At Olentangy Private Internal Medicine, we are dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle all year long. To help keep you informed, we post a new Wellness Brief each season. Focusing on all topics affecting your health, the briefs feature articles and helpful hints on everything from preventing illness & prescription medication, weight loss & food information, to the benefits of sleep & methods for stress reduction!

Did you know...

...that eating a daily cup of low-fat yogurt can reduce your susceptibility to cold by 25%?

or...

...that caffeine has been shown to increase a stress hormone called 'cortisol,' causing increased heart rate, blood pressure, and a 'sense of emergency' alert-- which ultimately results in food cravings--specifically for sweets?

or...

 ...that the lavender plant, known for its fresh fragrance can help to calm sunburns, minor cuts & scrapes, counter insomnia, promote restful sleep & relieve nervous tension & mild depression?
