It’s hard to do everything we should do, from getting enough sleep, eating right, exercising, and even regular health checkups. Tomorrow always seems like another day to get those things done while we deal with today.  

But putting off routine physicals can cause bigger problems. That’s why checkups are so important. Early detection and intervention can often prevent health issues from becoming serious. Blood tests monitor risk factors for disease or detect any irregularities that could become more severe health issues. While age, lifestyle, and genetics play a role, regular blood tests ordered by your doctor can help to uncover potential health problems before they become chronic or dangerous. Giving you and your doctor the time you need to make necessary changes or to treat conditions if they develop over the years.

Reasons for routine blood tests and health checkups:

  1. Reduce your chances of getting sick
  2. Detect potentially life-threatening health conditions or diseases early
  3. Increase chances for treatments and cures
  4. Limits the risk of complications by closely monitoring existing conditions
  5. Increases lifespan and improves general health
  6. Reduces healthcare costs over time by avoiding expensive treatments 
  7. Forms a good relationship with your doctor so treatment can be more efficient and personal.
  8. Gives you a chance to be updated on any new medical information or technologies that are available
