The Body, very Important Asset for Life.



The Body is our vehicle for Life on earth, but apparently we value other things more than our bodies. For instance, We wash our cars weekly and put the best gasoline in them. We are careful about the service schedule and the type of oil we use for our cars and If something happens to the car, we immediately take it to the car service to fix it. However, when it comes to our real “car”, our body, we get lost on the way. When it comes to investing money in the ” good gas” for our bodies, we hesitate. Why is that? Is the car more valuable than our bodies? Is the Health of the car more important the health our bodies? The Answer is NO! We need to invest more on oiling our Machine i.e. our bodies. Comprehensive body checks should be undergone yearly. Complete health checkup is done in order to have a clear picture of a person's overall health, it means checking all aspects of vital health and finding out if there are any issues in early stage. Health check-ups are necessary especially for people with risk factors of different health problems. It can also help in early detection and treatment of a health disorder.
