I've just finished listening to Post Captain by Patrick O'Brian. This is the book that follows Master and Commander, which I was introduced to by a Smithsonian article. If you're unfamiliar with Captain Jack Aubrey and his sidekick Dr. Stephen Maturin, you're missing out: What a great series! Along with all other aspects of life aboard ship, Jack is responsible for the health care of his men, very ably provided by his friend Stephen.
As Masters of our ships, we are responsible for our own health care (and anyone else riding along with us). And if we're sick and not working, that may be billable time lost. And getting sick does not help keeping our work and life in balance -- down time usually results in business crunch time. The Web, of course is a rich vein of resources on staying healthy. Here are a few to get you started.
Your Disease Risk. From the Harvard Center for Cancer Protection. Find out your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Your answers to a quick questionnaire will place you on a seven-level risk scale. The site then lists steps you should take to reduce your risk of the specific disease.
Headache Impact Test. Created by QualityMetric Inc., a company that creates and licenses health-care measurement tools.
Real Age. Based on the work of Dr. Michael Roizen, who has authored books on how to determine your real age based on exercise, what you eat, etc. This site has lots of nutrition and fitness information.
Med Info-Chip. This is a great tool, and a fantastic way to bring the power of USB technology to everyone. The Med Info-Chip holds your personal information, like your allergies, diseases, medications, past medical procedures, and emergency contacts. Your whole medical history is held on the 64 MB chip, or you can purchase the 128 MB model that will hold two medical histories. Slip it into your pocket, and you'll be covered.
We ought to care of our health.
