Lyndhurst, Ohio - Last month has witnessed the history of the United States. For the first time in our 240-year-old woman, he won the nomination of a political party of the President. I am not politically inclined, but I can what Hillary Clinton understand. In his speech to the fans, Clinton said: "Thanks to you, we have taken a step, the first time in our nation's history that a woman be the candidate of our party to any girl that is great dreams - Yes, you can. what you want to be -. also President "
It was a time for me, and I'm sure many others who thought about women who have had a positive influence, us and how lucky we are that have been or remain a part of our lives.
My maternal grandmother, the matriarch of my family growing up, was someone who filled me with love and encouragement, until his untimely death. It is ironic that now help with the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute, a place that would live him a much healthier life that ended too soon.
My grandmother, she lived at a time when fashion was smoking, and unfortunately died of cancer connected at a very young age of 70, smoking 30 years in the next month will be when he died, but often think and know they would be proud of how the Wellness Institute is to help stop patients smoking, and ultimately prevent or reverse chronic diseases. I also know that it would have been an advantage, our Wellness participate Mrs week, an emotionally safe and friendly atmosphere for a dive in the week on experiences that enable women with knowledge, wisdom and optimal care of them, insight -Same.
Before I about the power of women-week wellbeing, there was an interesting article last month to discuss the awareness, knowledge and healthy habits to heart disease in women. Why focus on heart disease? It is still the biggest killer of women here and around the world. The fact that most of the risk factors associated with heart disease controllable and preventable disease makes this one of the most preventable causes of death worldwide.
However, heart disease is the leading cause of death in women worldwide, killing 8.6 million women per year. The work that we do in Wellness Institute is to educate our patients, to reverse or prevent this devastating disease - one that is avoidable if we focus on a healthy lifestyle. GPs are like me in an ideal position to raise awareness of the prevalence of heart disease, while the preventive measures offering directed by changes in the formation of healthy lifestyle.
