Hello,roniroxas! In the recent years due to busy life styles of majority of our women folk,we most often depend on convenience foods which have preservatives,and other chemicals.these can contribute to an array of diseases.they also play a major role in lifestyle disorders like diabetes,obesity,blood pressure and many other diseases.so it is important for everybody to have regular health check and take proper care of health.as i am a retired officer my bank has appointed a physician for health check up of all pension holder every month free of cost.thanks.

I had my last health check in December last year.It was very
important for me because if I fail I lose my job.Everything was OK except I had some kidney problems.I had blood in my urine,but after the few tests and finally ultrasound I passed it.They only found some sand in my kidneys and this is where the blood was from.

it was nice to hear that you passed. i would really be rattled too if a found blood in my urine. atleast you found out the reason on why your urine has blood. we really have to have regular health checks because precautions is better than cure. thanks for the response

My health check was a few months back. Everything was okay except for my being underweight. The doctor told me to eat more and don't really rely on vitamins supplement alone. He said that he didn't want me to be pill popper. So now I am trying to eat more in a healthy way but at the same time I still take vitamin supplements.

you are underweight? why? do you just drink supplements and dont eat at all? or you just eat a little and drink supplements? if a fat person drinks supplements and not eat at all will that person grow thin? i have a lot of cousin who wants to lose weight is drinking supplements will help them?

My weight has remained the same for the past few years, and based on my height, the doctor consider me as underweight I eat very little and do take vitamin supplement. If you take supplement only without food, that will be hazardous for your health. Check with your doctor if you want to start dieting with only drinking supplement. One way to lose weight that I consider quite effective is to eat only one big meal a day and the rest, you can take fruits, juices and vitamin supplement. You can choose either to take your meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner, whichever you feel is right for you. But then again, you should check with your doctor first before attempting to do anything with your weight issues.

i had my general checkup last january and so far i dont have any problems with my health except for being anemic which maybe due to my insomia,but ferrous sulfate tablets intake can make it normal.we cant afford to be sick these because of high prices of medicines,hospitalization bills,taxes,doctor's fee (ouch)....its better to make yourself healthy all the time.....wow,you being a single mom to four kids,thats a very hard task you got there....you are one tough lady!

i got one 5 months ago. i hate health check har har har because when you found out there is something wrong with you then they will tell you not to eat food that you most love to eat. har har har. joke. (frustrations flowing in) well i have high uric acid so they told me to stop eating (for awhile) beens and legumes. gravies and other foods that will make my uric acids go up. i am drinking some meds to help it go down. so for the men time i can drink taho boo hoo. well you are right, a perfect health means we love our family. i have a 2 year old son and i dont want to get sick too.

so when are you planning to get another check? what kind of accident you had? hope you get one again just to make sure you are really okay. sometimes we only have a check when we are not feeling okay so we dont really know what is happening inside our bodies. thanks for the response

Hello Roniroxas
The last time I had a health check was in December last year.
The government of my country has a health check program. All of it's citizens have to do a free health check. If you don't do it until September this year you will be find. And the test are free, the government are paying for them.
I did my health check and I'm perfectly healthy. But a lot of citizens aren't and they didn't know this.
So a health check 1-2 or even more per year it's welcomed.
Take care and have a great day

hi roni! happy mother's day!
i haven't had any health check-ups for a long time now. i only get check-ups when i get too sick that my mother would be so adamant to take me to the clinic. i don't go to the doctor if i still can handle my sickness. but there was a time that i'm not even sick that my mother brought me to the doctor. she said i looked so pale and that i probably don't have any blood anymore. ^__^;; i'm also anemic like you. so the doctor prescribed me iron vitamins too, i think that was Prophan and i really didn't like it because it tastes awful! there was even a time when my mother made me take a supplement, i can't remember the name now but it has a for children and for adult supplement. the children supplement has the chlorella growth factor. of course i took the for adult's. ^__^;;
but i don't take any vitamins now. its a little hassle to be taking vitamins everyday. and i often forget if i had taken one already or not yet. i just make it a point that i eat healthy food like veggies.
i agree with you when you said that being healthy is also a way of being a good mom since you can perform all your motherly duties if you are healthy in mind and body.

i know that you are not a mom yet, but in this days where everything is so expensive BAWAL MAGKASAKIT. so you should take a health check just to be sure you are in perect fit. eating healthy foods is a good point but still you dont know what is happening inside your body. i hope you make a time for a health check. if you love your family you would do that for them. how about your mom or your dad, when was the last time they had their health check?

your response was five days ago... have you got your health check my dear hatley? a person's health check is important no matter how old you are. even infants we bring them to their pedia for a well baby check, right? so i hope you did yours.
