Osteoporosis:
Not Just a
Woman's Concern

"Osteoporosis in men
is substantially under-
diagnosed and under-
treated in the United
States and worldwide,"
 says Dr. Hau Liu in a
study published this
year in the Annuls of
Internal Medicine.

DEXA will be offered
September 25 right here at Pura Vida.

Sign up at the front desk. For details visit
www.puravidaclub.com

DEXA, dual-energy
x-ray absorptiometry,
is the gold standard
for detecting low bone density and osteoporosis in both men & women.
This test is typically recommended for women at age 50 and men at age 60; however it is best to have a baseline test done around age 35. 

Contact Dr. Kathleen
for more information.

Gratitude and Wellness
 
Recent psychological research shows that gratitude plays an important role in our happiness, our healthy adjustment to life, and even in our physical well-being. Dr. Robert Emmons and Dr. Michael McCollough describe some of these studies in their book, The Psychology of Gratitude.

People who count their blessings are happier and healthier. One way to improve our sense of gratitude is to simply be aware of it. Gratitude is a choice that we make. Saying "thank you" not only improves the day for the person you thank, it improves your day too. Thank you for allowing me to share this column with you and for your membership with Pura Vida.
 
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.
Sir Winston Churchill

Enjoy the week!
