Healthy Living & Healthy Lifestyle Tips
Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. I’m your pharmacist, Paul White. We’re glad you joined us. Before we begin, I’d like to thank our sponsors, Aultman Health Systems, Studio Arts & Glass, and Jenior Appraisals and Liquidations. Today Brad and I are broadcasting from our administrative offices. Today our show is all about you. We have an exciting new program to share with our listeners today, as well as responses to questions our friends and neighbors posted on our Facebook pages.
It’s hard to consider a “Top 10” list and not think of David Letterman. Did you know his first “Top 10 list” was on his show on September 18, 1985, that very first top 10 list was “The top ten words that almost rhyme with peas.” There is of course a top ten list of David Letterman’s best top 10 lists which include favorites like “the Top 10 ways the country would be different if Britney Spears was president.”
Today we are going to talk about our Top 10 tips to help each of you stay healthy, live your best life, and accomplish all those things that bring you joy. I’m not sure our list would have ever made it to the David Letterman show, but we know we can help you save money and be healthy.
We’d like to remind our listeners that today’s program is also available on our podcast in your favorite podcast app. Look for Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy and please subscribe!
