“A fit, healthy body – that is the best fashion statement.” – Jess. C. Scott
As long as we are healthy, we take our well-being for granted. We tend to think that we need to see a doctor only when we fall sick, but research shows that prevention is indeed better than cure. These health check-ups will help you keep a tab on your health.

3. You may or may not have multiple sexual partners, but these days you can’t be sure where anybody’s been. This is why you should get STD screening done.

6. Did you know that your heart beats about 100,000 times a day? Now that’s one hard-working organ and deserves to be checked regularly.

7. Most of us are regular social drinkers. When this is not countered by proper detox, it can harm the liver. This is why you should regularly get liver functioning test done.

9. Our diet these days is often not completely nutritious. This can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Getting these tested is a good idea.

10. High triglycerides (a type of fat) are associated with heart disease and are caused due to oily, unhealthy diet, smoking and drinking. Lipid profile will tell you the level of the types of fat in your body.
