taking care of yourself

1/24/2019

With all of the headlines out there on what you should or shouldn't be doing for your health, taking care of yourself feels like a full-time job.

Today I'll present a few things for you to do on a regular basis to help take care of yourself. You need to get into good routines if you want to improve and maintain your health long-term. 
Picture

regularly see your doctor

You should
1) have a regular primary care doctor (also known as a general practitioner) and
2) see them at least every year.

Seeing them once every year is a smart way to maintain good health.
​
No matter how much you read about health online, your doctor knows a bit more. A nagging symptom may be a sign of something more, and your doctor can help you get relief. 

Even if you have a clean bill of health, scheduling regular medical appointments is necessary to maintain that clean bill of health. Think of it as being proactive for yourself.

stay safe on the road

We often worry about accidents during turbulence on a plane, but your risk of harm from a motor vehicle accident is much higher simply because we drive nearly every single day.

Even minor accidents can lead to long-term back pain, neck pain. 

While driving fast can be fun, it's important to take a cautious approach to driving if you want to look after yourself.

Paying attention to the road, and not your phone, and establishing a priority of safety for others in your car is key.

Children should be secured and understand the importance of the driver focusing on the road, and pets should be secured.

Of course, even the best drivers can wind up in an accident if something unexpected happens, such as another driver behaving recklessly.

If that has happened to you before then you might want to seek the help of a car accident attorney at Aitken Aitken Cohn.

By getting the compensation you deserve, you could pay for any medical bills necessary to get your health back up to scratch.

kick that bad habit

We all have indulgences but it may be time to abandon one or two of your own. 

An occasional night of pizza and beer is fun, but can influence your daily habits. A few drinks out with friends might turn into a few beers at home after work just to "unwind". A cigarette every once in awhile with friends may turn into a cigarette every time you're stressed at work. Fast food here and there might turn into daily meals because it's "easier". When these habits develop, they can lead to slow but steady weight gain that's difficult to reverse. 

If you’re smoking excessively, or find that your habits have escalated more than you thought, take a step back and ask yourself why and make realistic goals to change it. 

Seek support from your loved ones to make habits - everyone is working on something! Take it slowly. Improving your health is a gradual process.
