A Message from Manisha Kulshreshtha, MD
The concept of healthy living begins with mental health, and incorporating habits that improve health and wellness into your daily life. Making slight adjustments to a healthy diet, incorporating exercise into your weekly routine and promoting mental health will deliver amazing outcomes to you, our healthcare heroes and, in turn, your patients.
Opportunities to make these adjustments come in big and small sizes, such as joining a gym, beginning group exercise classes online or in-person, stretching on your own or walking more each day. More exercise is best supported by eating more healthy foods as part of your regular meals. These small changes can add up to big differences in your body’s health over time and strengthen the positive transformation in your mind and body. Improving your body’s health improves your mental health, and improved mental health encourages you to improve your body’s health.
These healthy habits are best supported and reinforced in partnership with your primary care physician. Building a strong relationship with your primary care doctor means seeing him or her when you’re feeling good, not just when you’re sick, including an annual health assessment to ensure you receive the necessary screenings and care to keep your mind and body healthy.
