Very few people have medical check-ups done as often as they should. The two main reason for this are expense, and fear that something serious may be discered.

Instead of having an expensive, comprehensive annual medical check, check periodically for certain important symptoms.These checks can be done easily and inexpensively.

• A warning system for health is necessary, as most diseases can be nipped in the bud before they have time to do any harm.
• Urine should be checked for possible diabetes.
• Blood pressure needs to be checked, and kept within prescribed limits.
• Blood should be cheked for high cholesterol and triglyceride. This can help prevent a coronary attack.
• Weight should be checked periodically to ensure that it is within the limits given in the height-weight charts.
