    Ambassador for Kindness

    by Ngozi Osuagwu, MD | February 27th, 2022

    Ambassador for Kindness

    With all the bad things happening around the world, you can sometimes overlook some positive things. I learned about Time Magazine 2021 Kid of the Year, Orion Jean. He is an 11-year old who sees himself as an ambassador for kindness. His simple message is, “If you see a problem, fix it.”It was very inspiring to read about him. He started an initiative called a race to kindness. In his interview with Angelina Jolie for the article, he says that a race to kindness is a call to action. Kindness is a choice, and while you can’t force others to be kind, we can be kind ourselves and hope to inspire others.

    I also found out that February 17th was National Random Acts of Kindness Day. I did not realize that there was an actual day dedicated to kindness. Should we not strive to be kind every day? There are health benefits to being kind. Kindness stimulates chemicals in your brain like oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Oxytocin is the “love hormone” which aids in lowering blood pressure and increases self-esteem and optimism. Serotonin is excellent at making you happy and calming you down. Endorphins help with promoting energy. Kindness decreases pain, stress, anxiety, and depression. Please click here for additional kindness health facts.

    I believe there is room for more ambassadors for kindness. Each one of us can be an ambassador. The world needs us. Our community needs us. We need us. Imagine a better world.

    The book discusses common gynecological and women’s health issues in a series of witty and entertaining letters. These letters, all educational, offer suggestions on what approaches to take in tackling the medical problems that typically bring women to an ob/gynecologist. The letters are spiced with art, a poem and quotes. Although its emphasis is on gynecology and women’s health, it touches on some other medical issues that make women visit their doctors.

    The second half of the book briefly discusses the most common gynecological conditions and also provides an overview of sexually transmitted infections. A list of annotated websites dealing with the different topics in the book is provided for the reader who wants to pursue each subject in depth.
