Practice, Practice, Practice!
Become a wiser health consumer with RealAge’s daily tips and tools
San Diego, CA, February 28, 2008 -- Carnegie Hall it isn’t. But to live long and healthy
lives, consumers have to “practice, practice, practice” wise decision-making.
That’s the goal of February’s National Wise Health Consumer Month: Have consumers
develop the habits of educating themselves and making safer medical and lifestyle
choices every day.
Procrastination -- instead of practice -- often keeps
consumers from developing savvier health habits. That’s why RealAge.com, a
leading health and wellness Web site, sends a Tip of the Day to its almost 8
million members via e-mail. A bug in their ears, the constant and
easy-to-implement reminders are aimed at consumers who want to wise up when it
comes to their health.
RealAge maintains hundreds of health articles, health newsletters, and evaluation tools
that are available at consumers’ fingertips -- they’re literally just a click
away. Need a sample of a living will to hand an aging parent? Need a grocery
list of colorful fruits and vegetables that belong in your family’s diet? How
about the medical lowdown on ginseng, which your friend intimated could spice
up your sex life? All the advice is drawn from the latest scientific studies
and peer-reviewed articles in prestigious medical journals.
In
this case, the consumer adage “You get what you pay for” does not stand true.
Because all the scientific information offered at RealAge.com is free.
The RealAge Test, which celebrates an individual’s healthy lifestyle choices
and specifies health risks to keep an eye on, is also free.
By
keeping the practice of wise health consumerism top-of-mind every day, Michael
Roizen, MD, cofounder of RealAge, believes all of us can reap the
ultimate advantage -- the opportunity to extend the body’s warranty and add
more life to our years. Roizen will share “YOU: Steps to Extending Your
Warranty” in over 600 PBS airings nationwide in March. Check local programming
for details. For
