Have you gone to see a healthcare
provider in the last two years? I really believe in going and getting a checkup
every year or at least every other year. Even if you think you are in the best
of health, you still need to have a physical. Every year, kids who play sports
in school are required to get a physical before they are even allowed to
practice. I give schools an A+ for making students get a physical before
playing sports. You should always make sure you are at the top of your game,
health wise before participating in a game, even if that game is the game of
life.
Why would we as adults be any
different than a child playing sports? Should we not care about our
health? Have you ever thought about what would happen to our loved
ones if something would happen medically to us?
It is so important to make an
appointment just to have the peace of mind that you know where you stand health
wise. You do not want to wait to find out until it is too late that you have a
medical condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Would you look back
and say “I wish I would have gotten this checked out before it caused this much
damage?”
Do you use lack of money and
insurance as an excuse to not get checked out? Check with your local
hospital. Most hospitals will assist you in helping you find ways to make
it possible to afford medical bills. Some people are willing to save money to
go on vacations, to buy Christmas presents, and to get new furniture, but a lot
of the same people do not think about saving money for their health. If
something happens to you because you put off going to the doctor you may not be
able to go on that vacation or enjoy next Christmas with your family. I am not
trying to scare anyone, but I want you all to be aware of how important making
that appointment and taking care of your health is. Eating right and exercising
on a regular basis is a start, but some people may suffer from certain medical
conditions that prevent their bodies from absorbing the full effect of their
daily healthy choices. I went to the doctor and found out that I have
hypothyroidism. Now I am on medicine that helps regulate my thyroid, but if you
have hypothyroidism you might have a hard time losing weight even if you are
doing everything else right.
Thyroid problems have always run in
my family, and now I have it as well. I was feeling awful all the time. I
put off going to the doctor because I thought it would go away. Well it did
not, and I could have felt better the last several years if I had went to the
doctor sooner. After they put me on thyroid medication I feel so much better.
So just imagine how much better you can feel by going to the doctor to make
sure that there is nothing holding you back from being the healthiest version
of yourself.
So please, call your healthcare
provider, and let them help you get into the best health possible!
