As summer draws to a close, many of us are busy making the most of the longer days—weekend getaways, family barbecues, last-minute beach trips. But while your calendar is full, how often do you pause to ask: how well is my body really coping?
The truth is, the warmer months put your system under unique pressures. Changing daylight hours, irregular sleep patterns, fluctuating hydration levels, and relaxed diets all have a measurable impact on your long-term health. Yet, according to recent European studies, over 65% of adults do not undergo any preventive health screening until a major problem arises.
At VidaCare, we believe prevention is not only smarter—it’s more affordable and life-changing. Our Baseline Health Screening offers a comprehensive, data-driven look at your most important health markers, helping you step into autumn feeling confident, informed, and in control.
Research shows that up to 58% of adults report disrupted sleep cycles as days begin to shorten in late summer, impacting energy, mood, and metabolism. At the same time, holiday habits—more alcohol, late dinners, sugary snacks—can raise blood glucose and cholesterol levels within weeks, even if you usually eat healthily.
By testing now, you can spot nutrient gaps, hidden inflammation, or early signs of metabolic imbalance—issues that, if ignored, often lead to fatigue, weakened immunity, and a higher risk of chronic diseases later in life.
Think of this screening as a health reset button, giving you real numbers to guide your nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices before autumn routines kick in.
What the Baseline Health Screening Includes
This isn’t just a basic check-up. We measure over 30 essential biomarkers, including:
-
Full Blood Count: Detects early signs of anemia, infection, or immune system strain.
-
Kidney & Liver Function: Vital for detox and recovery after summer indulgences.
-
Heart Health: Full cholesterol panel and inflammation markers (hsCRP) to catch cardiovascular risks early—1 in 3 adults over 35 has undetected elevated cholesterol.
-
Blood Sugar Control: Identifies prediabetes risk; 70% of prediabetic adults don’t know they’re affected.
-
Nutrient Status: Iron, folate, and vitamin B12 levels—deficiencies that account for up to 40% of unexplained fatigue worldwide.
Preventive testing is no longer optional—it’s essential. Studies show that 80% of chronic conditions can be managed or even avoided with early detection. Yet most people delay testing due to cost concerns or lack of symptoms.
Here’s the reality: our Baseline Health Screening costs €129, less than a weekend trip or a new smartwatch, but can help prevent future medical bills running into the thousands. Early knowledge doesn’t just protect your health—it protects your wallet.
Prevention is Trending – and for Good Reason
Modern healthcare is shifting from reactive treatment to proactive wellness:
-
71% of Millennials now prioritise annual preventive blood testing.
-
82% of Gen Z believe that “knowing your numbers” is part of modern self-care.
-
Even among older generations, routine screenings are linked to 30% fewer hospital admissions in later life.
