DOMDA PRO Richie Ferrol<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our world today is plagued with diseases of all sorts; and conditions such as anxiety, discontent, worry, and grief; tend to sap one\u2019s strength and break down the life forces, thereby inviting illnesses and ill-health.<\/p>\n

According to the Pan American Health Organization: \u201cheart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of illness and premature death in the Caribbean today. Most of these illnesses are caused by four modifiable risk factors; this means they can be controlled or changed. They are namely: tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity,
\nand the harmful use of alcohol.\u201d The more risk factors a person has, the greater the chance of heart disease, stroke, and NCDs.<\/p>\n

The Dominica Diabetes Association encourages people to do regular screenings and health checkups. We are also asking persons to empower themselves through the acquisition and reading of meaningful health books which can lead to a greater understanding of positive lifestyle practices that can be incorporated to improve overall health and well-being.<\/p>\n

The Dominica Diabetes Association is pleased to announce that the IADPA Bookstore located on 34 King’s Lane, in Roseau, is one of its new partners in combatting lifestyle diseases. At the IADPA bookstore, there are books for almost every disease and books that give insight on weight management, natural remedies, understanding food and others
\nthat explain the mind and body connection.<\/p>\n

Additionally, with every book purchased at the IADPA Bookstore, a contribution of $5.00 goes towards the fight against diabetes, hypertension and other NCDs. This is a win-win fundraiser that you and your family will be happy to participate in.<\/p>\n

For more information, queries, and updates, please contact The IADPA Bookstore at 1 767 617- 1999. You can visit DOMDA\u2019s office at 30 McIntyre Lane, Goodwill; or call us at 1-767-440-8801\/ 316-7326.<\/p>\n

Together\u2026with DOMDA our health can be better!!!<\/p>\n
