Being Healthy Not Sickly
>> Monday, February 16, 2009
What does it take to be healthy? But before we can achieve that state we might as well define what is health. According to "World Health Assembly" health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.
I think it is also essential to know the definition of disease, since the presence of any disease would mean one is unhealthy. Disease is an abnormal condition that impairs bodily functions associated with specific symptoms and signs. It is caused maybe by external organisms or it may also be an internal dysfunction. It is often associated with pain, discomfort, dysfunction, disease and the worst death. And sometimes in broader sense it may also include injury, disability, disorders, syndromes and infections.
As a Allied Health worker I deal with people who are mostly physically unhealthy. I am prone and very much susceptible to acquiring diseases from people I encounter everyday. So I am required to not only make sure that patients get the proper treatment but also to take preventive measures and protection for my own health safety.
Ever since I was a little child my mom would always have a hard time making me take my medicines. Something that I have not grown out of. I don't even take vitamins or any supplements which is why when I started I became very sickly. That's only when I decided that maybe its time for me to change my childish ways. I have learned to take vitamins and food supplements and thank God I have not been sick since then.
The food supplements I am taking were actually referred to me by my co-worker. She told me it is what she has been taking and she can vouch for it. And since she knew that I am constipated most of the time she made me try Puritan's Pride Colon Cleanser. The product helped me move my bowel regularly. It has herbs extract from Psyllium Seed Husk, Casgara Sagrada, Buckhorn Bark and Aloe Vera Leaf. It also contains lactobacillus and acidophilus. Aside from taking care of my bowel I am also now taking care of my heart by taking Omega 3 from fish oils. It does not only keep my heart healthy but also helps in proper cellular and metabolic functions healthy.
