RE: Why Do I Hurt: The Importance of Massage
Practice meditation + massage + fitness everyday can prevents so many deceases.
We should do it as we take shower or brush our teeth as hygiene habbit.
We send car to the garage every 1 or 2 years to avoid problems and maintain the sutainability of the machine but we hardly do the same with our body.
Car maintenance is an excellent analogy for how we should be doing similar tune ups for the body, @damarth. Yes, proper care can greatly enhance health! We too feel that massage should be treated as a necessity and that is ideally done every day rather than a once in a time luxury.
One should also take regular blood tests, at least yearly, to keep track of certain health markers that you wouldn't want outside reference ranges. Some examples would be vitamin D (VERY common to be deficient in vit D), HDL, LDL, iron, electrocytes and markers directly related to organ functions. Blood pressure is also a very big one that a lot of people take for granted. There are so many things that affect blood pressure both positively and negatively, so one should really keep an eye on it.
I totally agree we could avoid so many decease if we try more to anticipate problems instead of waiting them to declare.
Modern medecine is so focus to handle the consequence and no to treat the cause.
We also like to invest money in goods but not so much in health wich is ridiculous.
That's because modern medicine is highly reliant on income. What would doctor's and pharmacies do if people weren't sick anymore?
I completely agree, we spend so much money on materialistic things, but not our own body. In the same way, we learn so much about everything around us, but very little about our own bodies and how they work. It's a disgrace.
