Many of us make New Year's resolutions each year, and this year should be no different. This short series will be slightly different than previous blogs on our website in that we will cover health issues that all of us should be aware of, such as the effects of obesity, high blood pressure, good nutrition and diets that don't work, exercise, and getting enough sleep. Your health care provider may or may not discuss these issues with you, but as a nurse and an attorney, I want to cover topics such as these to remind us of the importance of maintaining good health in 2012.

Our first series will be "Getting Enough Sleep," and will appear here within the next few days. This topic is actually more important than you might think, so please return to our website to learn more about the benefits of sleeping, and the ramifications of long-term insomnia.
