Cardiologist s daughter inspires creation of Walk-with-a-Doc
Special to The Oak Ridger
Walking for as little as 30 minutes a day can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease, improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels, elevate your mood and reduce your risk of osteoporosis, cancer and diabetes.
And, if you join Methodist Medical Center’s new “Walk-with-a-Doc” program, you can also learn more about an important health topic each month. Milan Sheth, a board-certified interventional cardiologist, will lead the first session with a discussion about heart disease at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 14. Participants will meet at the pavilion at Melton Lake Park in Oak Ridge to hear brief remarks by Sheth and then will walk as a group to Calhoun’s restaurant and back.
