The Market Wellness Doctor's Weekly Health Tip
Visit Dr. Matt in booth #74, near Dewey's Plaza
Lifestyle Matters. How we eat, move, sleep and manage stress has an enormous impact on health and longevity.
Health Tip #65: Consider Meditation before Medication!
Many medical doctors are now prescribing meditation before medication for many chronic medical conditions. The biochemical and physical benefits of meditation are now well documented and it is free of harmful side effects that are often present with many medications.
Meditation has been scientifically shown to lower blood pressure, decrease inflammation (an underlying problem in many of today's chronic disease), improve sleep, mood and digestion, while reducing stress.
Regular meditation can restore balance and heal your body. Ask your doctor about meditation before medication.
See you at the Market!
Be Well,
