It's a pity that he works late at night, his work is full, so he doesn't miss to take medicine much, sometimes when it's late at night he remembers to take medicine in the morning, so it's convenient to do things like splashing his mouth, making his wife grimace all night. He laughed and sympathized because his daughter was the same, along with Gen Z, remembering the Wifi passes of 5 different cafes but could not remember that 8 am was the time to drink a functional food pillow.
According to a small study conducted by the Getting Forget Group, more than 70% of young people have forgotten to take medicine, 20% have taken the wrong dose, and 10% do not remember whether they have taken it after taking it, leading to a day of taking twice as much as the amount of medication.
The irony is, we can install apps to monitor our heart rate, sleep, and water intake each day, but we can't be patient enough to open the medication cap. Some people even use smartwatches to remind, but when the watch rings, they just press "dismiss".
Usually young people are very talented with the ability to "scientifically explain" their laziness to take medicine. Some people blame me for my busy lifestyle, some people give me the excuse "I have to take medicine after eating but I haven't eaten anything this morning", some people say that when I go to exercise in the morning, I feel the need to recharge my energy immediately so I eat it right away and forget my morning medicine...
Meanwhile, many elderly people do not need an app, do not need to wake up, and can take medicine every minute as accurately as a Swiss watch. For example, the neighbor every 30 minutes before breakfast took half a vien, after lunch 2 vien and before the Vietnamese film festival every night 10 minutes took 2 vien, all like squeezing lemon for many years.
Taking medicine on time is simple, but to maintain it regularly for a long time requires the discipline that young people often spend on work and deadlines. When health is the most precious thing, taking medicine on time is a specific manifestation of self-love.
Therefore, if tomorrow morning the alarm bell rings and you plan to press "more sleep", remember: That small medicine is not only a medicine, but a reminder that you still have a chance to take care of yourself. Because one day, you wont hear the alarm or any of lifes sounds anymore.
