A complete body checkup is a diagnostic scan of our entire body. A necessity for preventive vigilance and early detection of diseases, it is used to screen for any medical condition affecting our body without our knowledge.
Benefits
If you are wondering why doctors and people in the health industry (aka us) are continuously trying to push you into making regular health checks a habit, it is because:
1. It allows for early detection
While routine medical checks can not prevent us from being sick, they are an essential pointer to any abnormality in the body.
Also, they protect us from suffering life-threatening diseases due to a delay in treatment.
2. It helps you save money
Don’t believe us? Think of the reduced health cost you prevent yourself from enjoying just because you insist on a symptom physically manifesting and affecting you before visiting the hospital. Think of the surgery costs, treatment costs, and medications you now have to buy to ‘cure’ when you can readily embrace ‘prevention’.
3. Monitors health and improves the quality of life
With a routine health exam, you are always aware of your health status and can identify when to adopt or drop habits that impact your health.
4. It saves lives
Truthfully, in the medical world, nothing kills faster than ignorance and diseases you do not know you have to treat.
How often should you run a complete body health check?
While opinions vary regarding the timing between routine medical checkups, we believe everyone should run a complete body check at least once a year.
However, if you have been diagnosed with a medical condition that requires regular monitoring, e.g., diabetes or high blood pressure, we advise you to carry out some testing more often than annually as frequent testing will help you monitor your condition(s) and prevent the further deterioration of your health.
