Make your health a priority with a regular medical check-up
If you hate the thought of going to the doctor you are not alone - almost half of all Australians fail to have an annual check-up. But did you know that regular health checks can help prevent illness and prolong your life?
4 reasons to go to the doctor today!
- Regular check-ups are a great way of maintaining good health. They provide you with an opportunity to talk to your doctor about improving your diet, exercise and, if you are a smoker, help with quitting.
- Regular checks on blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar can alert you to any potential problems while they are still manageable and potentially reversible.
- Early detection is the best defence against cancer and many illnesses as it gives you the opportunity to take the right action or treatment from an earlier stage. There aren’t always obvious symptoms so regular screening is the only way of finding some cancers.
- Checkups are the perfect time to discuss any emotional or mental health problems you may have in a safe and confidential environment.
Don’t put it off any longer – book your annual check-up with your doctor now.
Our betterhealth programs are provided by Medibank Private and related companies trading as 'Medibank Health Solutions'. The services are not, and should not be taken to be, a replacement for medical or clinical advice given by your doctor. Please consult your doctor for specialist medical advice in relation to any health risks you may have.
