Listen to your body!

Listen To Your Body! Remember when a watch was just a watch? It would tell the time, maybe the date, you might have even been able to play a simple video game. In fact, a spin-off of the watch, often called ‘wearable technology’, can tell you how many steps you’ve walked, your mileage, heart rate, water intake, and even track your sleep.

Pay Attention Pay attention and listen to what your body is telling you! Our bodies have been designed to communicate with our brain when something is wrong. This is the function of pain. Don’t ignore it. Write Down and Keep Track Write down any ache, pain, or sleep disruption you experience and keep an accurate record of it in a notebook or chart. Investigate Listening isn’t enough; you have to investigate your symptoms. If you have pain in your neck, and don’t bother to look into it, there is little point in paying attention to begin with. Research You don’t have to wait for the doctor; start some preliminary research on your own. If you don’t have any medical books, the internet can help you explore some of your symptoms and the possible causes. Don’t just use one source; find several websites that you trust. Self-Examination Once a month, do a quick self-examination and check for lumps or irregularities in your body. It doesn’t take long and could potentially be important to your health. Don’t Fall Into the Rabbit Hole Tracking your own symptoms is very beneficial, but there can be a downside if you aren’t careful and keep a steady head. iCare Home Health is one of the top-notch health care agencies in Mississauga and Toronto.
