If you told me to stop worryng about Nigeria, my country, I ll probably tell you its not going to happen. How did we get to this point exactly, today I saw an image highlighting the track of events of how the naira has depreciated over time, leading to so much commotion here.

If there is any one Health tip I want to share with you all today, it is to live within your means. People have created far more worse problems than the general one just because they tried creating a life they were not ready for.

People have to really cut on their excessive expenses in other to channel the resources they have to more meaningful use.

Your body needs money for real, but let it be for the needful, not for the none expedient ones.

Why am I sounding like this?

As a Doctor in the practice I see patients with several conditions who crave health but really do not want to pay for their own healthy living.

Healthy living is a daily practice. what you eat, drink, where you go, the kind of people you relate with are all part of the kind of health you have.

There may never be a better health tip to share than tell you prevention is better than cure and for you to prevent disease you need to be aware of what it is, what leads to it, and what to do to prevent it.
Now in a country where drugs are get far out of the reach of the poor because the bad economic climate has scared of many pharmas away, this brings the toll of death upwards. People are really suffering and if the worse happens the Doctors are not even enough to cater for it.

Please take good care of yourselves out there. Cherish your health while you still have and build health consciousness. If you lose your health, you very lost all, or maybe you go to heaven, but it better be time for that.

Live within your means and have a health insurance. Make savings for your future family, spouse and even children. Don't say you ll get to the bridge and cross it. Start planning it.

A quick story
One day while I was on call at a hospital in Ibadan, at 10 pm, a pregnant woman in labour showed up, she was rejected from another hospital because she didn't have money, on arrival I had attended to them. They say I should just help them deliver the baby, that they don't have money. I couldn't hold my tears and anger at the same time.

9 MONTHS and you couldn't plan for child birth.

9 MONTHS, no savings for when your baby will be born.

They where well clothed, not like they lived on the street.

The Hospital had policies, at least a deposit needed to be made, we all face the husband to try to raise a fund. It wasn't funny, we didn't know how long they had spent in the previous hospital. But time was Going. This woman eventually had to deliver through surgery. The moral of the story is. There is no Abraham waiting for the day of trouble to help you. Having a health insurance is so life saving and also saves your pocket.
There are several insurance packages anyone can be a part of with small payment every month. Some cover surgeries of family members and relatives. This can go a long way to relieve the huge sum of money that could be swallowed on a sudden occurrence, God forbid.

On this note, I ll say, live within your means, have a solid health insurance savings plan and stay healthy every day.
