Dr. Donald Sonn: Maintaining your health

Dr. Donald Sonn - Practicing Urologist

Doctors will agree that maintaining your health is essential for the quality and longevity of your life. Although many people claim they desire a healthier lifestyle, it seems to be difficult to properly apply healthy living to everyday life. With the constant flow of information and ways to achieve better health, it's difficult for many to drown out the noise and find methods that are best for them and their lifestyle. Dr. Donald Sonn is a practicing Urologist who remains active in his free time mountain biking and skiing. He enjoys spending time outdoors and believes that his time spent being physically active has helped him maintain his health both physically and mentally throughout what many would consider to be a stressful profession.

Taking the time to look after your health is important for not only you but those around you. Staying healthy for your family, your job, and your future are important and should be properly prioritized in your life. Several simple ways to look after your health each day include staying physically active, getting a proper amount of restful sleep, and eating healthy.

Physical activity does not have to necessarily be strenuous in order to make an impact on your health. As a matter of fact, pushing yourself too far too quickly may actually produce adverse effects on your health. Participating in activities you enjoy that get you up and moving can often provide the physical activity your body needs to stay physically fit. Bike riding, daily walks, taking the stairs, or parking at the furthest point in a parking lot are very simple and manageable ways to implement a healthier, more active lifestyle for those who need to take physical activity at a slower pace. Evaluating your options and finding the best ways to stay active for you are important in order to find something you enjoy that is feasible for you to fit into a regular routine.

Proper sleep is probably one of the most undervalued and overlooked aspects of health today. Obtaining eight solid hours of sleep a night helps the body to rejuvenate and boosts the immune system. The benefits of proper sleep are seemingly endless.

One of the most difficult aspects of health is eating properly. Cooking meals at home that consist of fruits and vegetables can drastically cut down on the growing issue of obesity and provide for a healthier way of living for countless individuals.

Whether your hobbies help you maintain an active lifestyle such as the case with Dr. Donald Sonn, or you are looking to implement small, manageable ways of improving your health, proper sleep, a healthy diet, and physical activity are sure to put you on a better path to healthy living for the long term.
