In these covid periods, after almost a year of pandemic and care, it is very important not to lower your guard and not to lower your guard in all aspects. Days of leisure, rest or restful occupation come, and social distancing, hand washing and the use of masks are also essential to take care of your loved ones.
It is also essential to maintain a good diet, eat a balanced diet and exercise, because it undoubtedly increases our defenses and increases endorphins, which are substances that produce well-being.
Until a few days ago, I said “Stay home” and socialized this phrase as an emblem of health. Now, our invitation is this: Take care of yourself at home! In the coming weeks, everyone will definitely want to visit their relatives and make novenas and have emotional and gastronomic meetings around Christmas and the end of the year: please take care of yourself at home. Maintain biosecurity measures, embrace with your eyes and heart and express your affections with the appropriate social distance. It seems incredible, but the best expression of love for grandparents, parents, mothers, children, grandchildren, family and friends, is the distance even so close …
And taking care of yourself at home also has to do with preventing accidents that could happen around all the activities that take place at that time. Above all, take care of children and keep them away from hot liquids, such as water to make chocolate, tamales, coffee or tea, oil to make fritters, away from ovens and pans where cookies are cooked and cakes, away from lighted candles, fireplaces and campfires and away, away from fireworks and gunpowder.
In the unfortunate event that there are burns with gunpowder, hot liquids, electricity (decorative lights) or fire, do not forget to wash the affected area with plenty of water or saline, do not apply ointments or creams and go immediately to a medical service. expedite. Now that I’m talking about burns, I can’t ignore the recommendation not to be sunburned because it can cause skin cancer or burns that require medical attention. Getting a little sun a day is, of course, healthy and increases the vitamin D so needed by the human body, but only a little.
Welfare is my responsibility, yours and everyone’s. Welfare is so much appreciated that it has become one of the favorite gifts for various occasions and is no exception for Christmas. There are those who surprise their loved ones with gifts related to well-being and improving the quality of life and there are those who pamper themselves by offering well-being. But be very careful with these details so that they are really healthy and do not produce the opposite effect. This is the case of surgical and non-surgical procedures for aesthetic purposes, those that really contribute to physical, psychological, mental, emotional health. Our recommendation, from the Colombian Society of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, is to always consider and consider the suitability of the person to perform the procedure, to seek a specialist with the appropriate studies and training, to check if the place where The procedure is authorized by the competent authority, the patient must perform the indicated controls to determine possible risk factors and, finally, after establishing the medical approach to be followed, always follow the doctor’s instructions before and after the procedure. It should be noted that, depending on the region (due to covide involvement), it will be necessary, before cosmetic plastic surgery, to perform PCR tests before procedures to avoid risks for both patients and the medical team.
Health has always been a treasure and if we appreciate that treasure properly, we will act consistently. Let’s share it with our loved ones, take care of ourselves and help take care of others, that’s what it’s all about!
