Essential health tips that doctors want you to know

In a Reddit thread that has become viral with over 40,000 comments, health professionals have shared what they would like everyone to know about their own bodies, as well as health care tips that everyone should integrate into one's lifestyle.

"Many simpler diseases in the body can be compared to a car," said a doctor. "When you do not have regular checkups and you do not take care regularly, it's not like you notice that something serious is happening right away." Just like you will not notice a change of oil missed a few thousand kilometers later.But diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, alcohol dependence, etc., they guide you all.As afterwards, this engine does not will not work as well. "

"You will often feel normal even with high blood pressure," agreed another. "We often find it by chance, so do not wait until it gives you symptoms that you do not want to live on." They advised people over 35 to have their blood pressure checked at least once a year.

In addition to proactively monitoring our own health, physicians also advise us to refresh our family medical history, as this can play an extremely important role in the diagnosis and prevention of disease.

"Prevention is becoming increasingly important in medicine, and treating a disease in its infancy is much better than catching it late," said a comment. "If you have family members with ovarian or colon cancer in their thirties, this is very important for your own risk.The screening and testing we perform may change, this If you want to start the pill, it is important that you know what you are bad cancer, DVT, clotting disorders in the family If you are a little overweight and you do not have syndrome syndrome in the family, compare it to a bit overweight, but both parents have type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, management priorities are changing, and your family is dealing with recurring illnesses or early illnesses ( 20, 30, or even 40) may be useful. "

Elsewhere, doctors who know how expensive health care can be, want to help patients save money by keeping them away from unnecessary or downright false habits, such as detox products. "Your kidneys and your liver gladly eliminate all the toxins you need," said a comment, adding, "Cleansing products and other" detoxifying "products are pure madness and waste of money. who sells them are predators worry about your money becoming theirs. "Others have confirmed, with a recently qualified doctor:" Unless you have liver or kidney failure, your body really detoxifies well. "Do not get ripped off by these detox teas and others! "
