I believe that the concept on wellness is different for everyone but during my years as a nurse and a nurse practitioner in primary care I have concluded that wellness means living well to the end of your days.  This includes being kind not only to your body but also your mind – treat yourself like you would a close friend.  Taking the steps now to make those healthy changes that can be impactful later.  Through out this section of the blog I will provide information that will help prevent chronic diseases, discussed health topics and share some fun recipes.  As always I have the belief that a person knows their body the best – so take the information that speaks to you and leave what does not.  This is the only house you will ever live in so let’s care for it the best we can.
