Didn't we talk about this? Yes, we did http://drwinsett.blogspot.com/2012/08/should-we-doctors-treat-inactivity.html.
The Canadians are doing it http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/story/2013/05/03/exercise-prescription.html and its working!
Since the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) says 79% of americans are not meeting guidelines for exercise, maybe we doctors should write more exercise prescriptions. See http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/02/physical-activity-guidelines/2128971/?cid=xrs_rss-nd%3C.
For those of you who need a jump-start to your exercise and be active program, would that work?
If it would work for you, call your doctor or call me 512-451-5788 to get your personalized exercise prescription. Remember, over 75 studies have shown that those who regularly exercise have fewer breast cancers http://drwinsett.blogspot.com/2012/06/maybe-youve-heard-exercise-reduces.html.
Together we can prevent 86,000 breast cancers this year!
This is general content and not personal medical advice, but if you know someone who needs an exercise prescription, have them call me at 512-451-5788.
