Prevention is better than cure. It is also cheaper than being admitted in the hospital for treatment.
Don't wait until your body collapse before taking your health serious.
Also go for checkups. Don't avoid it because you're scared.
Prevention is absolutely better than cure. Early detection and diagnosis has saved a lot of people from diverse medical complications.
The most unfortunate thing is that people are actually scared of the hospital
I once asked someone why they don't go for check up and they said that if they go, the doctors would definitely find out that something is wrong with them. They said that it's better to live without knowing that something is wrong, rather than being scared
This is another thing we as health workers need to work on. Welp, all we can do is to give health education on the importance of going for regular medical check up. We can't force them to come.
