Grateful for Life and grateful to be in USA

I am an African, recently moved to USA. I know I save money by making sure I continue meeting my scheduled medical check-ups. It is advisable to have atleast one health check a year or once every 12 months.

A medical/health check-up is a thorough physical exam including a variety of tests depending on presented complaint, age, sex and health of a person. A medical check-up has its advantage: it helps find problems before they start; help find problems earlier when the chances for treatment bring early cures; it helps one keep a healthier and longer life.

We all need to schedule appointments for medical check-ups. The following areas are opportunities for us to know about our bodies:

1.       Breast and Cervical  Cancer Early Detection

2.       Cholesterol

3.       Colorectal Cancer Screening

4.       Diabetes

5.       High Blood Pressure

6.       Immunizations

7.       Oral Health

8.       Prostate Cancer

9.       Skin Cancer

10.   Endocrine-diseases

11.   Cardio-Vascular diseases

12.   Lung

13.   weight check

14.   Ear, Neck and Eyes

15.   Bones

16.   HIV

17.   Viral Hepatitis

Do not take things for granted. Schedule a time and tell your employee or people at home about your health check up at the nearest hospital. Make your life count by going for these check-ups.
