What if you could take a simple test to detect your potential for developing heart disease or diabetes later in life? YOU CAN! The Cardio-Metabolic Assessment Test (CMAT) provides you with detailed information regarding the extent to which heart disease and diabetes, or their beginnings, may be present in your body.

After the test, you are given a list of suggestions for changing the trajectory of your health to wellness rather than illness! You can use this information to take preventive action if needed, or assurance that you're on the right track. You can even schedule a follow up test in three months to see how the changes you have made have already affected your health!

Rapha Wellness and Primart Care is the ONLY primary care provider in the state of Mississippi that uses the CMAT test to detect a host of potential illnesses that you could be in danger of developing over time. Heart disease and diabetes can strike anyone, even the extremely fit. These tests will help you understand how cardiovascular disease isn't just caused by one single factor, but rather a combination of factors that contribute toward the development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and inflammation. Part of the Cardio-Metabolic panel includes pre-Diabetes testing. These tests identify metabolic abnormalities that can lead to Type 2 Diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a common condition where the body cannot metabolize carbohydrate foods properly, resulting in impaired blood glucose control, which in turn can progress to diabetes if not properly addressed through diet and lifestyle changes.

These are factors that can be controlled and changed, and together with R3 Wellness formerly Ridgeland Family Clinic, we not only want to help you identify your risk, but we want to help you devise a plan to prevent these illnesses from taking over your health.

Give us a call today to schedule your CMAT test with Karen Bedells! (601) 790-7711

Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday! Embrace today ! Embrace this week as we think about Jesus entering into Jerusalem to die for each of us! Embrace Jesus this Easter season.

John 12:13 - So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”

“So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him.”
Matthew 24:44


Reflection:
Let's face it: we all love a good countdown. Whether it's for a holiday, a birthday, or a big event, the anticipation builds as we mark off the days. But when it comes to Jesus' return, we don't get a countdown clock.
Matthew 24:44 reminds us that the Son of Man will come "at an hour when you do not expect him." No calendar alerts, no flashing neon signs – just a sudden, glorious arrival.
So, how do we live in the meantime? This verse isn't meant to scare us, but to empower us. It's a call to live each day with intentionality and purpose, knowing that we could be called home at any moment.
Imagine getting a surprise visit from someone you love. Wouldn't you want to be prepared? Your house would be tidy, your heart would be open, and you'd be ready to welcome them with joy. It's the same with Jesus.
Living in readiness doesn't mean being perfect; it means being prepared. It means cultivating a close relationship with God, investing in our loved ones, and serving others with a generous heart.
So today, let's not get caught up in the waiting game. Let's live each day as if it were the day Christ returns, embracing every opportunity to love, serve, and spread His hope.

9 Things in Your Pantry You Should Throw Away ASAP

When was the last time you cleaned out your pantry? To help you get started, here are nine common pantry items you probably need to toss. If you're anything like us, your kitchen pantry is probably bursting at its seams. We utilize every inch, nook and cranny to store everything from canned beans to seaweed snacks. Although we'd like to say that all our pantry items are fresh, the truth is we know there are some items that have gone bad or are past their expiration dates. Over the next week, we will be talking about the nine types of items in our pantries—and probably yours—that should be thrown away.

#2 - Herbs & Spices
If you're an adventurous home cook and like to try new recipes, you may be guilty of stockpiling dozens of dried herbs and spices that have only been used once or twice. Dried herbs and spices technically never go bad, but they will lose their flavor over time. Ground spices last about 2 to 3 years, while whole spices can last up to 4 years. Go through your spice drawer and throw out any that have been around for more years than recommended—they're not doing your cooking any favors.

If it's been a while since you cleaned out your pantry, there's a good chance you have a number of items that need to be thrown out. To avoid this situation in the future (and prevent further food waste from occurring), now may be the right time to organize your kitchen!

Tune in tomorrow for the third item in your pantry you might need to throw out!

#3 - Flours
Are you a lifelong baker, or do you pick it up only when time permits? Either way, you likely have half-used bags of flour tucked away in your pantry. It may be time to throw those in the compost bin. Flour stays fresh for about 8 months when stored at room temperature. However, certain flours, like whole-wheat, gluten-free and nut-based flours, have a shorter shelf life due to their higher fat content. Depending on when you bought your flour, it might be time to throw it away. If it's been less than a year since you purchased it, do a smell test. If it has a stale, sour or off aroma, throw it out.

If it's been a while since you cleaned out your pantry, there's a good chance you have a number of items that need to be thrown out. To avoid this situation in the future (and prevent further food waste from occurring), now may be the right time to organize your kitchen!

Tune in tomorrow for the fourth item you might need to pull out and throw away!
