Basic check with Probatix:
Is a regular basic check worthwhile?
Basic check-up with regular blood control: The best investment in your health!
✓ Recognize disease
✓ Maintain health
✓ Increase well-being
There are thousands of diseases, but only one health. For this reason, we should not try to chase after diseases and fight them with toxic drugs, debilitating immunizations, and invasive procedures, but instead maintain our health. Because health is one of our most precious possessions, we should do everything in our power for it: eat healthy, exercise enough, strengthen our bodies, nurture our minds, and attend our medical check-up appointments. The latter, in particular, is an effective but often underestimated tool. By detecting diseases at an early stage, we can not only reduce their course but often even prevent their onset completely. Small preventive measures save us so much money on medications, time for therapies, and pain from rehabilitation. For this reason, some preventive checkups, such as dental visits, vision checks, and routine gynecological exams, are already firmly established in our daily lives. But while we go to the dentist twice a year, have our eyes checked once a year, and visit the gynecologist every six months, we still skimp on regular basic checkups. And this, although an enormous profit can be achieved with only little effort. We therefore recommend investing a little more time in your health and having your blood values checked every six months as part of a basic check-up. In the best case, you will gain not only inner peace but also many more healthy and happy years of life.
Cost-benefit analysis: is a regular basic check worthwhile?
Our health is more important than almost anything else. Because every person only has one and is dependent on it for their entire life. If you don’t take your health seriously, you are literally risking your life. According to this principle, we should, in theory, spare no expense or effort to preserve them. In practice, however, we usually only deal with this issue when it is too late. The hassle of screening is a welcome excuse to stop dealing with this issue. After all, in our fast-paced world, who has time to make regular doctor’s appointments, travel long distances and sit in waiting rooms for hours on end? Especially when we are healthy anyway! As long as we are doing well, preventive measures hardly seem worth the effort. And even in our cost-benefit analysis, regular blood sampling is difficult to convince, despite the undeniable health benefits:
Advantages of preventive blood tests
→ Non-invasive, inexpensive and simple diagnostic tool
→ Early clarification of complaints and timely detection of illnesses
→ Comprehensive results and versatile differential diagnostics
→ Simple monitoring of the success of therapy or long-term health status
Disadvantages of preventive blood tests
→ Cumbersome appointment scheduling, which usually has to be made months in advance
→ Unfavorable treatment times for which vacation days may be incurred
→ Long travel times to remote doctors’ surgeries and increased fuel costs
→ High waiting times in the medical centers
→ A lot of initiative required for making appointments, requesting findings and discussing values
→ Double the effort for a repeat visit to the doctor in the event of elevated values
In the case of a specific indication, the advantages of a blood test definitely outweigh its disadvantages. But when faced with an invisible danger, we are less willing to go to these lengths. We choose the easier path and let our health slide until we are driven to action by pain, illness or other ailments. But by then it is usually too late: the symptoms get worse, the disease takes its course and the visits to the doctor become more frequent. So what can be done to break this vicious circle?
