The past few years have been unpredictable in terms of health and wellness. The pandemic is still at it; creating variants and not dying down. New vaccines from all over the globe are rolling in. Living with the coronavirus, with masks on, social distancing in practice, and self-isolation when needed has become the new normal. The silver lining of all this, if any, is that we humans all over the globe are digitally connected. The internet has served us in numerous ways; entertainment, business, social networking, and most importantly telehealth. Patients can book appointments from the comfort of their homes, get treated via video consultation, and receive prescriptions via SMS.

As we go on with our lives in 2022, it is vital to be in our best health and given unforeseen circumstances, be able to tackle health problems as soon as they arise. For this very purpose, we have created a list of health pages on Instagram for you to follow. You don’t necessarily need an expensive gym membership, a diet plan, and Googling symptoms to improve your health. You can get solid health and wellness tips from these pages. Some of these pages share health-related updates and world science news, whereas others share mental-health tips, lifestyle tricks, health hacks, wellness recipes, and much more. The best part is that the content on these pages is written by health experts so you’re in safe hands!
