Many experts from throughout the region came together to provide health tips and advice. I sincerely appreciate their taking the time and effort to share their knowledge and experience with Womeninc subscribers. Dr. Terry Knowles’ article stresses the importance of men providing an example for their children and grandchildren by “maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.” Women are also given valuable insight into breast disease on page 13. If you suffer from headaches, Monica Schugel, DC discusses types of headaches and their causes as well as offering insight into relief alternatives. In the article, “Desire to be Fit and Fabulous,” our cover woman Colleen Braun encourages us to recognize the importance of our health and well-being along with great advice on how to get started on a fitness plan. Colleen’s love for fitness is contagious. After meeting her, I felt renewed and ready to overcome my own fitness plateau and to challenge myself more when working out. Preventative medicine is becoming valuable as we strive to improve our physical and emotional health. There are several features that address the role of a healthy diet and regular exercise in medical care. While covering some common health care concerns and timely medical information, we hope this issue informs, assists and inspires you.
