New York City, New York Jan 23, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - “Please let me be okay!” Even before we get our test results, we start bargaining... I’ll change, I’ll eat better, I’ll get more exercise, I’ll stop smoking and drinking. It’s a scary thing to confront cancer, heart disease and any other illness. Not to mention time-consuming, expensive and emotionally taxing. And when treatment fails, heartbreaking.
“Through prevention, early detection self-checks and wellness care, we can help reduce the odds of getting sick in the first place. Doing so can mean the difference between living a full and healthy life, suffering from illness, or dying too early, yet we often find lots of excuses: we’re too busy, we’re scared or convinced it won’t happen to us, or we’re just not comfortable doing a self-check” says Joan Peckolick, Founder and Director of Self chec.
“It’s time for our attitudes to change ~ easier said than done.
National Self-Check Month is a great time for people to sit down and talk with their children and other loved ones about health concerns, perform self-checks, and schedule wellness visits with healthcare professionals. During February, and all year long, people can also visit selfchec.org to access a variety of free self-empowering tools and resources. Free self-check reminders are available and a Caring Card Shoppe will help nudge loved ones to do the same. They can also continue to spread the word through #NationalSelfCheckMonth.
