1. Taking Care of Yourself Post-Pandemic: Urgent Care Hawaii tips for Check-Ups (Urgent Care Hawaii, Urgent Care Pearl City)

2. Navigating the COVID-19 pandemic has made this past year a very different and hectic time for everyone around the world. • As we finally approach the end of the pandemic with the continued rollout of the vaccine, it’s a good time to take a look at your health outside of COVID. • Maybe you haven’t gone to your regular yearly exams, or maybe you’ve picked up some unhealthy habits. • These are understandable during these stressful times, and you shouldn’t feel bad about it.

3. Be loving to yourself, and begin taking the steps to get back on track with healthy living. • Here are some healthy tips from Urgent Care Hawaii:

4. Schedule your yearly exams • If you haven’t seen a doctor for a physical and a check-up in the past year, you can schedule one with our Urgent Care centers in Pearl City, Kailua, Kapolei, and Ana Moana! • This is a good time to bring up any concerns you’ve had with your health in the past year, and to potentially find anything negative with your health early on. • Seeing a dentist and optometrist is also important, as well as any other exams for health conditions you may have.

5. Often overlooked exams to schedule are cancer screening exams, but these can be extremely important. • Getting a yearly mammogram, colonoscopy, or other screenings can help catch cancer in its early stages, when it’s most treatable. • If you start feeling overwhelmed with trying to fit exams into your schedule, they don’t have to happen all at once! Plan your visits in advance, and give yourself time in between them. • And if you are worried about in-person exams, schedule a telemedicine visit with Urgent Care Hawaii, where you can meet with a doctor over the phone or internet!

6. Get back in touch with a healthier lifestyle • A very common struggle is trying to get on a healthy diet and exercise schedule. • Not only can it be hard to know what changes to make, but it can feel even worse if you don’t initially meet all your expectations for yourself. • It’s important to remember that most people struggle with it, and the best way to approach it is by taking small steps. • For getting on a better diet, focus more on how much you’re eating rather than jumping into a whole new diet.

7. Smaller meals that have less carbohydrates and more fruits and vegetables will go a long way. • For exercising, try setting weekly goals like doing half an hour of exercise a few times a week, and find exercises you enjoy doing! • Getting around 150 minutes of exercise a week is where you want to be, so try working up to that over time by starting with 60 or 90 minutes. • Make sure you’re also on a good sleep schedule, as a good night’s sleep can really help you tackle the day ahead. • Taking 20 minute breaks during the day to nap or rest can also help give you energy and manage stress.

8. Wrapping Up • Change takes time, especially when it comes to personal health. • The key to making change and staying healthy is to be kind and loving to yourself during this time. • A positive and caring mindset is important for your mental health, and when your mind is healthy you’ll be able to keep your body healthy more easily. • Remember to take action in getting examined, and take small steps in your personal life towards a healthier lifestyle.
