What is the The Daily Apple™©?

The Daily Apple™© is a StepWisely® periodical brought to you by Michael F. Mascia, MD, MPH (aka Dr. Mike) & Infinity Health Solutions  www.ihealsolutions.com

It has been said that “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Is this a fact?  The short answer is, yes!  You say, “I want scientific evidence”!  OK, good, you will get it, but not today.

Preface & Introduction

Stay tuned to The Daily Apple™© for detailed StepWisely®™© answers to this and other questions that will help you Go to Health™©.  In the meantime eat an apple a day, and let me introduce you to the Daily Apple™©.  This periodical blog is an offshoot of The Stress Management Workbook: An Action Plan for Taking Control of Your Life and Health (© Aronson & Mascia 1979, 1981), a self help book published by Appleton Century Crofts as a guide for patients who wanted to “take charge” of their health and healthcare.  Now, after 30 additional years of experience coaching patients, family, friends, other docs - after decades of preventing illness, caring for the sick and treating casualties it is time for the “Next Generation", “The NEW and Revised Stress Management Workbook”.  Updated and interactive, the new book is starting to take shape and you can be a part of it.  So, please join me in this blog, where we will explore the many ways you can learn to “Take the Best Possible Care™©” of yourself, those you love, those around you, and beyond.  This blog will take you through the Original Stress Management Workbook and the new material that will become The New Stress Management Workbook. 

Lots of material to cover, so let’s get started.  This is how.  We will StepWisely®™©, one small step at a time,  to be slowly compiled  into these pages, twitter and facebook.  These pages will fit into the framework of The ORIGINAL Stress Management Workbook.  The Daily Apple™© will provide regular Health Bits, Bytes and Bites on this blog, the Infinity Health Solutions website (www.ihealsolutions.com), on twitter (@ihealsolutions and @dr_mike_IHS) and Facebook (ihealsolutions) in the context of The Stress Management Workbook, OK? 

We will use the Stress Management Workbook, to help maintain order and perspective in what has become an extraordinarily complex and fragmented “business of medicine”.  We will help bring you back to the basics and the fundamentals of self care, so you can take full advantage of the opportunity you have to create “an action plan for taking control of your life and health”.  Confused? Comments? Questions?  Engage in the process & write to me (dr.mike@ihealsolutions.com)  I will get back to you ASAP.

Ciao for now,
Dr. Mike
