How To Overcome Excuses and Take Charge Of Your Preventive Health

In the busyness of life, it’s easy to let our health slip down the list of priorities. We tell ourselves we’re too busy, too tired, or that we’ll start tomorrow. But when it comes to preventive health, there’s no time like the present to take charge. Making our health a priority is crucial for maintaining overall well-being and keeping us at our best in all aspects of life. Here’s how to overcome common excuses and make your health a top priority.

1. “I’m Too Busy”
In our hectic schedules, finding time for preventive health can feel impossible. However, just like we prioritise work meetings and family commitments, scheduling regular health screenings is essential. Think of it as an investment in your long-term well-being. By taking a proactive approach now, you can potentially avoid more serious health issues in the future.

2. “I Just Did My Health Screening Last Year” / “I Feel Fine” 
You might think that since you got a clean bill of health last year, you can skip your health screening this year. However, our bodies and our health are constantly changing and preventive health is about catching issues early, often before symptoms appear. Regular screenings can detect changes in your health that may have occurred over the past year, allowing for early intervention and better health outcomes.

3. “I’m Unsure What Health Screening to Do”
At MedSuites, we understand that navigating the world of health screenings can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer in-house doctor consultations to help you determine which screenings are right for you based on your age, gender, and health history. Our goal is to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on taking care of your health.

4. “I’m Not At My Best Health Now”
You might think that you’ll wait until you get in shape or eat healthier before getting a health screening. However, preventive health is about starting where you are. Taking proactive steps now, such as scheduling a health screening, can help you get on the path to better health.
