These could be communicable or non-communicable diseases, acute or chronic ones with or without immediate symptoms. Therefore our role in their prevention and treatment is clearly crucial. Supporting our immune system is pivotal if we wish to preserve our health; we need to have a healthy diet, do regular physical exercise, manage stress, cut down on alcohol, refrain from smoking, get enough quality sleep, and take up the necessary vaccines. Fortunately, most timely diagnosed diseases are curable, and can become asymptomatic if treated appropriately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are three main tools at our disposal that can help us reduce the risk of diseases and their complications to a minimum:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>having a health-conscious lifestyle,<\/li>\n<li>paying attention to our body\u2019s signals and performing the prescribed self-examinations,<\/li>\n<li>taking part in relevant health screenings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;color: #daca05\">Screening, check-up, risk factor \u2013 what are they about?<\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"keretes w-100\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #daca05\"><strong>Screenings <\/strong><\/span>take place in asymptomatic periods, depending on age, sex, family anamnesis, and other risk factors. Invisible illnesses, among them non-communicable (chronic) diseases and their antecedent causes can be timely uncovered during scheduled screenings. Prescribed screenings are important since chronic diseases are mostly asymptomatic in their early stages, and only cause pain and visible symptoms later on.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #daca05\"><strong>Health checks<\/strong><\/span> (or medical examinations) serve the purpose of identifying the underlying causes of existing symptoms.\u00a0 In these instances the doctor schedules the examinations depending on the urgency and severity of the individual cases.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #daca05\"><strong>Risk factors <\/strong><\/span>are physical characteristics, habits, environmental factors, and social circumstances that increase the likelihood of developing a particular disease. Many of these risks can be mitigated in our lives, while others (e.g. our age) cannot be influenced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51091 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/egeszsegfejlesztes\/files\/2022\/04\/Szures-angol-01-400x308.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"974\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/egeszsegfejlesztes\/files\/2022\/04\/Szures-angol-01-400x308.jpg 400w, https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/egeszsegfejlesztes\/files\/2022\/04\/Szures-angol-01.jpg 721w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 974px) 100vw, 974px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Treating chronic diseases (cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, and mental diseases, as well as cancers) often requires lifelong medication, and always necessitates changes to one\u2019s lifestyle.
