Benefits of Annual Health Check-Ups
In today’s world, various factors contribute to health risks, including environmental pollution, dust, chemical contaminants, stress, unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, genetics, and aging. These factors can cause illnesses and severe diseases. Annual health check-ups are crucial for understanding your body’s condition, identifying abnormalities or risks before symptoms appear, or before diseases progress to harder-to-treat stages.
Preparation for Annual Health Check-Ups
Get Enough Rest:
- Ensure at least 6-8 hours of sleep before the check-up, as it affects blood pressure and heart rate.
Avoid Food and Drinks:
- For blood sugar tests: Avoid food and drinks for at least 8 hours (sipping water is allowed).
- For lipid profile tests: Avoid food and drinks for at least 12 hours (sipping water is allowed).
- Avoid alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours before the check-up.
- Avoid energy drinks, tea, coffee, and smoking before the check-up, as they can affect blood pressure readings.
Prepare Health Information:
- Inform your doctor of any illnesses, exposure to hazardous chemicals, abnormalities, chronic conditions, or other health histories. Bring previous health check-up results or medical records for the doctor’s reference.
Notify if Pregnant:
- If you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy, inform the staff before the check-up. Some tests may affect pregnancy, such as chest X-rays, muscle function tests, or lung function tests.
Wear Comfortable Clothing:
- Wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing. For blood pressure measurement or blood tests, wear clothing that allows easy access to your arms. For chest X-rays, women should avoid wearing underwire bras to prevent interference with the imaging.
