Why is fasting required for this test ?

Many tests in this package can be done without fasting also but one test which should be done in 12 hours of fasting is Lipid Profile. When we consume food, it gets converted in VLDL and Triglycerides raising their levels in the blood. This will distort the value of Total Cholesterol in the body. Thyroid function is best in the morning when we wake up and therefore this package should be done in the morning around 8 am with 12 hours of fasting. On the night before the test do not eat a heavy meal or consume alcohol. Alcohol will derange the SGOT and SGPT values unless you consume alcohol every day.

Will this package test me for all kinds of Diseases ?

No package can test you for all kinds of diseases but this basic package will give a fair idea about the health of major organs of the body. If you are overweight or obese then Lipid Profile is good test to measure the level of different types of cholesterol in your body. If the value of bad cholesterol is high then it is a danger signal for diseases like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease or liver disease in the years to come. If blood sugar random is high then further tests need to be conducted to determine the status of diabetes. If SGOT and SGPT values are high then further tests need to be conducted to check the status of Liver. If Serum Creatinine values are high then further tests need to be done to check the status of Kidneys. If any abnormality is found in the values of CBC or Urine – Routine then it indicates the presence of some kind of infection in the body which need further evaluation. If all the values are within normal range and there are no noticeable symptoms then it can be safely assumed that you are healthy.

Who should opt for this health checkup package ?

If you have an active lifestyle, are not obese, have not noticeable health issues and are below 30 years of age then this is the package for you to check on your health at a very nominal price. However if cost is not a major concern then MFit Desire is the ideal package to do a more comprehensive checking specially if you are reasonably healthy but have a family history of genetic diseases. Diseases which run into family are heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, stroke and Liver disease.

What is to be done if values of tests are out of range ?

The health checkup packages under our MFit programme are not just testing packages. Once your test results are out, you would receive the reports by whatsapp or email. Our MFit coaches will call you to explain the test results to you. If your test results are out of the normal range then you would be given the membership of our health recovery programme called – Journey to Health. In this programme our coaches will set the health goals for you. Personalized diet charts and exercise regimen would be designed. Our coaches will educate, train and motivate you to achieve the health goals. You will be invited to health seminars and physical training sessions. Periodic assessments will be done to check on the improvement in your health. Follow up tests will be done after 3-6 months to measure the progress.

How do MFit packages compare with the health packages of other Labs ?

There are many Labs in the country which offer heavily discounted checkup packages which claim to test many parameters of your health. MFit is very different from those packages as our aim is not to just do the pathological testing for you but to improve your health. The cost of our packages includes the cost of testing, educating, training, monitoring and bringing improvement in your health. MFit packages are result oriented and aimed at making you disease free. Joining the MFit movement will make you a fitter, healthier and happier person. The aim is to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases in our society.
