As a physician assistant I also am interested in current news. On a professional level there are many sites on the internet at no expense: Medscape. com. Primed. com.. The AMA also has a site. I don't know on what level of experience or education you are looking , but it exists in an abundance. Just be sure that what you are reading is well researched ,and hopefully, peer-reviewed. And even in those instances....you are the judge, so use critical thinking. Medicine is not a black and white field ,as many think. It is more gray.....and what was written as stone-cold fact five years ago could be the subject of derision now. And even though I am a health care provider and deeply invested in this subject...this is a very human field of endeavor...as is everything...so there is a portion of greed involved. Beware of issues of money....(research done by drug compainies takes special scrunity). So keep an open mind. There is truth in everything...sometimes not blatant. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteEat at least 5 portions of fruit or vegetables a day. Try to cut out as much sugar and snacks as you can manage. Drink plenty of water.Exercise for about 30 minutes a day.Walking is an excellent form of exercise and is great because you can walk briskly around shops whilst looking at really cute outfits.
