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. This can be the difference between Life and Death.
Most Diseases are treatable if detected early bearing in mind that some diseases do not show symptoms until the later Stage, and in most cases by the time the symptoms show it's already late.  A yearly Comprehensive health Checkup is advised, find below a list of checkups that comprises a COMPLETE HEALTH CHECK UP.

DO NOT BE TOO QUICK TO JUDGE OTHERS  A couple had been married for several years without a child. For the purpose of companionship, they bought a Rottweiler puppy, named it miley and loved her like a child. The dog had access to all the rooms in the house. The puppy grew to become a large, beautiful dog and had on several occasions saved the couples from robbery. Miley was always faithful, loyal and defended its owners against many dangers. Seven years later, the couple was blessed with the long awaited son. They were very happy with their son and naturally decreased the attention they had given to the dog.

They were shocked as they were heading to the nursery and saw miley in the hallway with a bloody mouth, wagging its tail. The dog's owner thought the worst, they pulled out weapons and began to beat...

Why do people pass out after donating blood when they have fasted?  I've worked in a blood bank.

If you haven't been drinking enough your blood volume falls. The fluid in your blood (plasma, mostly water) needs refill all the time, if not, it will "drain" (sweat, urine, etc). When the blood volume falls, the pressure falls. To prohibit this, the veins in your body constrict. That makes the volume of your veins to fall and the amount (volume) of blood has the same ratio to vein-volume, and the blood pressure is unchanged. If you're dehydrated the veins have constricted to try to keep the pressure up. If you add blood-donation to that, the volume falls even further. The veins can only constrict so much, and it might not be enough to keep the pressure at a normal level, you...
