Editor, Health&Wellness Magazine
Dear Friends,
During February, we celebrate
Valentine’s Day, so it’s a good time to
think about heart health. In fact, it is
American Heart Month, so our issue
has a lot of interesting and helpful
information about the heart – how
it works and how you can keep it
healthy. New breakthroughs in heart
research and heart disease treatment
show promise, but much of the work
of getting your heart in shape is up
to you. The mantra continues to
be exercise more, eat a healthy diet
and stop smoking. We’re just a few
months into the new year so you still
have time to make a resolution to
take better care of yourself. We are
John A. Patterson MD, MSPH, FAAFP
Mind Body Studio
here to help support and encourage
you on your journey to Health and
Wellness.
