An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to help protect against flu. Vaccination has been shown to have many benefits including reducing the risk of flu illnesses and hospitalizations.
1. A flu shot can save your life:
The flu can cause some serious complications that sometimes require hospitalization, such as dehydration, worsening of chronic illnesses, bacterial pneumonia, ear infections and sinus infections.
2. Shot helps with herd immunity:
If we all get immunizations, of course we can’t spread the virus elsewhere, so we’re all protected from it.
3. Most people are eligible to get the flu shot:
Everyone should get an influenza (flu) vaccine every season, especially after the age of 55.
4. The flu shot changes each year:
Before each flu season, the CDC determines which strains of influenza appear to most likely to occur that year. The vaccine will still reduce your chances of contracting certain strains of the virus and if you do get sick, having the vaccine can significantly reduce the severity of your symptoms.
5. You won’t get the flu from the flu shot:
A common misconception is that you can contract the flu from a flu vaccine, but that is not possible because the shot uses a deadened form of the virus.

If you’re concerned about developing breast cancer, you might be wondering if there are steps you can take to help prevent breast cancer. Some risk factors, such as family history, can’t be changed. However, there are lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk.
What can I do to reduce my risk of breast cancer?
Limit alcohol: The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer. The general recommendation is to limit yourself to no more than one drink a day, as even small amounts increase risk.
Maintain a healthy weight: If your weight is healthy, work to maintain that weight. If you need to lose weight, ask your doctor about healthy strategies to accomplish this. Reduce the number of calories you eat each day and slowly increase the amount of exercise.
Be physically active: Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight, which helps prevent breast cancer. Most healthy adults should aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity.
Be vigilant about Breast Cancer Detection: If you notice any changes in your breasts, such as a new lump or skin changes, schedule an appointment with us. Also, ask your doctor when to begin mammograms and other screening based on your personal history.

Your Doctor’s tips
When it comes to talking with your doctor, it’s important to know that nothing is “off limits”. Many people hold back important information from their healthcare providers out of fear of being judged or embarrassed. In some cases, failure to disclose information to your doctor can have serious consequences for your health.
At SaludVIP, our providers are here to help you take preventive measures to protect your health and improve your well-being. Schedule a preventive appointment with us!
Track your day: Track your eating habits
MyFitnessPal is one of the best food tracking apps available. The food diary includes an easy-to-use database that offers nutrition information for millions of different foods, including restaurant meals. Users are able to set their personal goals and the app will take that and break down the amount of calories to take in each day and how much water to drink.
Live healthy: The Importance of Spending Time Together
Families who share everyday activities together form strong, emotional ties. Studies have found that families who enjoy group activities together share a stronger emotional bond as well as an ability to adapt well to situations as a family. Share your favorite hobbies, sports, books, movies or other favorite activities.

SaludVIP primary care providers work tirelessly to provide the best medical primary care and bring unique experiences to our patients so that they can feel at home, comfortable, and safe. We strive to give the best possible service and help our patients walk down the path to Better Health. Let’s review the difference between medical Institutions and how our patients benefit from our OPEN ACCESS TO BETTER HEALTH APPROACH! Our doctors and clinical team are truly devoted to help our patients be the healthiest they can be, both physically and emotionally.
Primary care practices work with patients to create a strong relationship with their medical team, where they can trust their doctor with personal health questions and concerns. Communication between the patient and the doctor is vital, as it is the only way of being able to create a relationship that generates positive and memorable experiences.
At SaludVIP, our physicians routinely care for seniors and are well-equipped to manage chronic illnesses and coordinate complex care with specialists.
Urgent care clinics physicians are trained and organized to focus on episodic care, acute intervention, stabilization, and discharge or transfer referral to definitive care, with less of a focus on chronic conditions and limited provision for continuing care.
Hospitals Due to its operational magnitude, medical technology, and highly skilled specialists across all medical fields, certain aspects of the experience will be affected. The amount of patients will be higher, wait times will be increased, and the time spent between patient and specialist is reduced.
Understanding the role that each of the medical institutions plays and how they tend to their patients is important in order to attend correctly and find the expected or desired service.
At SaludVIP, our mission is to offer the highest quality of care with excellence, integrity, compassion and innovation. To pursue our patient’s health and wellness, as well as the love for the important things in life such as family, friends and life itself.
