Thinking about a dry January? Studies show that even one month without alcohol can lower blood pressure, improve liver health, and boost your immune system. https://lnkd.in/gaiDVG35

Janette, We appreciate the kind words. Being a true partner in your health is more than being a resource of information. Thank you for sharing your confidence in our team.

Stroke risk increases with age, but aging isn’t the only risk factor to consider. Stress can also increase the risk of an acute stroke event. In today’s world, stress and frustration are hard to avoid. Knowing the impact of stress on our bodies can help limit risk and provide motivation to address our cardiovascular health. https://lnkd.in/gqNw_Pw9
