Health care begins at home before the need to see a health professional. This type of health care is Self Care provided by you, it involves the decisions you make about your health.
Self Care will continue at home after seeing a health professional. Health care is necessary with our without medical intervention.
Self Care?
Self Care is Health Care at home, provided by you to protect your health from sickness and death or to improve quality of life.
If you are providing self care you are receiving health care at home. If you are not providing self care you are not receiving health care round the clock.
Self care, unlike medical care is preventative. Since prevention is better than cure, self care is most important to protect our health from disease and premature deaths.
Self care will reduce the need for medical care. Self Care will give you control of your health care costs and reduce medical expenses.
Just as a medical doctor builds his medical practice, we need to build a Self Care Practice. Just as medical personnel receive education and training to provide health care, we need education to provide our self care.
We can all build a self care practice through consumer health education.
Just as medical doctors are equipped with medical Toolkits, to be successful self care providers, we need a Self Care ToolKit. A self care toolkit is stocked with preventative self care tools. Unlike medical care the use of these tools must become part of our lifestyle and habits.
.
What are some of these tools?
Your First Health Insurance Plan
Chronic disease prevention habits
Self care activities
Disease management tools(for those with existing diseases)
You can learn how to build your own self care toolbox. Our consumer health education would guide you as to what to put in it, what to focus on and how often to use the tools in it.
Our consumer health education will show you how to keep your toolbox clean and how to be your first health insurance.
