It is important to stay on top of your health and well being.  Many people get caught up in the rush of our modern day lives and forget to take care of themselves.  While we have great new technology and medical knowledge available to us, it isn’t useful if we don’t take the time to benefit from it.

Get Checked Out

It is so important to see your doctor regularly, but many people don’t do this and keep putting it off.  Regular annual checkups with your primary doctor can help to catch things before they become major health problems.  Also, if you wear glasses it is important to get your eyes checked every year.  Wearing out-of-date prescriptions isn’t healthy for you and you deserve to see the world better too.

Stay On Top Of Health Issues

If you know you have specific problems make sure to keep up with them.  I have found relief from chronic headaches by seeing a chiropractor.  When I slip up and don’t get in for a while, then it takes longer to get my neck and headaches back under control.  A little time used by going in regularly saves me in the long run by keeping things in check.

Listen To Your Body

Your body is great at sending out signals when something is wrong.  If you keep getting headaches, don’t just hide them with pain medicine every day, try to figure out what is going on.  Don’t ignore your body, but take the time to listen to it and figure out what it is trying to tell you.  Sometimes you may need to go to several different doctors, specialists, or alternative medicine practitioners before you figure it out.

Logan Challenge

My challenge to you today is to be honest with yourself and write down what you need to do for your health, whether this is getting in to your regular doctor for a checkup, or pursuing a specific health problem.  Then take action and follow up.  Your body will thank you and your family will thank you as well for taking care of yourself!
