What can I do to help myself?

A common theme I will spend more time with later in this curriculum. An overview would include:

1 Avoid harmful habits:

Toxic habits such as smoking, excess alcohol, lack of consistent, intelligent exercise, stress and malnutrition.

Not creating and following a "medical calendar" including dental, eye, and basic medical monitoring checks.

Not responding to any changes in your body that might be early warning signs of illness.

2 Build healthy habits:

Establish health goals embracing the above issues

Develop a comfortable and honest relationship with an healthcare provider you have rapport with

Do a yearly "SWOT" analysis [ strength, weakness, opportunities and threats ] - more about this later
