Well, many might think that it’s unnecessary to have a full medical check-up because they feel fine. But that is not the case! Having a regular health check-up done will ensure that one’s body continues to be healthy and can help detect any potential health problems early so that take steps can be taken to prevent them from becoming more serious.
A whole body check-up is required for a healthy person as well as one for people with ongoing illnesses to check the progress of the treatment. Regular health checks help to identify risk factors for certain diseases. For example, if high BP or cholesterol levels are detected in a person, they may be advised to make lifestyle changes (such as following a healthier diet and exercising regularly) to reduce their risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke.
They also allow doctors to monitor the progress of any ongoing illness, even if it is chronic in nature, and to make necessary changes to the treatment plan.
