Our good doctor advises enthusiasts to treat their bodies as well as they treat their beloved cars.
Sending your car in for a service once every six months is an accepted routine of car ownership.
It’s a mandatory one, too. No self-respecting driver would deny his or her vehicle that most basic level of care.
Especially if you want your car to continue faithfully doing its job, and/or if you expect to recoup anything close to what it should be worth when it comes time to sell it.
Owning a car without servicing it? Sacrilege.
So, why do we not do the same for our bodies?
When was the last time you went to a family physician or general practitioner (GP) for a check-up (even if you felt perfectly fine), and not because you had the sniffles or needed an MC after that punishing night out at Clarke Quay?
When was the last time you had your blood pressure, cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels tested?
Doctors refer to this as Primary and Preventative care.
It is the human equivalent of a regular tune-up to prevent your later years being a crumbling quagmire of gangrenous limbs, broken bones and shattered constitutions.
