Health insurance does not guarantee you health assurance— only taking responsibility for your health will assure optimal health. Whether or not you're sick and injured trying to become well, or you're well trying to remain well, the keystone piece of the health equation is YOU! When faced with a significant health challenge, the simplest, most logical, least invasive approach is usually the best place to start!
However, if you do require the help of a doctor or healthcare professional to help restore your health, make sure to choose one that will help teach you how to care for yourself. The word doctor, from the Latin words docere or doctoris, means “to teach” or “teacher”.
Although emergency life-saving procedures are sometimes needed to preserve or restore health, the more you cut out bad habits, the less you will have to cut out and possibly replace bad body parts!
Each day, be your own best health advocate. Perform your own daily “life-saving procedures” by living as healthfully as possible. This is the best way to ensure your best health!
