It's a significant moment when you reach 30, and this milestone can be called a turning point in your career, where responsibilities become greater, but life becomes faster. In this hurry, we tend to believe that since we were healthy in our 20s, then being healthy in our 30s would be easy. That is where quite a lot of people make their mistakes. Past the age of 30, your body begins to exhibit signs of alteration, even though you may be in good health externally.
The actual threat? Most of the fatal diseases are symptom-free in the beginning stages. That is why it is important to realize and cope with these latent health hazards, and it begins with a comprehensive physical examination.
High blood pressure weaves into our lives slowly and silently.
You might feel absolutely well, but your blood pressure is gradually rising. Hypertension usually builds up with a minimum of noticeable signs. When it is unchecked, it predisposes to heart diseases, stroke and kidney failure.
Blood pressure should be regularly checked after age 30, in particular, when you have a sedentary or stressful lifestyle. A full body checkup usually contains a check of the blood pressure, lipid profile and ECG, which enables you to detect any alarming situations before the occurrence of emergencies.
Prediabetes: The new menace
Most people in their 30s have not realized that with the current high-sugar/high-refined-carb diets, they are sitting on the rim of diabetes. Prediabetes is usually a condition with no outward manifestations and may easily degenerate into full diabetes unless identified at an early stage.
Heart Risk and High Cholesterol
It does not occur overnight to have cholesterol to build up. It may silently start clogging arteries at your 30s, making you prone to suffer cardiac-related incidents in the future. The symptoms do not show in many people until they are too late, i.e. after a heart attack or a stroke.
The Lipid profile test is one of the full body checkups cost wherein the test is used to measure the LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol) and the triglycerides. By detecting abnormal levels in time, early management can be done by diet, by physical exercise, or by medicines.
Deficiency of vitamin D and B12
Notwithstanding the fact that an individual lives in a sunny country, there is rampant Vitamin D deficiency in urban India. Equally, low Vitamin B12 is becoming frequent because of the vegetarian diet and poor absorption. Both deficiencies may cause tiredness, low immunity, mood swings, and even nerve problems.
These symptoms are rather difficult to detect as they may be confused with stress or even burnout. These deficiencies can be easily detected during regular screening as part of your full body checkup, so that they can be easily corrected.
Liver and Kidney Health: An Often-Neglected Trio
Your kidneys and liver work day and night without a single word, in order to cleanse the body and ensure it functions properly. However, they can slowly be damaged because of consuming alcohol, eating processed foods, and using over-the-counter drugs.
Such tests as Liver Function Test (LFT) and Kidney Function Test (KFT), which are found in most of the full-body checkup packages, are useful in monitoring the condition of these important organs. The earlier the dysfunction is detected, the easier and cost-effective it is to manage.
Thyroid Dysfunction
Hypothyroidism and other thyroid disorders among adults are now more prevalent than ever before, especially among older women. Fatigue, gain in weight, hair loss, and mood changes are symptoms that are ignored or assumed as part of growing old.
An atypical test (thyroid panel- TSH, T3, T4) in a regular screening assists in the identification of thyroid imbalances before they affect your routine and health in general.
Time to Take Action to be Ahead
It is possible to think that you are healthy today, but numerous diseases build up gradually over the years. This problem is that by the time the symptoms can be observed, it is already too late and the costs to treat the damage can be considerable. Another simple but cost-effective way you can protect yourself is by investing in a regular full-body checkup, through which you would be able to detect the silent threats before they get out of control.
Once you turn 30, your health is something that deserves more than a once-in-a-while examination. Book your planned health examination and regain control over your health, as prevention is not only good, but also much less costly than a cure.
