[COMMUNICATED] Health Month @ Gourmet Glatt has been an exciting and lively month, and for those of you who have come down to the store, you’ve had the chance to try some of our super-special healthy specials. We’ve been trying to improve the way we shop, the way we eat- because how can you resist BLU Fish Market’s delicious Honey Soy Pistachio Baked Salmon or The Gourmet Kitchen’s Popcorn cauliflower- and now it’s time to take a look at our well-being.

When your mother told you to “put on a coat or you’ll catch a cold!”, it may have been an old-wives tale (the cold doesn’t get you sick- the bacteria does), but it doesn’t mean you didn’t have to take care to stay healthy. Health isn’t just the food you eat, it’s the way you treat yourself.

Statistics show that 30% of the population find undiscovered problems during annual health screenings, which may not seem significant when your doctor tells you you need to schedule a ‘checkup’, but proves to be vital in statistics. Health screenings are necessary and possibly lifesaving, but often a big inconvenience to our daily schedule and life if you’re not “sick”.

However, Gourmet Glatt cares about the way you’re treated, and so we want to treat you. Today, Gourmet Glatt and Lakewood Immediate Care will be teaming up to bring you better health faster and by your convenience.

Connoted by the ‘Immediate’ in ‘Lakewood Immediate Care’, this isn’t like your typical PCP office. There’s no waiting for appointments, no setting up camp in the waiting room. Your health is important, and it should come first, and fast. It’s a progressive medical center that’s a step up from a regular doctor’s office. Not only does LIC treat illnesses and ailments, they can administer stitches and other services an ordinary doctor’s office would not.

So begining today, November 28th, walk into Lakewood Immediate Care and mention Gourmet Glatt, and you will receive a free Basic Health screening, so you can keep your health up to par, not only by eating and shopping right, but by taking care of your physical well-being!

They will test your blood pressure, your oxygen saturation levels, your BMI (Did you try any recipes from the cooking demo? It’ll show!), and your pulse rate. They are also offering an upgraded screening to test your glucose and cholesterol levels.

So when you’re shopping at Gourmet Glatt for our healthy specials next week, you know that you can pop into Lakewood Immediate Care next door and have your health checked- because you can prove to yourself that all that healthy shopping and eating this month has really paid off.
