Website of the Week

Healthfinder - http://healthfinder.gov 

This site is sponsored by the National Health Information Center. One can find resources on a wide range of health topics selected from over 1,600 government and non-profit organizations to bring you the best, most reliable health information on the Internet. Information is also available in Spanish.

I particularly like that one can browse topics by A-Z, “Health A-Z”. Another easy tool to use is “myhealthfinder”. This assists in finding specific health advice depending on age and sex. Although most people have probably heard these recommendations from their primary care doctors, it’s a quick reminder of what one can do to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It’s not too technical and in my opinion a great resource for the layperson
