We live in the century of the hustle and fast-paced life, where technology has become the biggest substructure and on which we humans are always on the run. Barely taking the time for ourselves, we do not eat properly, get enough sleep, exercise or lead a healthy lifestyle, added to these are the environmental factors.

While these may manifest and hint in our health in discrete ways, we tend to overlook them presuming that they are petty and trivial, until things get ugly and our health is in neck-deep trouble.

The reason why you should be getting checked by your doctor even when you are feeling healthy is that medical exams can help detect health problems early on. Sometimes they can be detected before they have even started.

Once the problem has been detected the doctor can help you with treatment and even a cure which ultimately gives you a better chance at a happy, healthy and longer life.

Of course, your age, health, family history and lifestyle choices will affect how often you need to receive a check-up at your health practitioner.

Do not wait until you are sick before you pay a visit to the doctor for what should be a routine examination. Make it a habit to take care of yourself and your health by making regular appointments with your doctor throughout your life.

Regular health checks are vital for 3 reasons:

• Health problems can be detected at an early stage before they develop into something much more serious.
• A screening test can detect and prevent a serious illness like cancer.
• Preventing health problems from becoming chronic can save you money.

In an endeavour to raise health awareness to the local people and encourage the importance of regular health checkups. Zuri health shall be conducting a free medical camp in partnership with Checkups Medical Hub at Free Pentecostal Fellowship in Kenya, Kawangware on Sat, 11^th of Dec.

All are invited.
