Self-checks are essential for maintaining physical and emotional well-being, as they help us identify potential issues early on notes IslamiCity. For the general healthy population, we should check ourselves once or twice a month, addressing any issues that require attention.

Self-checks also help make connections between behaviors and their outcomes. Our body's organ systems are deeply connected, with everything being deeply connected. For example, our skin is an indicator of our hydration status, gut health, and hormonal changes. Energy levels tell a story about sleep patterns, emotional health, and food choices. Some practitioners, use these clues to understand the root cause of a patient's nutrition concerns.

Making self-checks a regular part of your routine can keep you in tune with your physical and emotional well-being, making it easier to sustain long-term well-being. Remember that the body also needs a breather, so give yourself time to relax and let go. This body we live in each day is an Amanah, a trust gifted to us in life, and it is incumbent upon us to take care of it. In turn, our best self is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves and the people closest to us.

But there is the harsh reality that not everyone can afford proper healthcare, that’s when HHRD comes in with our Healthcare & Nutrition Support Programs.
