Dr Curtis Cripe – Lessons Learned From The Pandemic

It is fair to say that we are finally starting to move forward from the pandemic and what a year it has been. Now however, as more and more people get vaccinated, we can once again return to normal life and make up for the time which we have all lost. With this being said however, many in the medical community like the brilliant Dr. Curtis Cripe, are speaking out about the lessons we should all learn from what has gone on. This is an important point which is being made and here is what we can all take forward as a lesson from what we have lived through.

Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle

Beyond the vulnerable people, those who suffered most from the virus were those in poor health and those who were overweight. This should therefore be a lesson to us all of the importance of making sure that we maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. So many of us keep on promising ourselves that we will address our weight or our lifestyle tomorrow, or the day after. This is understandable but the reality is that today is when we should focus on how we are living. The healthier we are, the better our immune systems will be for anything that is thrown our way.

Importance of Spending Time

One of the biggest lessons which we can all take forward following the pandemic is the importance of taking time to spend with our loved ones. As we all know, a Zoom call can be good fun but it will never make up for actually sitting in someone’s presence and having a good chat with them. many of us complain about going to certain events or family parties, but what we have witnessed in the last year should show everyone just how important it is tmeno actually spend time with people and to ensure that we are giving up our time to spend with those who we love.

The Importance of Mental Wellbeing

One of the biggest challenges that all of us have faced over the last 12 months has been mental health, and it is fair to say that so many of us have struggled. If we are being honest, staying at home so much under lockdown situations is not normal at all, and it is understandable that we have faced mental health challenges. This should serve as a healthy reminder to us all as to just how fragile our mental wellbeing can be at times. We should all be making sure that we are committing ourselves to finding ways to stay healthy and to always keep our mental health in mind. This is not something that we can ignore and the more that we are aware of it and work on it, the better that things can be.

These are the most important lessons to take forward in the coming years following the pandemic. What have you learned from it?
