Touch wood, I like to think that I have lead a relatively healthy life up to this point. I like to eat healthily for the majority of the time and look back on some of the choices I made when I was a young adult and cringe at the fact that I did at one point smoke cigarettes. Apart from routine check-ups it is fairly rare for me to need to see a doctor. Working with children I like to think that I have a fairly strong immune system. If I do feel as though my throat is getting a bit scratchy I will make a big batch of vegetable soup and drink lots of freshly made juices and that seems to do the tricky.
My emotional health has probably got a lot stronger in my late 20’s and 30’s. Often I feel like my friends turn to me when they are going through …show more content…
I feel like I might jinx myself but it fairly rare that I take sick days from work. Last year I lost my voice so I took three days off because a teacher without a voice is not very useful. Ben did a great job of looking after me and would text when leaving his work to check if I needed anything picked up. (He wouldn’t call because I couldn’t talk!)
I feel that smoking is now a very anti-social habit and not one of my extended family or close friends smoke. There are so many known health issues that I actually feel sorry for anyone that is addicted to smoking. In terms of alcohol intake it would be fairly rare that I drink during the week. On the weekend when catching up with friends or family I will enjoy some champagne or wine and when on holidays I like trying new cocktails.
My thoughts about un-prescribed drugs is that they can be very dangerous and risky. Having worked at a medical centre I have seen what drug abuse can do to people’s lives and it impacts negatively every aspect. There is a reason that people abuse any type of drug and it might because they want to escape their reality. Then the cycle of addiction can take over and they prioritise their drug of choice over everything else. I think it is important to try and help such people get through the physical symptoms but importantly they need help emotionally and to work through why they started using drugs in the first
