Good Lifestyle

This is the next day Christmas while I write this and 2021 is just around the corner. As a doctor, I know that in this brand the new year, things will be very different. How do we know? Because we know much more now on the coronavirus, and if we all pull together, we can do good things. If there was always a time to do and keep actually, your resolutions of your new year, this is it. We all want life to become normal, is not it? Here are some ideas about what you can do in 2021-to, quite literally, go back to the future! Read on and ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

The best thing you can do for yourself and for those you love is to have Covid vaccine. You can be confused about what you have read and heard. Here are some key points:

• Covid vaccine is safe and effective. None ofmythsYou have heard are true.
• The vaccine is our only way to control the propagation of the virus. If at least 80% of the population is vaccinated (a prevention, but around there), this will confer the immunity of the flock and will stop the virus in its tracks. By being vaccinated, you help protect yourself, family and friends that you like, as well as the wider community, especially old, sick, fragile and vulnerable. You also help health services, support your local community and strengthen economic prosperity.
• If you want life again to the normality - how it was - getting vaccinated.
• If you are concerned about the vaccine, talk to your doctor, do not believe false information on the Internet. Do not commit the mistake of not being vaccinated.

Do not stop wearing yourfacial mask. Do not think that the vaccine is here. On the contrary, expand an affiliation for your facial mask: wear it and wear it with pride.

It will take several months to vaccinate the entire United States. Meanwhile, the virus will always spread. The only way to control is to stay at home when possible, follow the rules regarding social distance and handwashing, and when you have to go out, wear a mask.

It has been shown that masks reduce the spread of Covid infections. The mask port helps prevent the diffusion of breathing droplets that we naturally versed when breathing, talking, laughing, coughing, crimping, singing and screaming. There is now a lot of research to justify that.

It's easy to conclude if you are young, fit and healthy, that Covid-19 infection will not be a problem for you. But you can become infected very easily. Pretty real, young people are much more likely to have a light disease or even no symptoms, but here is the thing you risk capturing the post-coovid syndrome, which can leave you with fatigue, migraines and others Horrible symptoms for possibly a life. And you also risk infecting other people. In fact, you could even become a headgear.

You are the most infectious and likely to broadcast the virus early in infection, and often when you do not have symptoms, so you will absolutely not know that it happens.

Many cases have been reported, where people infected unconsciously, have infected a large number of others. And many people you infected could be older, fragile, weak or immune and immunized and much more likely to have a serious illness or die of infection.

A Boston Medical Conference inFebruary 20, 2020At the beginning of the pandemic, led to 99 people who attended positive tests immediately after the event. Since then, 300,000 people have been positive tested with the same viral strain in 29 different states and other countries. These cases were counting 1.6% of the total number of US cases.

If only this, an indexed patient not announced had not attended the conference! It could have been you or me. Here is the message - stay at home unless it's needed. Why not attend an online conference instead? Whenever you break the rules, there could be catastrophic consequences.

The pandemic will not disappear suddenly. One thing for sure, the more we follow all the rules, the more the day will come faster.

It's even harder now than at the beginning because we are all fed up and suffering frompandemic fatigue. The virus wreaked havoc on our lives and many people are anxious, depressed and feel discouraged. Remember the vaccine - as I said before - is the gold ticket! But it will take several months to vaccinate the entire American population and, unless we are trying even stronger, more and more deaths will follow.

So, right now, is the moment to take a deep breath, to put your point of view on the future and commit to doing things even better than you were previously. If you define a good example, you will be surprised how many friends and neighbors will follow the costume.

• Everything starts with aoptimistic And this indomitable human spirit!
• Time for even moreHand wash, social distancing and mask. Get the kids involved and ask them to remind you if you forget at any stadium. Do these second-nature shares, because we will not be able to stop doing them soon.
• Time tostay at home and be patient. We can anticipate a certain normality returning later this year, as the effects of the defined vaccination campaign. Let's wait for impatience.
• Stay informed and stick to the rules when new guidelines are issued.
• Treat yourMental Health. It is normal to feel anxious, stressed and depressed right now - but look for help. Try respiratory exercises every day and practice relaxation and meditation.
• Continue to exercise. Exercise is a good way to cope with stress, helps promote feelings of calm and relaxation, and also increases levels of endorphins, lifting your mood.
• Be kind - Not only for others, but for yourself. You would be surprised how self-compassion can benefit from your health. If things do not go as planned, do not be fighting about it, agree that none of us are perfect, learn from experience and try to do it better next time. People who have self-compassion listen and better comply with health advice than those who do not do it.

An alcohol68%Americans did not write their will. Bucket As it may seem, it's now the time to make sure you have a will. If you are unlucky enough to be infected by Covid-19, you are likely to be too sick for this to be done in a hurry.

If you die without will, your estate will normally move to your spouse. This can be desirable for many married couples, but for other households, this can be inappropriate and lead to the difficulty, expenses and upset, to challenge the will in court.

It's time to organize. After your death, your family in distress does not need the added trauma of the search in your documents to try to find documentation.

In addition to your last will and your will, you may want to organize a desire for life and / or create a power of attorney.

• ATestament of life, is an anticipated directive that defines our wishes to refuse treatment if you become incapacitating and you are not unable to make these decisions for yourself. This can be very detailed.
• Aproxyis a legal document allowing one or more lawyers to make decisions on your behalf such as your personal care, your financial arrangements and your property.

You may need to encourage other members of your family or close friends to do the same.
