Health is very important thing in our life. We have to protect good health and we should be grateful if we have a good health.
I think that we should lead a healthy lifestyle. It means to eat the right breakfast every day. We have to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and not to drink so much alcohol. And also we shouldn’t smoke.
If we don´t suffer from obesity we should do some sport. I often ride a bike and I like playing ball games.
Medical care of any type in our country isn’t free of charge, but there are also many private doctors. We must pay for prescriptions or for some medicines.
If we fall ill or if we have an accident, we go to the Health Centre, Policlinic, hospital or to some Private Doctor. There are various types of medical treatment for our different types of troubles.
A doctor may ask you to strip to the waist before he examines your chest and throat. They check our blood pressure, feel the pulse or put our blood or urine through lab-tests. Sometimes they may X-ray our lungs or bones. We must go through many types of vaccination during our lives. Dentists may check our teeth and sometimes pull out one of them or drill and fill them. For older people they sometimes fit bridges on their teeth or make dentures.
Doctors usually prescribe some medicines to us - pills, antibiotics, gargles, eye wash, ointments, sleeping pills or tell us to go on a diet. After operations, scars remain on our bodies.
There are various types of physicians who treat various diseases and disorders. They are GP (general practitioners), dentists, surgeons, interns, oculists, pediatricians, gynecologists, psychiatrists, dermatologists, ear and throat specialists, orthopedic specialists etc. Each person should undergo a regular check-up at least once a year.
However we usually go to see our doctor when we do not feel well or have a temperature. We can suffer from various illnesses beginning with common children diseases such as: measles, chickenpox, mumps, scarlet-fever and otitis. Usually we suffer from common infections such as cold, runny nose, sore throat, cough, head ache, stomach ache, flu, diarrhea, constipation, tonsillitis, etc. In such cases we usually stay in bed, drink herbal teas, take pills, drops or vitamins and after a week we feel well again.
However the situation may sometimes be more serious and need special treatment in the hospital for instance heart attack, appendicitis, breaking an arm or leg, animal or snake bite, bleeding, poisoning, unconsciousness or in the case of some real dangerous diseases such as tuberculosis, anemia, pneumonia, leukemia, diabetes, hepatitis, etc. The doctors´ care must be very attentive because human life is in danger. It is enough to say that there are still diseases which cannot be cured such as cancer or AIDS.
It´s true that prevention is better than a cure. In other words, the best way to cure yourself of a disease is not to catch it. We should try to live a healthy way of life, which means we should have a good proportion of work to leisure time, between our sleep and up time, to keep our mental state in order.
