Who is your political candidate and health tips!

Hi Everyone,

Here are some health tips to consider...

- Keep a record of your medical history: conditions, dates of operations, treatments, names of doctors, their recommendations, etc. If your parents have already started a record for you, you can add to it.

- Make your own medical appointments and order your own supplies.

- Practice anticipatory appointment setting. If you start to feel sick, make an appointment with your doctor for a few days later. That way, if you do become sick, you won't have to wait for your appointment. But if you get better before your scheduled appointment, be sure to cancel the appointment right away!

- Insist that your health care team members talk to you about your results. When they call you with your test results (especially blood results) ask the office to send you a copy of your test results. Or ask them when you are in the office for your follow-up appointment for a copy of the results.

- As your body changes, make changes in your diet. Keep an appropriate weight for your mobility and general health.

- Develop an exercise pattern for yourself.

- Get involved in sports. They'll help you stay physically fit, and give you a chance to socialize with new friends.

- Take good care of your mental health. Take time for hobbies, movies, shopping, and other things you enjoy. Ask your health professionals for more information on topics related to mental health, such as self-esteem, confidence, depression, and sexuality.

On a different note...Copy the link below to your browser to see what candidate goes with your presidential values and desires. Just click on start and answer some questions. The results will tell you who you are most aligned to and who holds the issues further from you. If you do it and tell me who you ended up with, I will tell you my results. It may surprise you.
