We hear of balanced diet and probably learnt about it in school, but what really is a balanced diet and how can we achieve it in our daily lives?

Medical screenings are done to detect possible medical conditions that might not be readily apparent by appearance. While some medical conditions are contagious, every condition has one form of treatment or another and most can

individuals, require a minimal medical screening of members/employees/partners before any commitment is made. Below are the commonly requested screenings, offered at Etta Atlantic, and their specific benefits.
