Why is our perceived value of reactive healthcare higher than proactive despite the fact that spending money on proactive healthcare can actually ๐๐๐๐ you money in the long run?โฃ
โฃ
The answer? ๐๐๐ข๐ง.โฃ
โฃ
We typically donโt act on something until weโre forced to by mother nature.โฃ
โฃ
Here are a few examples:โฃ
๐ You hesitate to pay more money for high quality food, but instead end up paying for diabetic, cholesterol, and blood pressure meds.โฃ
๐ You hesitate to hire a personal trainer, but instead pay more in healthcare premiums.โฃ
๐ You hesitate to see a chiropractor or massage therapist, but end up paying for physical therapy after an injury.โฃ
โฃ
In each of these examples, the proactive measures could have prevented the reactive costs. โฃ

โฃ
The fact of the matter is, our society has allowed it to be more socially acceptable/normal to pay a lot of money to fix problems once they arise instead of paying money to invest in our health ahead of time. โฃ
โฃ
Think of it this wayโฆโฃ
โฃ
We take preventative measures with our vehicles (getting routine oil changes or getting new tires)... why do we not do the same for our one and only body?
