Miriam Mutebi: Self love starts with self care
Miriam Mutebi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the Aga Khan University Hospital, posted on LinkedIn:
“Ah, Valentine’s Day – I know it’s passed, but hey – love (and candlelit dinners) are still in the air (right?)
And let’s be honest, for some, it’s also the annual lingerie showcase. (LOL) Last week, plenty of ladies were on the hunt for the perfect lace, silk, or satin to make a statement.
This morning, I asked myself – what if, on days like these, we focused less on what’s on and more on what’s underneath? Before you raise an eyebrow, let me clarify.
I’ve said it before. Self love starts with self care. And that ladies, means… booking that mammogram!
Sure, we all love a good Valentine’s fit, but guess what’s even better? Healthy breasts.
Instead of just dressing them up, check up on them too. A mammogram may not be as fun as shopping for new lingerie, but it’s the kind of love your future ‘twins’ will thank you for. Before you slip into that lace number, schedule that screening. Because real love isn’t just about looking good – it’s also about staying healthy, thriving, and making sure you’re here for many more Valentine’s Days to come.
Now, go forth – rock the cute lingerie if you must. But make sure everything underneath is doing fine too. Yes?”
