It's International Day of Friendship 🤝

A good friend listens. A great one tells you to go to the doctor.

Did you know that friendship is good for your health? Studies show that strong social connections lower stress, support heart health and even improve longevity.

Tag a friend who keeps you on your toes—and your health in check. 💚

We look forward to seeing you there! Thank you Key West Police Department and MCSO - Florida Keys for this annual event!

You can't spell hepatitis without A, B, or C—and each one matters.

Hepatitis A spreads through contaminated food and water.
Hepatitis B and C spread through blood and bodily fluids and can quietly damage the liver for years without symptoms.

The good news: vaccines exist for Hep A and B, and Hep C is now curable.

Expecting a baby? Make sure your newborn gets the Hep B vaccine; the first dose is recommended within 24 hours of birth.

Get tested. Get vaccinated. Know your status.

Your bones are doing a lot of heavy lifting. Return the favor.

1️⃣ Vitamin D & Calcium: Your bones need both. Dairy, leafy greens, fortified foods and a little sunshine go a long way. Talk to your doctor about whether a supplement is right for you.

2️⃣ Weight-Bearing Exercise: Walking, hiking, dancing, strength training. These put good stress on your bones and help maintain density over time.

3️⃣ Maintain a Healthy Weight: Both underweight and obesity can impact bone health. Your ideal weight isn't just about the scale — it's about what supports your frame long-term.

Christopher Bensen, M.D., is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Keys Medical Group Orthopedics, 1111 12th Street, Suite 201, Key West.

Your body has a cooling system. Overload it and it sends warning signs.

Watch for:

✔ Heavy sweating
✔ Cool, pale or clammy skin
✔ Fast, weak pulse
✔ Nausea
✔ Dizziness or fainting

What to do: Move to a cool place. Sip cool water. Loosen clothing. Apply cool, wet towels.

If symptoms don't improve within 30 minutes—or worsen—it's time for the ER.

It’s International Self-Care Day so don’t be selfish and show yourself some love. It's preventive medicine.

Sleep. Hydration. Movement. Time outside. Knowing your numbers.

The little things add up—in both directions. If you've been running on fumes, consider this your permission slip to slow down.

And if slowing down doesn't help, it might be time to loop in your doctor.
