Hey, it's Mariel.
A lot of us treat our bodies like they're our employees.
You know, they work for us.
And when they don't work for us, we get mad.
We say mean things about them.
We're frustrated.
We're disappointed.
The way I see it, though, our bodies don't work for us.
They work with us.
And if we want to give them the best chance
at doing that, we have to take care of them to give them regular attention so they can support us.
Now, I need to do a quick plug here for going to the doctor.
Make sure you're getting your annual physicals and checking in with your health care providers as needed.
Because as we know, a podcast is not the same as professional medical advice.
But beyond that, we want to help you take care of your bodies.
So on this episode, Life Kit reporter Andy Tegel has put together some of our favorite health tips from head to toe.
