The Low-down<br />
on Your Health<br />
MUST HAVE MEDICAL CHECK-UPS<br />
TEXT: BETH COOPER HOWELL<br />

Although many of us may feel that regular medical check-ups are a waste<br />
of time and money – particularly if we’re feeling healthy – they actually<br />
help us <strong>to</strong> nip both minor and major ailments in the bud.<br />
”Prevention is better than<br />
cure” is the oldest and probably<br />
most overused cliché in the<br />
book, but it is common sense:<br />
Sort out a sore knee <strong>to</strong>day, for<br />
example, rather than deal with<br />
an expensive and painful<br />
operation in a few<br />
years’ time…<br />
With any health problem, no<br />
matter how small, it is always<br />
advisable <strong>to</strong> be aware of it and<br />
have it treated before it becomes<br />
a major issue. Besides, detecting<br />
diseases or disorders in their<br />
early stages could do more than<br />
save you a little discomfort later<br />
on, it could save your life.<br />
