Why september is the Ideal Time for a Complete Medical Check-Up Before winter
As summer fades, it’s easy too dismiss the impact of relaxed schedules and altered routines. However, health professionals emphasize the importance of a complete medical review, particularly in September, to proactively address potential health concerns before the onset of winter. Doctors Javier Taboada and Borbolla, both at Ruber International Hospital, highlight seven key reasons why scheduling a check-up now is a smart move.
Firstly, summer takes a toll, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Changes in schedules, eating habits, and sleep patterns accumulate and can negatively impact overall health. Secondly,September offers a fresh start,a natural reset point in the year to establish realistic and sustainable health goals. It’s about making small, impactful changes rather than drastic overhauls.
A medical review also provides an objective assessment of your current health. You might feel well, but underlying issues like uncontrolled blood pressure, unnoticed weight gain, or poor sleep quality could be present. Crucially, early detection is paramount. Many serious diseases develop without warning, and a well-focused check-up can identify problems like heart artery obstructions or early-stage tumors, potentially avoiding major complications.
Beyond diagnosis, a check-up leaves you with a clear plan for advancement. It’s not just about knowing how you are, but what you can do to enhance your well-being, offering a personalized roadmap for self-care. Moreover, doctors stress that quality of life is more critically important than simply longevity. A review can identify factors that may diminish health, energy, and independence over time, allowing for proactive intervention.
a check-up is about gaining valuable time. Detecting issues before symptoms appear allows for calm, considered action with more treatment options available.
dr. Borbolla also stresses the importance of paying attention to previously ignored symptoms and discussing them with a doctor to facilitate early detection of health problems that could worsen over time.
This September, consider joining the many who use this time of year – alongside January’s “good intentions” – to prioritize health through increased fruit and vegetable consumption, reduced ultra-processed food intake, increased exercise, and strengthened social connections.
