In Conclusion
Nutrition is essential and the first step to preventing many chronic health problems. This episode also highlights preventative measures to stay healthy and know your body. We often focus on communicating effectively with others. However, can we also ensure that we communicate effectively with ourselves when it comes to our health, which is ultimately our own responsibility? As healthcare providers, we can often neglect our own health in the pursuit of caring for others. However, a healthier version of ourselves will enable us to care for others more effectively and for a longer period with quality health.
