"Living Well"

This morning on the NBC 5 News’ "Living Well" segment, Dr. Maryanne Malloy discussed basic vitamins she recommends for her patients. She even suggested giving vitamins as holiday gifts for your family and friends to start out the new year right! Below are the vitamins she recommends:

Omega-3 fatty acids – “... To keep your blood vessels healthy.”
Calcium – Calcium is necessary to keep your bones health.
Daily Multivitamin - “It’s true food is a better source than vitamins,” Dr. Malloy says, “but the little addendum is if you ate perfectly you wouldn’t need vitamins!”
Vitamin D- “...Seems to fight cancer, heart disease and even depression.”

The last thing that Dr. Malloy recommends is chicken soup! Chicken soup is not only considered a “comfort food” but many people believe that chicken soup has other “curative properties” as well. For chicken soup gifts Dr. Malloy recommends ordering grandmaschickensoup.com. You can also make your own and purchase a “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book from a local bookstore. Chicken Soup for the Soul contains inspirational stories for family and friends.

Be healthy for the new year!
