 Please note that eating these foods does not guarantee to prevent disease as there are other factors to consider. However, maintaining a healthy diet is a great pathway to better health. See your physician for more information or contact the LHC for an appointment with our on-staff licensed medical providers.  

We know how important it is to eat fruits & veggies, drink plenty of water, and take supplements along with having routine check-ups. We even know the value of maintaining a regular exercise regiment, yes, this is all true! However, truthfully, it’s not always as easy when going it alone especially when you don’t have the support you need. At LHC, we’re here to help with a regiment and support tailored specifically for you.  

Regular exercise improves blood circulation, which may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, lower blood cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and may improve blood sugar levels. However, if you have diabetes, heart, or kidney disease, we recommend you consult with your doctor beginning an exercise program.

Other benefits of exercising:

Burns calories

Keeps weight off

Helps you live longer

Lowers risk of certain diseases

Improves quality of life

Helps maintain testosterone level as you age

Lowers risk of some cancers

Lowers risk of cardiovascular disease

Lowers risk of death from diabetes and sleep apnea

STDs are sexually transmitted diseases and are mostly spread through sexual contact. If you’re sexually active, getting an STD is highly possible. Most are treatable. LHC provides testing, treatment, and counseling for STDs. If you suspect that you have been infected or have been sexually active, please call our office for an appointment to get a test.    (IT- remove “Walk-ins Are Welcome from the woman’s page)

• Small amounts of clear or cloudy discharge from the tip of the penis 
• Painful urination 
• Burning and itching around the opening of the penis 
• Pain and swelling around the testicles 

5 STDs that Are Asymptomatic: You Could “It” Without Knowing It   

1. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). It is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. 79 million Americans, most in their late teens and early 20s, are infected with HPV. 

1. Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in women under 25. About 75% of infections in women and 50% in men are without symptoms. 

1. Gonorrhea is similar to chlamydia 

1. Herpes is a viral infection that could be present on your mouth or genitals.  

1. Trichomoniasis is pretty common and it’s caused by a parasite 

 

These are just a few asymptomatic STD/STIs 

• You can get STD/STIs by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus 
• Can be treated  
• Get tested for STD and STI regularly  
• Talk to your Health Care Professional about proper protection before having sex, or give us a call.
