Show of hands: Who actually enjoys visits to the doctor? Let’s be honest, nobody likes going unless it’s to get a bogus medical certificate signed or to indulge in some innocent flirting. Don’t get me wrong, I know we all need doctors at some point of our lives. However, I’ll be lying if I said I jump in joy when I have to head to a hospital. So, here’s a secret that’s a lot more effective than an apple a day to keep the doctor away: You.

Running to our GP for medicine as soon as we fall sick had been instilled in our minds for generations.
