TIP OF THE DAY
How to be more aware of your health

You have a mind of your own. Doctors can't know everything. Perhaps some people trust doctors a little too much. They expect miracles and then blame the doctors when things turn out to be less than what they imagined. That's not fair to you or the doctor.
So here are a few simple things to keep in mind when you are dealing with medical issues

1. Listen to your body. It's always sending you signal. If it doesn't "feel right" then it's time to re-evaluate your options.

2. Get a third and fourth opinion on major diagnosis. For example, your doctor tells you that you have cancer. Confirm with another physician.

3. Research your medical situation. The internet is packed with information. Go to discussion groups about your medical issue. Go to websites. Print out journals. Dig Deep. Why be in the dark about what's happening with your body? This is your life!

4. Ask your doctor questions. This is why you pay the doctor. If he or she is worth anything, he or she will be happy to answer your questions and give you ways to find out more information. Some doctors use a sliding-scale fee system. They will charge more if you ask more questions. Find out the cost before your consultation.

5. If your doctor gets offended or displays an overly-negative reaction towards your questions, find another doctor. You need a doctor in whom you can place your confidence.

TIPS:
Do regular relaxation exercises.
This is simply closing your eyes in a comfortable position and breathing deeply while clearing your mind of any thoughts. This does not have to take long, five minutes can be sufficient.
