Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to appreciate the technology we have in terms of our health!
This Years Upgrade
I always love getting a new gadget, and that's what we've been doing!
Getting older, we tend to enjoy different things then when we were younger. I think this is certainly a good thing, and it is a sign of maturity and changes in how we are experiencing life and all that. With us, we've definitely gone through these stages and are in a new stage right now: looking forward to our new medical gadgets!
The technological world we live in is absolutely a fascinating thing. There are so many benefits to the world that we are living in, which of course means there are a lot of challenges at the same time. The real benefit here though, is that we have the knowledge and the capability to meet so many of these challenges and really get past them while also making considerable improvements to our lives and our livelihoods.
We've been making investments in ourselves in terms of the medical devices that we are acquiring for several years at this point. We've bought red light therapy devices, infrared sauna devices, vibration plates, tens units and several other smaller ones. These are all crucial things in our toolkit for keeping ourselves healthy and being able to deal with and heal a lot of the things that end up creeping up on us as we get older. These have been really wonderful things to have in our back pocket, and we have also been looking at new things to add to the mix.
The latest thing we have added is another thing we learned about a while ago, but didn't really know the need we had for it until recently. It's called a PEMF mat which is essentially a mat that uses a magnetic field to help realign things in the cells of our bodies. The PEMF therapies have come a long way but have been around for several years at this point which is good. I don't need to always be on the cutting edge of the devices and therapies for various reasons, some of them being to give them a bit of a stress-test with other people and getting some good information on them before we try them.
I think this is a really helpful thing to have and one of the other things we are trying to do is figure out how we can not only do this for ourselves, but perhaps turn this into some type of small business. There are lots of ways in which these things in general help us and our bodies depending on the need, that sadly a lot of people aren't really aware of. When we talk to the people in our lives about the things we are doing, often they have not heard of any of it and are slightly confused as to what we are doing, but they see the results and how things are getting improved in various ways so the results speak for themselves.
I think the big challenge with all of these things is that it requires consistency in it. With the world that we live in today, the focus is on a pill they can take so it will do something quickly or in the background. This is pretty helpful in dire circumstances but it doesn't get to the underlying root cause which these various medical devices are there to try to help to address.
We are going to make one or two more investments for the year before we spend the rest of the year doing other things like using them and doing research but I think the idea of making yearly investments into products that benefits us is a really important thing to do. It's not that we want to just buy things and get "stuff" but that we need to make improvements to ourselves and our bodies through these technologies. Eventually we will certainly have reached the limit of what we can get but I think that's a bit of time away, at least with current tech!
What about you, do you try to make investments in yourselves and households through things like this? Let me know in the comments!
