Prediction of gene map of people life will be longer.

However, from the present conditions, how can we live longer?

The answer is to have a good environment, a healthy diet and lifestyle, so try not to occur; on the other hand is a regular medical examination, with the early detection of disease diagnosis.

Want to know there are many diseases that symptomatic treatment and diagnosis only when the treatment is often too late.

Such as cancer, that looks great with symptoms before surgery, often have a transfer and survival. If in the early detection of the surgical removal of the recurrence rate is very low. There are a number of diseases such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc., in the early days and no symptoms, can be found only by check. And to the advanced symptomatic and complications, treatment is difficult. Therefore, in any event, early detection of diseases is the key to successful treatment. How to detect disease? mainly rely on medical examination. General after the age of 40 regular medical examination. Some disease or even 20 or 30-year-old began to regular medical examination.

Examination content can include blood biochemistry, chest perspective, electrocardiogram, or even b-check.

Of course, not every people every year for so many checks. When started, the interval years, for which checks are to be based on the circumstances of the case. But you can refer to the following comments.

21-year-old is regular blood pressure measurement.

30 years of regular measuring blood lipids. 40 years of regular blood glucose testing. Specifically, a family history of these diseases and risk factors of these diseases would be early start the next year or two for a time.

Middle-aged or older birth women should be every three years a second Pap smear, to exclude the cervical cancer.

Men over the age of 50 should be inspected every year, including the prostate through the anus and blood check prostate specific antigen (PSA).

In the current Medicare system, some people will think I'm not sick, why wasting money.

Especially after negative results have this idea better. In fact, from a long-term considerations, in case of illness is not timely detection of future spending money to a lot more, but the pain is not the money. I believe that money spent on physical examination is far better than flowers in the efficacy of health products to be effective on the money and much more!
