The modern lives we lead are fraught with a number of traps that make us ignore the most important machine we live with everyday; our bodies. It becomes very easy to remain in the traps that prevent us from entering a state of mind where we feel happy about how our bodies feel on the outside and on the inside. We find that most people don’t think of their body as something that should be in the best possible condition they can keep it.The biggest modern risk we have is sedentary lifestyle. It takes us away from being active on our feet. To cope for the energy imbalance in our bodies, we end up eating food that is unhealthy for us. There could be many other causes for illnesses to develop which should be checked for regularly. Very little is understood about the value of getting yourself a physical check up but the ultimate help given to the patient is in the form of early diagnoses of preventable diseases which help all our patients to live fuller lives.
This is where we at Boston Diagnostics can help with services ranging from a specific health checkup to a complete health checkup. We understand that people are not ready to admit when something is going wrong in their body. People want to ignore their health and fight it on their own until something is seriously wrong. By that time, it could be too late and patients regret missing a chance to get a preventive health checkup.

One of the saddest things that we have to live with in today’s society is the constant threat of cancer. It takes away loved ones from our families without any notice. Cancer is caused by the development of malignancies, anti-bodies and tumors in any organ of the human body and has the capacity to spread to other body parts. Cancers can sometimes be felt as lumps such as in the case of breast cancer or lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes. At 8.2 million deaths recorded as of 2012, cancer leads the pack as the main reason for mortality in the modern world. (Source: WHO)
Tobacco is the leading cause of cancer related deaths. Smokers stand the biggest risk of cancer and should be most cautious. Everybody in Mumbai and Pune should get a cancer check up at least once a year because of the constant threat of lung cancer. People over the age of 40 are encouraged to get themselves checked for anything that might feel wrong in their bodies because it could be an indicator of something much bigger happening with their bodies. The immune system starts to slow down in people with this age group and cancers are likely to develop.
Cancer strikes at any time but thanks to modern medicine we are able to check for various forms of cancer. For men, they stand the highest risk of lung, stomach, liver and prostate cancer. These organs developing cancer aren’t exclusive to men. We can test to detect the presence of these cancers. For women, our exclusive cancer tests are; the PAP smear to test for cervical cancer, mammography for breast cancer and CA 125 for ovarian cancer.
The most important benefit about checking for cancer is to see if it can be detected early before it spreads to a place it can’t be removed from. Some cancers can be dealt with in their early stages either by medical treatments or surgeries but once it spreads to other important parts of the body, treatment becomes difficult and can be very painful for the patient. This is why it is so important to check for cancer regularly. Doctors still recommend that the best way to keep yourself cancer free is to have a healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise and good food.
Remember that the goal of cancer screening tests is to detect the disease early when it is treatable. Come to Boston Diagnostics and get yourself checked.
“There is a heart attack every 20 sec. There is a heart attack death every minute. 2 in every 5 death is from a heart disease.”
When confronted with numbers like this, how can anybody not be worried by heart disease? Once your heart stops beating, you are dead. Yes, there are cases where modern medicine has revived people to get their heart beating again but this is no reason to take your heart lightly. It’s important to look at numbers like this when thinking about a heart test. When going for a heart check up remember that doctors are always looking for signs of any lifestyle as well as genetic causes of heart disease when performing heart check up tests.
Coronary Heart Disease is linked to cholesterol. Cholesterol starts to develop from when people are young and keeps building up in the arteries. It deposits itself in the arteries as plaque. Cholesterol is not bad when it is in your body in small amounts. It is necessary for your cells to function and maintains the liquidity of the cells.
Cholesterol comes in two types: Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) and High Density Lipoproteins(HDL). Your body only needs a finite amount of LDL and any excess will circulate in your blood. Over time this is what accumulates in your blood vessels and creates problems like atherosclerosis. Consuming food high in HDL will clean up excess LDL in your blood vessels that could lead to blockages.
New blood vessels are sometimes grown around the blockage but they won’t carry blood that is as oxygen rich. This poses a high risk factor but the risk already begins when plaque starts to build up and creates an abnormal blood flow. If this plaque breaks inside the vessel, it can create a blood clot which could be fatal as it would obstruct blood flow to an organ in your body. A heart check up would allow us to look at your blood sugar and the rhythm of your heartbeat among other things. Cigarette smoking, obesity, diabetes and a family history of coronary heart disease are the main reasons for heart disease. We at Boston Diagnostics take your heart and your heart test seriously.
As we get older, our body’s metabolism slows down and we start to experience in different parts of our body. Looking at the way the older generation is aging, we can get an idea of the kind of lifestyle and the genetic factors which contribute to specific organ or limb degradation. Medical technology and understanding of the human body is always increasing. Researchers are looking to increase the longevity and the quality of life for people well into their twilight years.
Asking someone in your family to go for a senior citizen health checkup is a wonderful way to show you really care about the elderly. Increasing the health and wellness of a senior citizen is a trend we are all working towards. We know how to give respect to our elders but we feel lost about how to effectively care for them until we have children of our own. When recommending a health checkup for senior citizens, keep in mind that there are certain conditions that allow for the most accurate readings when testing.
Preparation for the tests:
With senior citizens, the most stress is felt by the people who are taking care of them because anything could happen. Falls amongst the elderly is a huge concern because of osteoporosis and the natural loss of maintaining balance that comes with old age. Currently, the most common causes for concern among the elderly are cancer, diabetes and heart disease. We all know that the immunity of the body tends to decrease as we get older and that’s also why it’s necessary to make sure that a senior citizen is checked every six months and every time someone falls ill.
With Boston Diagnostics, we can help any senior citizen take a number of steps to preserve good health to enjoy their golden years. We have specialized tests for male and female senior citizens. Even blood tests can be dialled for at home to aid those who face problems leaving their houses. Your loved ones are precious to you so we make sure they are ok when you book your preventive healthcare check up with Boston Diagnostics.
