NEW CITY CHIROPRACTIC WILL HOST AN INFORMATIVE TYPE 2 DIABETES SEMINAR ON JULY 25

Dr. Michael Cocilovo and Dr. Gil Rodriguez of New City Chiropractic Center will host a free Type 2 Diabetes Seminar on Wednesday July 25 from 6:15 until 7:30 in their office at 20 Squadron Boulevard, Suite 580 in New City, New York. In 2009 (the latest statistics available from the CDC) 9.9% of the adult population in Rockland County was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, among the highest in New York State. People with blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet in the diabetic range have "prediabetes." Insulin resistance and prediabetes usually have no symptoms. Individuals may have one or both conditions for several years without noticing anything. However progression to diabetes among those with prediabetes is not inevitable.

Learning simple lifestyles changes can help you avoid getting diabetes. At the seminar attendees will learn:

1) What is type 2 diabetes?

2) How does it develop?

3) How can it be prevented?

4) Can it be reversed?

5) What foods and supplements can help keep it under control? 

The presentation will be followed by questions and answers and healthy refreshments will be available. To register call 845-634-8877 or send an email to newcitychiropractic@gmail.com. Visit the company's website at www.newcitychiropractic.com for healthy tips and advice.
