Halloo,
Health Is More Than Wealth!
I am sure we all agree with this? all aspects of our health are of very great importance.
I love talking about mental health not because my physical health is not important but because many people, especially those from my African community, do not place as much importance on mental health as they do physical health.
Despite knowing how important physical health is some of us are still taking a lot for granted. I still see people who do not take preventive measures to safeguard their health. There are also those who ignore warning signs and keep praying that these problems will go away instead of seeking medical help. These attitudes are turning what could have been corrected in the early stages into life-threatening problems. Let’s help ourselves live a long healthy life by taking care of ourselves better.
I have learned as I grow older not to push through my pains and take unnecessary risks. I am not out to kill myself trying to prove that I am physically stronger than I really am. So many people have killed themselves or caused great damage to themselves by ignoring warning signs given to them by their body. Stopping to listen to your body is actually a sign of strength.
I want to remain fit for as long as possible. With my history with fibromyalgia, that is a real tall order. But, I am willing to work for it and make the necessary changes. I try not to avoid listening to my body as much as possible. Listening to my body helps me a lot.
There are many symptoms that make life tougher for those of us with fibromyalgia. These include constant pain, muscle stiffness, forgetfulness, fatigue, poor sleep pattern, depression, and anxiety. The list goes on.
I am not different from most people, fibromyalgia or not. We will all rather ignore potential health problems for as long as possible. But there is a huge danger in that.
Be vigilant. Don’t ignore any changes in your body. Let the professionals check it out.
As I age my immune system is not as strong as it used to be. I can see signs in the way things that hardly affect me before now doing so. The cold that I usually shake off in 2 days takes longer to leave. Of course, there may be other reasons why these may be happening, but the underlining thing is not to take anything for granted.
Not all serious health problems show obvious symptoms in the early days, some may be so subtle that we may ignore them as nothing serious. Please, please, please just go have any changes you noticed checked as soon as possible. Hopefully, it will be nothing or something that can be fixed quickly.
