I have since learned that it takes more than an apple to make sure I remain healthy. What you eat and how active you are both aids in preventing the onset of diseases. But is that enough? My only measure to know that my body is in good condition is how I feel. No aches or pains equals no health problems, right?

Your health is a valuable asset
I compare it to looking after my car, which is a very valuable asset. If I knew that the thin pipe with brake fluid was brittle and could start leaking at any moment, I would take it in to be repaired as soon as possible to avoid frustration and cost later on. I however do not know much about cars and will not notice that the pipe is brittle. To avoid nasty surprises such as these, I faithfully take my car for a service and let the experts check and report back to me. It gives me peace of mind to know that my car is in good shape and ready for a few more trips until the next check-up.

There is a medical scheme that believes in this philosophy. Momentum Health promotes early detection and sees the long-term benefits it holds for the member and the scheme. Momentum Health offers general physical examinations, cholesterol tests and blood sugar tests to its members at age-appropriate times. These tests are usually paid by the member from Savings, but on Momentum Health it forms part of the Health Platform and tests and consultations are paid by the scheme.

When last did you take your body in for a service? Make an appointment with your doctor today and get the peace of mind you need knowing you can go around the block a few times again before the next check-up. With Momentum Health you can have this peace of mind at no additional cost to you. Speak to your financial adviser for more information.
