Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle
Dr. Mitchell has long been a firm believer in good nutrition, routine exercise, avoidance of environmental toxins, and nutritional supplementation as tenets of health. It is a coordinated effort in all of these categories that produces and maintains your optimum ocular health as well as your greater overall long term health. There is a growing body of evidence, based on medical studies that solidifies these concepts. As a firm believer in nutritional supplementation as Dr. Mitchell is, he knows that it is not a balancing act. Routine stops for “fast foods” cannot be counterbalanced with vitamin supplementation. Nor will a great diet including exercise completely dismiss the ravages of cigarette smoking. At InSight EyeCare, we will continually encourage our patients on the course of the healthiest of habits.
Dr. Mitchell has been recommending nutritional supplementation for certain eye diseases since opening his practice in Laurium back in 1990. There was a time when those recommendations had been without regard to the quality, the potency, or the array of vitamins and minerals included in the supplements. Unfortunately, the supplement producers are in an unregulated industry where many products are marketed without regard for quality. After becoming familiar with USANA Health Sciences nutritionals; their quality, their content, and the bioavailability of their products, Dr. Mitchell has become very confident in recommending these products as the best supplements available.
