Blog-image_2 (6)People, these days, highly invest in house, car, education, etc. but a very few bother to invest in their health. It is ironic because if your health is good, you have everything, and if your health is not, you have nothing. Still, people care to invest in other things rather than their own health.

Let’s understand the importance of regular health checkups:

  1. They lower the risk of serious complications which can strike later in your life.
  2. The cost of treatments is rising to new heights in India, and the number of diseases is also on a new high, therefore if you get treated at an early stage rather than an advanced stage, your treatment cost gets lesser.
  3. Health checkups give you a detailed analysis of your health. Even when you are feeling you are absolutely okay, it can tell you about the disease you might be suffering. Remember, a healthy looking body doesn’t always mean that you are absolutely healthy.
  4. The lifestyle which we live these days totally demands health checks. People are always glued to their phones, and computer screens, and you may never know what harm it is doing to your body. A health check-up, in this case, can tell you a lot about what’s happening with your body.

According to World Health Organization (WHO), 1 in 4 Indians are at risk of dying from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like heart diseases, lung & respiratory diseases, high blood pressure and Cancers.

Unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle and alcohol consumption have led to a sharp rise in the number of diseases in India.

According to World Health Organization (WHO), 1 in 4 Indians are at risk of dying from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like heart diseases, lung & respiratory diseases, high blood pressure and Cancers, before they turn 70!

Communicable diseases like cholera, malaria and polio have been replaced by lifestyle diseases.

Do you know that heart diseases have become the number one cause of death in India?  It is shocking, but true! Not only heart diseases, but thyroid and kidney related diseases are also increasing day by day.  According to the reports by Indian Thyroid Society, 1 in every 10 adults suffer from hypothyroidism in India, and 1 in 10 adults also suffer from chronic kidney disease, according to Sanjay K. Agarwal, Head of Nephrology, AIIMS.

Younger lot is experiencing more and more diseases because of the lifestyle they are living, and also because younger people hardly go for preventive check-ups in India.
