A column by Amy Davidoff, Ph.D., professor of biomedical sciences in the College of Osteopathic Medicine, was recently published in the Journal Tribune’s monthly publication York County Health & Wellness.

Davidoff contributed a piece for the publication’s January/February issue that focuses on heart disease awareness.

β€œHeart Smart: Easier said than done?” discusses realistic behavioral modifications that can help lower the risk of heart disease. She stresses the importance of setting goals that are not overwhelming. β€œWhat will small, measureable goals do?” she asks. β€œThey can help us change unhealthy habits in a way that is realistic and sustainable.”

Davidoff continues, β€œDenying ourselves things we love is not realistic, but if we start cutting down on portions or swap an apple for potato chips twice a week, it is a start.”
