care.
Health & Wellness Magazine would like to do its part in helping you become an informed consumer. And we’re accomplishing that goal by bringing you information. For example, did you know that besides non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer found in women? That’s a pretty timely fact considering October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Get involved by reading, asking and engaging. After all, taking part in your own health care is all about information. And so is Health & Wellness Magazine. If you’d like to hear about a specific topic or event in the Bluegrass, please let me know. You can reach Kris Martin, Editor of Health & Wellness Magazine at whosyouraudience@yahoo.com
