It is getting to be very obvious that we need to do something about the
health of America. We consistently rank near the bottom of industrialized
nations in terms of overall health. And the average American’s life expectancy
has recently gone down for the first time in decades. We lead the world in
obesity rates and chronic disease. In 2005 we spent over 2 TRILLION
dollars on health care, and that number is expected to rise to 4 Trillion by
2015. Kenneth Throp, the chairman of the Dept. of Health Policy and Management
at Emory University states, "75% of what we spend in this country is associated
with patients that have one or more chronic conditions…"
Chronic conditions are those that are most closely tied with lifestyle
choices, like diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and obesity. Dr.
Fagerstrom and I decided we need to help lead the way in helping to create
healthy lifestyles.
We are offering a way to get your health indicators checked to see if you are
at risk or may already have one of these chronic conditions. Included in this
check are:
Blood sugar levels
Blood Pressure
A lipid profile
HDL levels
LDL levels
Total cholesterol
And triglyceride levels in your blood
We are also offering a body composition analysis that will show:
Total body weight
Lean body mass
Body fat percentage
And fluid hydration levels
These tests will give you a baseline to map your health goals. Each of these
tests are offered for $30 each or the complete set for $50. These tests will
only take about 15 minutes to perform and all the results will be given to you
in a written report that we will review with you on a follow-up
visit. Don’t pass up this very important opportunity to get your health
indicators checked.
