“Health Matters” is a phrase that can be taken many ways. “Matters” can be used as a verb or a noun. The Health Matters website seeks to discuss matters of health because health really matters.
The Health Matters website was originally created to archive and supplement articles I have submitted for a local newspaper or content I had placed on social media.
The platform for the original website is on wix.com. The main website is now healthmatters.fitness, however I will be using the original wix website for some of the supporting content.
The Health Matters website/blog will explore matters of health. I will share information about medicine, nutrition, physical fitness and more. To keep things fun I will sprinkle in bits about recreation, music, history, travel and other matters of interest.
What I blog about
My Story
This website was originally created to supplement articles I have submitted for publication or have been placed on social media. The website now has content I have created for educational “handouts” I can provide for my patients and others who are interested. COVID-19 information was the initial emphasis of the website. I have now included more general health and medical topics. Fitness and active living has become a new set of topics I would like to expand. I view active living as part of being healthy and have included content on recreation. I am an avid scuba diver and love hiking. Travel is essential for me to be able to fully enjoy those activities so I am including information about travel as well. Travel I believe is good for our mental health and overall wellbeing. Mark Twain once said “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
