Improving one’s physical health is often a go-to New Year’s resolution. The best way to do this is by scheduling a routine medical check-up appointment. Even if you feel fine, it is a good idea to see your healthcare provider to ensure you don’t have any underlying health issues.
There are several reasons to get a physical exam, including:
- It can prevent illnesses
- It monitors the risk of chronic disease
- It identifies illnesses that don’t have symptoms
- It monitors your weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and basic body chemistry
- It helps adjust your lifestyle that is suitable for your age
- It helps keep an ongoing relationship with your healthcare provider
