Choose the healthy screen time
Healthy diet, regular exercise, better sleep and—more screen time? The average American spends seven hours a day with device screens, while the average health screening appointment lasts only two hours.
If we can find time for device screens, we should also make time for health screens.
Regular wellness screenings are one of the best ways to improve your current health and long-term outcomes.
When it comes to wellness, it turns out there’s no such thing as too much screen time.
