Do we look after our health properly?
How many of us out there really knows how to look after our own health. We read differing stories and see different images of good health. Do we take notice of these? Do we know what to look for within ourselves relating to good health?
Health Check
How many of us out there have had a full health check? Do we understand what the component of the results we have been given? I read an article the other day about what is good health, it maintained that the main indication of good health was weight and chlorestrol levels. I feel that people are far too concerned about these issues. There are other aspects of their health they need to be concerned about. Looking after their blood, making sure their blood sugar levels are maintained, looking after their colon, these will go a long way to reducing weight and a better health and well being.
Components of The Health Check
I feel that everyone should go and have a full health check after which they can take preventive action. I was fortunate enough to get a full health check when I was on business in India, I not only got a full check but also at 10th of the cost here. The check included everything, Body, Eyes, Teeth, it was a complete head to toe check.
The tests that was carried out were
- Stress Test
- ECG
- Sonography
- Colour Doppler
- Echo Cardiography
- Digital X-Ray
- Digital OPG
- Eye Test
- Dental Check
- Allergy Test
- Dietary Recommendations
When I got the results I must admit did to not understanding some of the components, however, as I was concerned about my health and want to be in the best of health, I researched the terms to understand what the terms mean, what the numbers mean. Armed with this information and knowledge, I now know what I need to do to maintain my health. Our health is our responsibility, we need to understand how our body works, take action where necessary. I believe in preventative medicine, a holistic approach to health and life, I feel that if we need to go to see a doctor then it’s too late.
Our body is one system as everything is linked, I disapprove of the way our GP’s diagnose us, in my opinion they don’t see us as a system, they take individual ailments and try to resolve it on a part by part basis almost like a mechanic, as I said it’s our body parts are all linked, also our health is not just based on our physical being, the GP’s seems to have little time to understand the mental and spiritual side of our lives.
Our health is important, it’s not any one’s responsibility but our own, let’s look after our health, let’s understand our body and remember ” My body is not me but mine” Own your body give it life and good health to live as you want to live.
