Physican Recommends Steps to Healthier Living

Carol Henwood, DO Physican Advisor to Healthy Woman recommends to patients the steps to living a healthier lifestyle.  She states “that the truth is,  there is more to maintaining health than the medical do’s and don’ts.  My answer is the same every time -  maintain good cholesterol and blood pressure levels; keep your body at a healthy weight; don’t smoke; and be sure to exercise!” 

 Your  Next  Step

Imagine what you can achieve.   Pottsgrove Chartwell’s 5K (3.1 miles) is a fast and hilly neighborhood run that’s the  perfectfit for both runners and walkers.   Chartwell’s 5K was the fourth race in the journey of “50 miles by 50.”  With encouragement from PHC members and runners Gary De Renzo and Ginger Angelo, we all met Saturday morning at the track.   It had been almost 30 years since my last 5K and speed is not my greatest talent.  But running with Ginger pushed me to achieve a personal best of 22:49.

Get Encouragement to Achieve Your Personal Best

Imagine applying my 5K experience to whatever you want to achieve.  Start with your goal, get a plan, take action and seek encouragement from others.  If you are discouraged with your exercise results, then meet with a PHC certified fitness professional.   Your personal trainer will encourage you to achieve your greatest potential.   Or opt to find a workout partner for fitness success.

Really Achieving Your Dreams

In the national bestseller The Last Lecture author Randy Pausch shares his life story about “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.”  It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because “time is all you have…and you may find one day that you have less than you think”).   In September 2006, Randy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.  I loved this book because it is not about dying but rather about the joy of living.   As I plan for the next 19 miles, I discover a new appreciation of living.  What’s stopping you?

The 29th Annual Blue Cross Broad Street Run was the third race in my quest of 50 miles by 50.   Whether you are a runner or walker – this is one of the best races in the country.  The ten mile course starts in North Philly straight through Temple’s campus, onward to City Hall, pass the Sports Complex and then to the finish line at the Navy Yard.   Are you wishing to run a 5K?   Stop wishing and start doing.  This simple sentence separates those who achieve their dreams from those who just wish.   Checkout the running times of PHC finishers at  www.broadstreetrun.com

And join me Saturday, May 10th for Chartwell’s 5K fun run and walk  which will place me closer to 30 miles.
