Medical Tips to Live By on Tough Times

leave a comment »

Keeping yourself healthy and strong is necessary especially when costs of medicines and medical care continue to rise.

Here are some health tips:

1. Take tabs of your children’s vaccinations and medical check-ups. Get your necessary flu shots, vaccines and other screening tests. I suggest once a year papsmear for women over 35.

2. Befriend a doctor. I actually manage to save time and expense keeping abreast with my children’s pediatrician. I sometimes text my doctor whenever I get some confusing symptoms and immediate advice is needed. But I only do this when necessary

3. Keep a reliable health book on your bedside. I have a reliable health which usually comes in handy when confused with several symptoms. I like checking my health books before calling the doctor.

4. If you are okay with generic medicines, then you are actually saving more just taking them, however, there are a vast of fake drugs lurking everywhere, so if you want to go generic, buy them from reliable drug stores.

5. Lastly, exercise and exercise. And if you are a smoker, ditch the stick and start the year anew.
