We inherit bad genes and grow up in families that may not have been health minded. We fall in the river or get hit by a truck, but in the final analysis, we can do more to give ourselves good health than anything
going on outside of our bodies.
Being healthy or, if you’re health isn’t so good right now, healthier, is a great way to invest your time and other resources. It’s a do-it-yourself hobby that will give you endless satisfaction.
You’ll want to talk to your doctor about health concerns that bother you most. Consider your primary care
physician to be a ranking member of your health team, but don’t give away all of the responsibility.
You’re the one who needs to do the walking, make the diet changes, get the sleep you need, take necessary medication as prescribed, and follow the principles of good health.
That’s why we call it “DIY Health.”
