Spring is a wonderful opportunity to renew your commitment to good health. Here are five tips from Dr. Julius N. Ngu.
1. Schedule Your Annual Physical
A yearly physical lets Dr. Ngu check your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and BMI. Early detection makes a significant difference.
2. Get Moving Outdoors
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. A 30-minute walk five days a week reduces your risk of heart disease and stroke.
3. Refresh Your Diet
Spring brings fresh produce packed with antioxidants and vitamins that support your immune system.
4. Stay Hydrated
Aim for at least 64 oz of water daily. Proper hydration supports kidney function, digestion, and mental clarity.
5. Review Your Medications
Make sure you have enough supply and understand each medication. Never stop a prescription without consulting your physician.
