Are you between 45-49 years old ? Should you consider a check of your OVERALL health?

​

Many chronic diseases are preventable. Being aware of the risk factors might help you prevent disease or illness. A comprehensive health check can help you manage potential future health issues.

Your general health and wellbeing can be impacted by many things, including:

• Your family history

• Blood Pressure, cholesterol, BMI

• Lifestyle and dietary habits including smoking, alcohol, and   exercise.

• Your risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease

• Sexual health
