Introduction
Staying healthy isn’t just about treating illness — it’s about preventing it. Regular health checkups are one of the most effective tools for early detection and long-term wellness.
Key Points
- What happens at a routine checkup: vital signs, screenings (blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes).
- Benefits at every stage: from childhood immunizations to screenings for adults and seniors.
- Chronic disease prevention: early detection dramatically improves outcomes for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
- Your role: simple steps you can take between visits to stay healthy (nutrition, sleep, physical activity).
