Master Health Checkup: An effective tool to avoid health complications.
Your body is the most important wealth. If you do not take care of your body, body will not cooperate with you.
Are you healthy? You have come to middle age. You might have more than 25 years to live. For the rest of your life you have to live a healthy life. A motor vehicle bought about 5 years ago has to be taken for routine checkup even if no trouble is noticed.
The vehicle will be checked for 3-4 hours to see whether all the gadgets like brake, gear, oil tube, fan belt and water level in the radiator are correct. When you travel with your family for a long distance, say 500 to 1,000 kms, without carrying out these mandatory checks in your vehicle, you will be stuck in the midway. If it happens at night time, you will be exposed to the risks of theft or robbery.
To keep away from the harm’s way, and to ensure the safety of passengers and the road users, it is important to keep the vehicle in good condition.
Sudden health problems: Similarly, you should take proper care of this God given body. You will think you are fit. Suddenly you might get chest pain or severe abdomen pain or pass blood in the urine. Then you are stuck. If your 70-year-old mother is having a large mass in the breast, then you are stuck.Such unexpected turn of events will drain you of your energy and your bank balance. Hence, routine physical examination of your body is mandatory, once a year or twice a year. For details call 9843321803, 9843372723, 0422-2219191.
