When to Seek Medical Help for a UTI
Could your abdominal pain be related to a urinary tract infection (UTI)? This common bacterial infection can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
It’s a new month, but according to the astronomical calendar, spring won’t arrive until March 20. So ladies, while it is still winter, you might as well begin organizing your spring now.
At Medinet Family Care Clinic in southwest Houston, we suggest starting your year now instead of the dead of winter. Start with spring so you can continue your better and healthier life throughout the four seasons.
Here are some steps to make your life healthier:
Winter is the beholder of food-craving months, which are typically unhealthy. The Big Three: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. You’ve indulged in heavy eating and desserts galore, and possibly a little too much wine (ladies, we’ve been there ). So now that the start of new life is right around the corner, let’s start to change the way we eat and drink (at least to a healthy amount). Make the decision to eat more fruits and vegetables. Less red meats. Perhaps more fish. More water and fewer sugary drinks. In fact, what about making sugary drinks a specialty drink, something just for special occasions. It’s a proven fact that if you switch out your soft drinks for water, the pounds will shed. Another positive aspect of dieting right is that it will give you the energy you need to do more, which leads us to our second step.
Exercise is one thing. But if you don’t like it, then you most likely won’t continue doing it. That’s why we recommend getting outside. Go for a nice walk. With the weather how it is during March, it is the best time to go for that walk or jog. It isn’t too hot, like it will be in the summer. Now you’re probably thinking, “But if the summer will be too hot to go outside, then what’s the point in starting now?” Good question. We believe that if you start now and turn your morning, afternoon, or evening walk into a habit, then you will make sure you set aside time to go for that walk. And not just any time, you’ll want to continue your habit so much that you’ll schedule the proper times to go for that walk when it isn’t nearly as hot (mornings are obviously best – sometimes before 9 or 9:30; we know it gets hot quick in Houston). A good diet and exercise regimen will do wonders for you, especially when you come see us, which leads to our third and final step.
