Having a schedule to have regular body check ups is super important. What’s more important is knowing when to do each of the check ups and how often. It’s better to prevent an illness than to have to treat it. That’s why regular checkups are essential.
Routinely evaluating your risk factors for various medical conditions, screening for cancer and other diseases, and assessing your lifestyle habits helps you stay healthy while reducing your risk of chronic or life threatening diseases. You may be wondering why this is necessary. Let me tell you.
Seems like it’s pretty important isn’t it? And what’s more important than health? Probably nothing. Because what’s life like if you aren’t actually healthy? Now let’s look at how often you should get a body check up.
The recommendations regarding the frequency of routine checkups are based on your age, risk factors, and current health status. While opinions vary, routine checkups with your doctor are generally recommended as follows:
During your annual checkup, your doctor will review your past health history, evaluate your current health, and schedule appropriate screening tests. For men and women, an adult annual checkup should include a review and update of:
Men and women are typically screened for:
Additionally men and women also have different types of check up to do. Let’s see what they are.
We usually see our doctors from time to time when we’re sick or need any sort of medication. The argument is: the only time one should visit a doctor is when one is unwell or cannot fix one’s problem through over-the-counter medications. You must have heard that your parents or grandparents say that health is wealth. This old axiom is not just a cliché but has a lot of truth in it.
If you want to stay off medication and be less dependent on external sources to be healthy, then you need to take good care of your body. Your life should be about eating well and maintaining a wholesome lifestyle of a balanced diet as well as exercising. Good health is not a summer or winter resolution but a lifetime process, something that you need to do for the rest of your life. Meeting your doctor from time to time is one of the many aspects of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Here are some of the tests that make up a regular body check up:
Preventive healthcare is not a choice, but a requirement. If you want to detect a disease that has so far been lying dormant, doing its dirty work in silence, then you need to get yourself checked periodically. At the same time, health checks are not just about preventing diseases, it is also about maintaining your health optimally. When you meet your healthcare provider, they will assess your general health and recommend screenings or tests that they think are required to get a deeper insight. Finding problems early are important for treatment to be more effective and curative. Certain diseases do not show signs and symptoms until they have caused a lot of damage. It is these diseases that need to be identified at the earliest and are often picked up by regular health checks.
However, while necessary; medical checkups alone cannot be responsible for good health. Leading a healthy life goes a lot beyond just meeting your doctor regularly. You also need to inculcate good habits and make a few sacrifices along the way. You need to consume a balanced diet and give-up all the harmful substances such as too much sugar or salt, alcohol, tobacco, processed foods etc. You must also add light to moderate exercise in your daily routine for best results. Healthy habits are your first line of defense against harmful diseases and health conditions.
It is extremely crucial to take good care of your health. So, don’t dread going to a doctor. Instead, make a part of your yearly routine. If you health is well then all is well.
