    Importance and Benefits of Preventive Testing

    hero image

    Karan was asked to undergo a round of health checkups for acquiring insurance policies. That was the first time he tested. Until then, his approach to diagnostic and preventive healthcare was “I feel completely fine. Why should I test?”. In these tests, his triglycerides turned out to be remarkably high and he was advised a battery of related tests and treatment.

    ‘Prevention is better than cure’ was said more than 700 years ago. The adage holds especially true today in the context of health. There are several benefits of health screenings. What should you know about such basic health tests? That they are safe, convenient and the medical tests included can keep you ahead of the curve. Blood tests in preventive screening include kidney and liver function tests, lipid profile, heart health markers and more. These are the tests that are recommended by doctors based on age and gender. A seemingly healthy person could be predisposed to certain health conditions which are invisible to the naked eye.

    Here are the reasons why you should opt for preventive screening:

    Improved quality of life : Diseases and conditions that are caught in early stages have a higher chance of remission and thus help you live your best life.

    Increased lifespan : Silent conditions like cholesterol and other hearth health markers, if diagnosed and worked upon, can increase your life expectancy. Conditions detected earlier are curable. Did you know the top global causes of death, like cardiovascular diseases and cancer are preventable and manageable with the help of screenings?

    Reduced costs : You can avoid future medical bills that come laced with chronic diseases.

    Nip the problem in the bud and reduce the anxiety associated with “what if?”
