Women, Don’t Lie About Your Health To The Doctor

LIE: “I have a healthy diet and I exercise regularly.”

A lot of women bend the truth about their diet and exercise regimen because, again, they don’t want to be lectured. Even if the scales are showing evidence to the contrary, women still lie about watching their calorie intake.

Some lie by being vague when asked how often they exercise. Others lie by subtle deceptions, saying that they exercise daily, when what they actually mean is they walk to the bus stop everyday and that’s enough daily exercise for them.

Women, whether or not they are overweight even by only a few pounds, who are predisposed to certain diseases should always be honest about their calorie intake and how often they exercise. If you have high blood pressure and cholesterol levels and are borderline diabetic, the first thing your doctor would recommend is that you stick to a healthier diet and exercise regularly. If you don’t take this recommendation seriously and lie about it, and your numbers are not getting lower, he would have to put you through a battery of tests and prescribe medications to help you lower your numbers. These would just cost you more money and cause you discomfort. All medications have side effects, including muscle aches, bloating, cramping, diarrhea, and lower libido among others, depending on the type of medication. Because you consider taking drugs simpler, you may become dependent on them and become more complacent with your diet and exercise. This would just result in continuing health problems instead of those problems being solved.
