Are you MANAGING DISEASE or CREATING HEALTH? What's the difference?
➡️ Managing disease focuses on alleviating symptoms and controlling disease progression. The goal is to keep the condition stable, prevent worsening, and minimize complications. It involves:
✅Taking medications.
✅Getting surgeries/procedures.
✅Monitoring disease symptoms (e.g., blood sugar checks for diabetes, blood pressure checks for hypertension).
➡️ Creating health is a proactive approach to treat a disease and prevent future resurgence by fostering healthy lifestyles, promoting well-being, and creating supportive environments. The goal is to eliminate disease, optimize body function, improve vitality, and promote longevity. It involves:
✅ Improving nutrition by consuming healthy and nutrient dense foods.
✅ Engaging in regular physical activity (running, swimming, dancing, cycling, lifting weights, playing football, etc.).
✅ Improving sleep quality.
✅ Stress reduction (mindfulness meditation, relaxation, etc.).
✅ Embracing social connection & purpose.
For Example:
If you have high blood pressure, managing disease involves taking blood pressure medication, while creating health involves consuming a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical exercise, managing stress through meditation, reducing weight, limiting and eventually eliminating alcohol, and improving sleep quality.
