A Lokoja-based Pharmacist, simply known as “Pharm.Gift”,has advised members of the public on the need to give priority to the concept of self care to ensure their healthy living.
In her daily health tips on her Whatsapp platform on Thursday in Lokoja, titled,”TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF” ,a copy of which is available to The Reporters, the pharmacist said:
“The only person that loves you regardless is YOU, take care of yourself now that you can.
It is not a crime to take care of your family i.e your children and husband/wife.
Take care of yourself too, is very important.
Take time to have enough sleep and rest, which is very good for your mental health .
Take time to make good friend and good memories, go outing, take a break from work, have a relaxation and a quiet time for yourself.
Take time to go for medical checkup at least once in a year.
If you die today, your children will still move on, your wife will still move on, your husband will still move on, your beloved ones will still move on.
Take care of yourself today and tomorrow, show yourself some love, you deserve it.
Take care of yourself, find things that makes you happy, because science has proved that happiness hormones like serotonin and dopamine reduces Depression and Anxiety and makes you live longer.
Remember take out time and take care of yourself today.”
