Why Regular Checkups Are Important for Your Health in 2024
Why Regular Checkups Are Important for Your Health in 2024 I know you’re eager to get to the point. But first, let me tell you a story about Chinedu, who lives in the heart of Lagos, amidst the bustling streets of Ikeja. Chinedu is a typical Lagosian: ambitious, always on the move, and with a schedule tighter than gridlock on Third Mainland Bridge during rush hour. His life mantra? “No time to waste time.” So certainly, no time for boring routine check-ups. Each day, Chinedu zips through his tasks – from his tech job in Victoria Island to his side hustle in Surulere, barely catching a breather. His friends often joke, “Nedu, you’re a machine o!” And he takes pride in that. To him, hospitals are for the visibly sick. Why visit a doctor when there’s nothing wrong? After all, he feels fine, drinks his ‘agbo’ regularly, and the occasional headache is nothing a ‘Panadol’ can’t fix. But one fine evening, as Chinedu finally slows down to enjoy a football match at his favorite local joint, something feels off. His heart begins to race like he is sprinting for a Danfo bus, and his vision blurs as if he were looking through a rain-soaked windshield. The cheers for the winning goal fade into a distant echo as he slumps onto the table. What do you think happened to Chinedu? Your guess is as good as mine, and you know, even you could be a Chinedu. Wondering how? Keep reading. The Dangers of Neglecting Regular Checkups Chinedu’s story is not uncommon in our fast-paced Nigerian life.
