Execucare – A Partnership for better living

In a bid to get everyone back on track for the New Year, we at SAI want to bring to your attention our growing partnership with Execucare.

Initial inroads to our partnership were based upon nutritional skin ageing and genetic screening for accurate metabolic eating plans, but the partnership has blossomed to highlight the need for healthy living as part of the ageing process.

Where dieticians meet wrinkles

With a 2013 focus being predominantly on reducing your metabolic age we have decided to send our dietician patients for Comprehensive Health Assessments. This for one helps diagnose any metabolic issues advancing your visible age, but of course the natural spin off is a healthier lifestyle.

Here is some information to better understand what the Health Assessment is trying to achieve. It might be that you would simply want to undergo this assessment without any additional treatment. That is fine too. At SAI and Execucare we simply want you to be and look your best in 2013.

Who should have Comprehensive Health Assessments?

• Everyone — even those men and women who seem fit and healthy. Serious health problems, such as coronary heart disease, asthma, and prostate cancer, have been detected in one in five ‘healthy’ people who have undergone routine medicals. A baseline medical assessment is invaluable for detecting early signs of disease and for monitoring future changes in health.
• People with a family history of heart disease—especially if a family member suffered from a heart condition before the age of 70.
• Men over 40—should have a routine screening test for prostate cancer. Most cases of prostate cancer show no symptoms until very advanced.

During your holistic assessment, we:

• Take a comprehensive and thorough medical history.
• Examine you physically, from top to toe.
• Assess your heart by means of resting and exercise E.C.G.s.
• Carry out blood tests that are appropriate for you. Depending on your medical history and examination, these could include tests for cholesterol, gout, thyroid function, diabetes, liver and kidney function, anaemia, and prostate cancer.
• We screen for colon cancer.
• Perform other tests if required, for example, a pap smear for women.
• Test your lung function.
• Analyse your urine.
• Analyse your body composition, including weight and fat distribution.
• Test your eyes for near and distance vision and colour perception.
• Request chest X-rays, if necessary.
• Assess your current stress levels and make appropriate recommendations.
• Ask you to fill out a stress questionnaire, and make a referral for stress management if appropriate.
• Any specific tests for insurance medical for example can be done during your comprehensive health assessment.

What is most important is your health and if you can combine a healthier you with a younger looking you, then what are you waiting for.
