Are you ready to take responsibility for your health? Are you ready to gain insights into your personal health?

 

Most of us think that medicine is primarily about the treatment of disease. This is only one part of medicine. Prevention, based on new diagnostics and tests are transforming medicine and helping people to live healthier lives. Prevention is advancing and with early diagnostics, we are able to locate the early stages of many diseases. Prevention may become more important than medical treatment. Early diagnostics, from the use of frequent health checkups may prevent disease given the rapid advances in medicine we are seeing today. 

 

The prevention of disease is a change in how we think about health. Most of the time we react to a problem as opposed to developing a preventive health strategy. Rather than wait for that problem to emerge, such as a pain or disease, wouldn’t it be smarter to get regular checkups to understand our health before a disease takes hold?

 

Regular checkups can help identify problems before they start or become larger problems. They also can help find problems early, when your chances for treatment and cure are better. By getting the right health services, screenings, and treatments, you are taking steps that help your chances for living a longer, healthier life. 

 

Everyone should have regular medical checkups regardless where they live. The stress and lifestyles of modern life often have profound influence over our health as does diet and behavior. Coming in for regular medical checkups to help you stay healthy and to pick up early warning signs of disease may extend your life and increase your wellness. Heart disease, diabetes and some cancers can often be identified in their early development. Medical checkups enable a healthier lifestyle by not just catching disease early, but by helping you to understand your personal risk factors and how to live healthier.

 

Common diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and some cancers can now be identified in tests as a part of a medical check up. By catching these diseases in the early stages there are certain medical treatments designed for this early stage that could prevent future problems. As smarter diagnostics and tests become available, everyone should consider more consistent checkups.

Most doctors suggest that medical checkups be performed starting at age 40 every one to three years thereafter. The requirements are for more frequent evaluations for those taking prescription medications or if you have had problems or if you have a family history of illness. 

 

For the best results and to increase your longevity and health, a yearly examination is a smart idea. New medical technologies are emerging every day that help us better understand our health. A yearly checkup gives you access to the latest research and tools to use to be healthier.

 

For those over 40, having more information and earlier diagnostics by having regular medical checkups, means you will be more informed and can make better choices about extending your health.
