Default A Picture of Health

I would strongly recommend going for a yearly physical because blood work will detect any hidden problems. Better to catch something in the beginning phase than be surprised when it is a big thing.

I am also healthy and taking no medication but I am scheduled early next month and need blood work for my type 2 diabetes that is under contol.
That's how I found out I had diabetes five years ago and brought into control though eating properly and exercise before it became a major problem like other family members who had it.

During the same examination, he also detected that I had a silent heart attack and possibly prostate cancer. Both of these were bogus as subsequent tests showed nothing. Not knowing and wondering is the worst scenario especially if one becomes concerned.

I was the picture of health until this examination. and was shocked at the initial results.

It is not free as you pay premiums.
