Of the few things that I’m passionate about, prevention is one topic that I think everyone should support, especially in education efforts. But I feel like prevention always seems to get the short shrift in funding and priorities. So this week, I’d like to dedicate the posts to prevention. It’s not an official prevention week, but I am officially endeavoring to post items that can motivate you to prevent horrible things from happening to your health.

However, I will not post any “scare tactics”— although I’ll never deny that hearing about a triple bypass is enough to send me to the treadmill and even make me omit the occasional Butterfinger—and instead make sure I link to information you can used to stay motivated.
