Your health: Get out, get active!
Summer is a perfect time to get outside, get active and enjoy the sun-
shine. That’s why in this issue we are focusing on smart ways you can do
just that. Check out how you can share healthy habits with friends and
family (page 6), tips to stay safe throughout the season (page 10), and
how you can reap the benefits from homegrown food (page 14).
However, being smart about your health sometimes means having a
heart-to-heart with yourself and your doctor. Read about Lee and Beverly’s
life-changing heart surgery experiences (page 4) and about why spotting
lung cancer early (page 13) can make all the difference.
And when you are unsure as to what type of doc-
tor you might need, refer to our handy guide to
specialists (page 8).
Health care can get confusing, and
sometimes it feels like there is everything
under the sun to learn. But taking simple
steps and making smart choices can
make a huge impact on your health.
