Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

As a society, we spend more time on our phones or electronic devices than at any other time in history. This sedentary lifestyle is taking an enormous toll on our physical health and mental well-being. Therefore, we must find activities that allow us to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with our minds and body. Practicing yoga is an excellent way to make this mind-body connection. The health benefits of yoga are numerous, yet many people are unfamiliar with yoga practice and how practicing yoga helps to improve your health.
