This year’s World Health Day theme was “Our Planet, Our Health". Amidst the pandemic and growing pollution, diseases like cancer, asthma, diabetes, heart diseases and other lifestyle diseases are increasing rapidly.
We need to keep humans and the planet healthy.
The care in diet and exercise that we take, up to the age of 35 years is instrumental for continued health in our middle age.
Suburban Diagnostics conducted an analysis of people aged 18-35 years who had done a preventive health check-up with us over 5 years to see how their health profile was…
From this pool of 32,000+ people, we found that many young people are deficient in their health reserves.
