“A stitch in time saves nine” is a way of reminding us to take timely action and avoid delays to prevent problems. In an era of rising medical costs and escalating economic difficulties, staying proactive is the key to a long and healthy life. Let’s first understand why timely whole body checkups are important.

No Illness Attacks Us Overnight

Our habits, food choices, mental health status, lifestyle choices and the kind of environment we are exposed to, sets the ground for our wellness or illness. All chronic illnesses can be seeded down to our daily choices. The earlier we detect the errors, timely interventions can be done and we can be healthy and vibrant again.

To Halt The Progression Of Chronic Illnesses

The progression of chronic illnesses like Diabetes, Hypertension, GERD etc. can be in a reversible or non-reversible stage. During the reversal stage of the disease our body gives us numerous signs and symptoms to alert us of the impending danger ahead. If timely actions are taken early, the disease can be reversed. These signs can be easily detected by timely full medical check ups.

Let’s explain with an example:- If today your HBA1C is 5.8, it indicates you are diabetic. This didn’t happen overnight. Diabetes can be rooted back to the first signs of glucose intolerance and insulin exhaustion with signs and symptoms like decrease in blood chromium levels, increasing fasting blood glucose levels, high fasting insulin levels, lethargy and sleepiness after a meal, putting on belly fat, etc. Routine full body checks help to identify these in the early stage itself!.

To Respond To The Clues Our Body is Giving Us

When there is any insufficiency or imbalance in the body, our body tries to communicate through each and every cell. Chronic headache is a symptom telling us of the underlying inflammation, gut health and deficiencies. It’s a sign indicating to us that something is not okay in the body and we need to fix it.

Possible Causes of Headache:

2. Leaky gut leading to food sensitivities
3. Estrogen dominance

So, don’t miss out what your body is trying to communicate and speak with our expert to know the right tests for you!

To achieve a smooth transition between the different stages of life, a keen focus on monitoring your health is required. For eg, as we age, move from adolescence to our thirties/forties, the body’s demand is increasing and if we know the imbalances in the body, we can ensure that we give our body the right support. In women, for eg, as they transition to menopause, its important to ensure that the body has the required nutrients, metabolic balance to help avoid unpleasant symptoms that menopause is associated with.
