Health Education: Realizations to ponder about our Health State

Recently, I have been blogging about my experiences in medical examinations. It was last Thursday night when I had a painful sensation inside my stomach which lasted up until the early morning of Friday. Honestly, I hesitated to blog those information because it is already somewhat too private however, my system is still wanting to raise awareness to everyone. Right now, I am still in medication and this will last for about 3 months. After the said period, I will be having another set of laboratory examinations as advised by my physician.

In this blog, please let me share to you some of my realizations about the importance of our health. I hope you can also ponder through reading this.

Earlier in my life, I am not so conscious with my health because of the thought that I am still young. I also believe that the thought of being /young/ and being /can’t be touched by sickness/ might be true to the youths of today. I eat a lot and whatever I want as long as my pockets can afford it plus the fact that I eat much when I am stressed. I can’t do exercise because I am preoccupied with the things at work. Gosh! I am totally living an unhealthy lifestyle.

It was in the middle of year 2016 when a friend invited me to join an organization which promotes health. I was so fascinated with the teachings since at the early 2016, I have been experiencing internal health problems. It was about 6 months when I have observed a normal body functions. I believe it was because I have followed their program. However, earlier in 2017 my pockets were already crying out loud by then, I stop! But because of following the program for almost a year, I still feel untouchable in terms of my health. I was like a superhuman which can’t be disturbed by many health issues.

Glimpse of the Teachings

The teachings that I have learnt in the organization where I have been part of earlier of 2016 were still stored in the compartments of my brain. Since I can still remember some of it, please let me share it to you at this juncture.

1. Almost all products in the market are all Genetically Modified which can cause a build up of unwanted bad cells in our system for a period of time.
2. Eating balanced diet and daily exercise are not enough in achieving optimum level of health.
3. Environmental pollution, stress, GMO, processed foods contribute to a many health problems.
4. Some land areas in our country are not already healthy or nutritious which can contribute to unhealthy crops.
5. Increasing numbers of noncommunicable diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes and etc. is already increasing since 2015 in low-income generating countries. (I have also confirmed this with WHO site: article published last 2017).
6. Health related issues will be a very profitable business sooner. This can also be observed with the presence of many hospitals. (I have personally observed this in our country last 2017, when there are a many hospitals built during the said year).

Again, those were just some of the learnings that I can recall. With the given learnings and with my current experience right now, I have composed my genuine realizations.

Let me start with...

There are times that I have been feeling unusual pain inside my system before but I have been ignoring it, /thinking it is not that serious/. I am feeling sorry for my own self right now, I have been listening and chatting with my friends but I wasn’t able to listen to my own body.

If you have been feeling an unusual pain or sensation in your body right now, you must not ignore it since I have done it already. It is always better to prevent it from getting worst by attending it at its early stage.

Health is totally a business. In some point, it brings wealth but in most scenarios it takes it away. Hospitals with the help of specialists/physicians have been profiting (sorry to say this) us if we are not a good gameplayer.

One technique that I have realized right now is that we need to make our own health as our primary business. Let’s start with investing to proper nutrition so that this wealthy business will not be taken away from us. Let’s not wait for the time when we will just wait to see our wealth draining by just merely recovering our dying health.

Personally, I’ve come into the point where I don’t trust physicians anymore because I have been fed up by the idea that they are making profit from the sick and because of my prior experience with a doctor who mistakenly diagnosed me with a serious health problem. By then, I was starting to build mistrust to them.

However, I am already rebuilding my trust to the experts again. It was more or less 3 days that I have went back and forth to a hospital and medical clinic and I have realized that not all physicians are too focused in gaining wealth because there are still some who are very dedicated and passionate with their mission in helping others especially those individuals who needs medical attention.

must be consulted for me not to mislead myself. My mistake before was that I have listened to a physician who didn’t specialize in internal medicines which do really affect the diagnoses. I hope this will serve as another learning that we need to be careful in choosing our physicians.

W.E.B stands for Water, Exercise and Balanced Diet. A gnemonic will be a great tool in memorizing these three essential tools to have a health lifestyle. I am challenging myself right now to drink and exceed the standard water intake of an adult, have an exercise even 5-10 mins. a day, and eat a balanced meal.

Plus...

Because of our unhealthy environment and unhealthy living right now, it is always to bridge the gap especially the gap of nutrition in terms of our food intake. I just learnt this before that food supplements are the best way to bridge that gap. However, we must be careful in taking food supplements since there are many supplement products in the market right now. Let’s do first our intensive research before taking products since the result of those will greatly affect our whole system in the near future.

Friends, all of the information given were based on my own experiences and confirmed facts were being extracted from the sites below. I hope I could also hear your words for us to unite in spreading awareness to everyone in terms of health consiousness/education. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the comment box below.

To serve as a disclaimer: I am not a health enthusiast and I am not promoting a health institution, a physician, and a product. My main goal in writing this is to again, give health awareness.
