Take Back Control of Your Health!
The principle of Dr. Mozingo and Wholistic Doctors United revolves around the empowerment of our patients to take back the control of their own health.
As you take control of your own health, there are a few tools that you will need to keep track of a few basic health functions. As you go through the New-Start Solution, your health will make many changes and you should track the changes. Here is a list of some of the tools you should have: 1. Blood Pressure Monitor- This can be found in most pharmacies or on Amazon. You can record your blood pressure each day, but make sure you test it at the same time every day. Maintaining healthy blood pressure is important for your overall health. 2. Bio-Impedance Weight Scale- You can use any digital scale to test your body weight, but new technology has allowed us to further monitor our body chemistry. Using an impedance scale, you can track your body fat percentage along with your body weight to ensure you are making the right diet choices. Try to track your weight each morning after you wake up, before your first meal. 3. Temperature Thermometer- You can get a nice thermometer from Amazon that is digital, fast, and can read your temperature from your forehead. You can track your body temperature to help monitor your body's metabolic rate. You should take your temperature every morning before you eat or take a shower. 4. Blood Sugar Tester- A digital blood sugar tester and the test strips can be purchased at any local pharmacy. Making sure your blood sugar stays within a healthy range is a very good way to understand how your food intake can affect your health. You should try to take your blood sugar each morning in a fasted state. 5. Clothe Tape Measure: Taking measurements of your arms, midsection, thighs, and neckline are good indicators of body fat reduction. Sometimes we can focus too much on the scales readings and when we plateau it can cause frustration. Keeping track of these factors of your own health will help you build confidence that your diet and lifestyle will affect your overall health status. As you work with Wholistic Doctors United, you will love the freedom of controlling your own health. |
