Hi folks, how are you all doing? I found an interesting topic to share with you today and I hope this information will serve the purpose for which it was intended.
First of all, what is Self Care?
Self Care is the activity of an individual with the intention of improving health, treating or preventing disease.
In other words, Self Care means looking after yourself in a healthy way
While Health Care is, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease, illness and other physical and mental impairments in human beings.
Do you know that in 1 year we have 8,760 hours (playing with number)? Check out the breakdown below…
If probably you visit your doctor about 12 times a year (i.e, once every month), and probably spend about 2 hours on each visit, which rarely is the case (because in reality we actually spend between 20 – 45 minutes with the physician), at the end of 1 year, you probably would have spent only about 24 hours out of the 8,760 hours…, meaning that your physician has only 24 hours to fix whatever went wrong with you in that whole 8,760 hours of the year… Remember that, “Physician are not magician”.
So therefore.., you spend most time with yourself than you do with your physician. Eating right, exercising regularly and having a good night rest (most of us stay up late) will help reduce the frequency of doctor’s office visits, reduce your out of pocket financial expenses, keep you in good shape and overall reduce the nation’s sky-rocketing *lol* healthcare expenditure.
P.S
Whenever I go for doctor’s visits ( which is only twice in a year), they end up telling me “you are in good shape” *Glory be to God*.
Personally, I think Self Care is very important and I feel that, most people are guilty of not doing enough of it (Self Care).
In other words, Take care of yourself first, before you go on your next doctor visit. Ciao
