Health is Prevention

“Health is prevention” is an invitation and a guide to pursue a healthy lifestyle — with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, restful sleep — in order to optimize well-being and protect ourselves, above all, from chronic diseases. Considering the effects of the new coronavirus pandemic that has shaken the whole world since 2020, the importance of “taking good care of our health so there is no need to treat the disease” is increasing.” Founders of the Med-Rio Check-up clinic, specialized in medicine prevention, doctors Gilberto Ururahy and Galileu Assis propose that periodic exams, knowledge about risk factors and early treatments are necessary for the proper functioning of our body, in addition to identifying stressful situations capable of weakening us and, many times, even lead to physical and psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, panic disorder, among others.

Emotions and Health

With a 40-year career dedicated to Preventive Medicine, Gilberto Ururahy is the founder, alongside Galileu Assis, of Med Rio Check-up, the Brazilian leader in medical check-ups for executives. In “Emotions and health”, his third book, he teams up with French psychiatrist Éric Albert, director of the French Institute of Actions on Stress (IFAS), to show that it is possible to manage the stress of everyday life and turn it into a force positive and motivating. For this, explain the authors, periodic medical check-up is essential. Regular exams allow you to assess the body as a whole, taking into account the emotional side, and signal the impacts of stress on the health of each one. A crucial preventive tool from which it is possible to know the risk factors in order to correct them and avoid unpleasant surprises.

The Emotional Brain

In “O Cérebro Emocional”, doctors Gilberto Ururahy and Éric Albert propose that it is possible to transform this bad stress into a good stress, one that instigates, motivates and makes people achieve. So that the executive can live with all this request, he must take precautions so that he knows how to manage his life with health and quality. To do so, he must undergo periodic prior check-ups, which will assess his body, taking into account emotions and how they affect him. This procedure not only benefits the executive but also the companies, which will have well-disposed employees, who do not take time off work due to illness, who live in a healthy and productive environment. In addition, the family also benefits, as the relationships between husband and wife and between them and their children gain in quality when tensions are controlled.
