Often times, people make a lot of excuses for
deciding not to go to their doctor. Just a few
excuses include that theyre too young to worry
about it, they dont have time and/or they
already feel healthy. These are all bad
justifications for not going as research goes
that even if you feel healthy, regular check-ups
saves lives, and you may not be as healthy as you
think.

As an example According to the Center for
Disease Control (CDC), heart disease claims more
than 600,000 lives each year in the United
States, accounting for more than 1 in 4 deaths.
This is brought up in the context of getting
regular check-ups for a very simple reason. A
couple major risk factors of heart disease are
high blood pressure and cholesterol. While they
have virtually no symptoms, a regular check-up
with a doctor can detect these issues. If you
dont, you could be causing permanent damage to
your arteries.

you need to eat better and exercise to reduce
health problems. Those are definitely very
important in the scheme of things, but did you
know that sitting too much can cause severe
problems as well, even if you do exercise?

In a recent study done by Kaiser Permanente
specifically on men, it was found that the men
who were most sedentary but also exercised the
most still were 1.2 times as likely to develop
heart failure as those who exercised at a similar
level but sat substantially less. While the
study was specific to men, they noted that the
results were likely transferrable to women as
well. This issue is most often seen with office
workers since it is common to be sitting for
eight hours or more. To help curb this issue, it
was recommended that for every hour at your desk,
you should be walking around for at least 10
minutes.

There are many more maladies to be concerned
about than just heart disease, but it makes an
excellent example for why going to your doctor
can help detect if you have warning signs. For
this issue, and many others, your physician will
likely be able to give you ways to perturb the
issue and get you back on track to a healthier
life.
