Everything You Need To Know About Serious Life-threatening Diseases.
Easy natural tools to prevent life-threatening diseases.
People are suffering for no reason with dangerous diseases that can be delayed or prevented entirely. There are five very serious diseases that can be prevented with the help of your primary care physician. MDVIP, the leader in the healthcare prevention model, is a group of affiliated primary care physicians who practice preventive and personalized medicine. Each MDVIP doctor extensively screens for health risk factors that can help prevent disease from occurring.
Coronary Artery Disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, stroke—Coronary artery disease is the number one killer of people in the United States and it is preventable. Stroke is the third leading killer of people in this country. There are three very important elements to the prevention of coronary artery diseases: nutrition, exercise and avoiding tobacco. By controlling your blood pressure you markedly decrease your chance of coronary artery disease and stroke. By controlling your fat intake and your weight you also decrease your risk of hypertension, heart disease and stroke.
Like it or not, it all comes down to having a healthy weight. Having normal blood pressure and cholesterol usually follow. It is essential to have an annual physical exam during which the doctor can check blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Careful monitoring by your primary care physician is critical along with a well laid out health and wellness plan can help set a patient on the right course.
Respiratory Diseases—Diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, some asthmas and COPD are preventable. Those who smoke are at the highest risk for respiratory illnesses. Some types of asthma result from manmade situations and can be avoided. Unsafe working and living conditions also can contribute to these diseases, including mold, pollen, dust mites, cockroaches and animal dander. Many patients have no idea that asthma symptoms can also come from food allergies like nuts, additives, certain sweets and dairy products. Careful testing and discussion with your primary care doctor can help to avoid an expensive trip to the local emergency room.
