It’s time for holidays, sun, sea and beaches. All perfect. But why not be even more relaxed and enjoy your holidays in total relaxation? Just like we do for cars, it is good to pay attention to what is best to check for our health before going on vacation.
A routine check-up
Provided that our health conditions allow us to go on vacation, a simple routine check-up will be enough to enjoy our holidays in complete tranquility. First, before leaving, it would be advisable to visit the general practitioner. He will be the one to advise us on everything that should be done.
Under normal conditions, simple laboratory tests, such as urine and feces, will be enough to monitor the function of the liver, kidneys and metabolism in general. It is also advisable to check blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides, by virtue of the fact that on holiday we tend to overdo it with food and alcoholic and sugary drinks. Pressure control is essential, given the high temperatures that will be faced, especially when going to the beach.
Also very useful are a vision check and above all of the teeth: there is nothing worse than finding yourself with a toothache, but without a dentist. Above 50, it would also be advisable to do an electrocardiogram and a stress test.
Pay attention to what is best to check for our health before going on vacation
After having done a complete basic check-up, it is good to inquire about the location where we will go. To go to some countries, in fact, it is necessary to carry out vaccinations to prevent contracting diseases.
We also prepare a kit with all the drugs we take and those we may need, especially if we have children. The best prevention of all is still common sense. Happy holiday!
