An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. As dental professionals, we are in a unique position to provide our patients with the highest degree of preventive healthcare. What we do to maintain our bodies and health should be a KEY priority in each of our lives. Following the presentation, attendees should be able to: 1. Discuss how lifestyle habits contribute to the aging process, sleep quality and weight. 2. Integrate emerging science on diet, exercise and self-care into a personal plan of action. 3. Redefine exercise as a method of health maintenance rather than weight loss. 4. Identify healthy eating patterns and lifestyle modifications to promote optimal health.
