Statistics reveal that approximately 80% of older adults suffer from at least one chronic condition. Scientific research has identified that many chronic diseases, including diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, and liver disease, can be prevented if detected early. Lifestyle choices play a crucial role in the development and management of these conditions.

At Lakewood Primary Care and Wellness, we understand that true health is more than just the absence of disease; it’s about achieving harmony between your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Our approach to chronic care emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet, an active lifestyle, and effective stress management. These elements are essential for better mental health, stress relief, and overall well-being. A healthy lifestyle, which includes managing stress, eating a nutritious diet, limiting smoking and alcohol consumption, and ensuring adequate sleep, positively impacts the immune system, accelerates the healing process, and supports hormone balance.

Early Detection and Preventive Care

Early detection is key in managing chronic diseases. Regular screenings, such as cancer marker tests and inflammation level assessments, are vital preventive measures that can significantly reduce the risk of age-related diseases.
