There are certain health conditions that we have all heard of, such as stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, and many more. But how many of us really know what it means? I’ve heard from countless number of people that they don’t quite understand these things, and that they are not doctors so there is no need for them to. I respectfully disagree. I have always believed that we need to understand more about common health conditions, so we can learn to improve our own health. And with that, allow me to introduce a new ‘The Basics’ series that we are launching with this week’s issue of Your Health Matters Weekly. Each article under this series will introduce one health condition in an easy-to-understand format that simply explains (1) what it is, (2) its symptoms, and (3) treatment options. With time, we hope to build a library of clear and concise health information that will empower anyone and everyone to understand more about any health condition in a matter of minutes.

Wishing you the best of health, Daniel Choo CEO, The Medical Concierge Group
