Why Preventive Healthcare Deserves More Attention - SCIFIMULTIVERSE PROMPT WEEK 81 EDITION 2

We are now in an era where people get to maintain their car, their laptop, update their PC, their smart gadgets and everything without even touching their health. And that's a very wrong habit. Many people have this.

Immediately our tools, maybe a car or phones or stuff like that have any problem. Or start making an unusual sound. Immediately on that same day, we know how to take it to the nearest technician or mechanic to fix for us.

But if it's your health, you want to procrastinate it tomorrow, or find a temporary pain reliever that will relieve you of the pain for just that day. Some people will even slip it off. Some people will tell themselves that they will take a cold bath and shower, then the next day is going to be fine.

Which they will never do if it is their phone gadget. Whenever our body breaks down, it is sending a message to us that something is wrong. And the reply many people give their health is to just say, I'll be fine.

No, you won't. And if you continue like that before you know it, one day you will not be fine. Many people immediately are serious when their health becomes very terrible.

But when it is still a negligible something that can still be treated or taken good care of, they won't even look that way. We are waiting for pain for the symptoms to show fully. We are waiting for the problem to become fully aware to the point that it interferes with our daily life.

Especially those times that you don't know what is wrong and things are so terrible that you can't even go out for an entire day, maybe two days and three days. That's when people now remember that it is high time they go to the hospital. By that time, the deed is done and things have gone very bad.

The question I've always wanted to ask a lot of people is, why are you waiting for fire before checking whether there is smoke? That's a very wrong way to live. Regular medical assessments should be done at every point in time. Either you have a headache or not.

Either you are feeling fine or not, you should regularly check yourself. And this is one of the things that makes people to live longer. With this, any bad things can easily be detected as fast as possible.

The fear of discovering something that is wrong at an early stage in this part of the world is what is making a lot of people to stay away from checkups. And it is well understandable if that is the case. Nobody wants to hear bad news about their health.

Everybody wants something that is good. Everybody wants to hear that they are fine. Nobody wants to hear the word cancer.

But information is better than guessing. It is better you know and you take care of things than to guess. And in a few months or a year, you are in hot soup.

The Christian perspective is not really helping the matter because we are praying against bad things every day. And that fear will not let us to go through preventive medicine. We want to pray it over and make the devil get out of our lives.

The truth is you only have one body so that body has to be well taken care of. And prevention is not only about hospitals or doctor. Sometimes it comes with just a little checkup here and there and you will be fine.

It can even come with taking a long walk every morning to reduce your cholesterol and the fat in your body. Getting enough sleep, eating better food, drinking more water and practicing good hygiene. It is not all the time that it is the hospital, drugs and tablets with injections and the likes.

Sometimes you just have to maintain a very good habit when it comes to overall health. And you have to pay attention to things all around you. If something does not feel right, let people around you know and go to the nearest place for checkup to know one thing or the other that might be wrong.

We can spend the years upon years building our career, our profession, businesses, houses and all that while we are and the body is cracking down as time goes on. What is not the essence of building your business, your career and you don't even have a good health to live to live it when the fruit of all your labor shall show. Money can replace many things.

A broken phone, you can buy a new one, a broken laptop, a broken car. There is always many in the market but you can't see a storehouse or a warehouse where they sell body parts. No, it does not exist.

So you have just one body and that one body you have to take care of it very well. There are some things that money cannot buy. Your whole body is part of them, including the organs in your body.

So you have to pay attention and stop guessing. Prevention may not feel urgent today. I agree but that's precisely the point of all this.

Take efforts to prevent things from going south. Take care of your health at all times.
