Why a preventive health check is important?

While we are young, we feel invincible. But as we age, it all begins with random aches, pains and progresses to cholesterol increase, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart attack, to list the very few serious disorders. If we soon started caring about our health, most diseases can be prevented before they could even occur.

Preventive health checkup can help you in many ways:

Firstly, It protects you from not only the trouble of having to suffer through the symptoms of the disease, but it also saves money that you would otherwise be spending on hospital expenses.

Secondly, There are many diseases and illnesses that have a better prognosis when diagnosed early. This is particularly true for chronic and terminal illnesses, such as diabetes, cancer, and heart attack.

Thirdly, Regular preventive health checkups help you find the best treatment alternatives as soon as possible, but also give you better chances of quickly recovering back to health.

Despite the necessary care we take for our better health, uncertainties increase with our age, lifestyle and not to mention the habit to take our health for granted. Regular preventive health checkups can set a guideline for our health and help us keep tabs on how time progresses. For those who have major diseases running in their family, health checkups become crucial to have control or to slow down the progression of the disease and prepare a holistic approach to ensure a healthy future ahead.

How often do you need a health check?

If you’re under 30 and healthy – don’t smoke, no disease risk factors (including being overweight) and don’t take prescription medications - get a check-up every two to three years.

If you’re a woman and sexually active, get a Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer starting at age 21 and discuss how often you should screen with your provider.

Age 30-40, healthy individuals (don’t smoke, no disease risk factors (including being overweight) and don’t take prescription medications) should get a physical health check every other year.

Baseline mammograms are recommended for women once they turn 40, and should be repeated every 1-2 years.
