Why screening?

Currently most of us believe in a health-care system based on DISEASE management, where we wait for a disease to occur, and then suffer the consequences which involves lengthy and expensive treatment, and at most times the diseases are irreparable.

Apple A day however believes in a health care based on GOOD HEALTH management where we strive to prevent a disease coming into our lives.

To achieve this Apple A Day has set up India's first exclusive preventive health care system laboratory, and the method we use is a simple process called screening where a battery of tests are conducted periodically to completely prevent a critical disease coming into our lives, if not at least delay it.


Do you know how critical diseases are acquired?

There are 4 main factors for a person to acquire critical diseases like heart disease, different kinds of cancer, kidney and liver failure, even silent killers like diabetes and thyroid.

1.Stress: Is an integral part of today's lifestyle, like stress at work, stress at home and also while commuting.

2.Sedentric lifestyle: Due to today's heavy duty stress levels we have in our day to day lives, many of us tend lead sedentric lifestyles with an indulgence in junk food, smoking and drinking habits ,lack of regular exercise and lack of proper sleep.

3.Genes: transfer of diseases from one generation to the next.

4.Age: An irreversible process by which health deteriorates over time.

Did you know???

  • India is the diabetic capital of the world.
  • India has 10 crores confirmed diabetic patients.
  • 2 people die every minute because of diabetes.
  • Every minute four people die of heart disease in India.
  • Annually 25 lakh people die of heart disease in India, and even more alarming 60% are in the age group of 20-40.
  • Every 5th Indian woman suffers from thyroid imbalances.
  • Currently 5 crore Indians suffer from thyroid cancer.
  • Obesity is one of the main factors for cancer and one in three Indian adults are obese i.e 1.46 billion adults.
  • 54 lakh people have died because of different types of cancer in just the past 5 years.
  • 2.5 people die every minute because of kidney failure.
  • An average of 650 people are dying due to kidney failure that is well over 230,000 Indians a year.
  • 22 people die every hour because of liver failure in India. (2 lac deaths/year)
  • Another important finding is that an average Indian lives up-to the age of 63 but where-as a Japanese or Australian lives up to 86 probably because they respect the body that they live in.

Please understand that repair & replacement is possible for everything in this world except human health, the only option available is maintenance.

Blood sugar testing which is quite commonly used for diabetes detection is not however, ideal to monitor a patient’s control over diabetes. Hba1c or glycosylated haemoglobin test provides a precise and a broader picture of your overall glucose control for the last 90 days.. It is the measure of glucose which is bound to the hemoglobin (inside RBCs) in an irreversible manner and hence would be present as long as the life of RBC
Liver also known as body’s chemical factory, performs several functions such as converting complex molecules to simpler units and synthesis of immunoglobuins and various other biomolecules essential for fighting infection and toxic injury. Liver profile measures various molecules in the blood reflecting whether the liver has been functioning normally or not thereby helping us to measure the liver injury.
The heart profile consists of 9 major profiles which help in early detection. Early detection is hence advisable to keep cholesterol& triglycerides under check to keep the heart healthy.
The principal function of the thyroid gland is the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3), which circulate in the body through the blood stream and aid in overall body metabolism. They are controlled by another hormone called TSH (Thyroid stimulating Hormone) from pituitary gland. The values help in evaluating function of the thyroid gland-hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
The kidneys play an important role in maintaining the fluid and electrolyte balance by retaining the required substances and excreting undesired substances in the form of urine and thus maintaining the PH, for the optimum functioning of the body. It also plays a vital Role in regulating blood pressure by reabsorption and excretion of electrolytes and regulates The workload on heart. A renal profile is a group of diagnostic test to collect information About kidney function.
A Blood test done that measures the main electrolytes in the body-sodium, potassium, and Chloride can be used to evaluate symptoms of heart disease and monitor the effectiveness Of treatments for high blood pressure, heart failure ,liver and kidney disease.
Vitamin D, traditionally known as anti ricket factor or sunshine factor synthesized in the body And functions as a hormone. Vitamin D deficiency can cause several disorders like osteoporosis, scierosis, bone fragility, hypertension, chronic fatigue, depression, heart Diseases, diabetes is crucial for proper formation of red blood cells and normal functioning of brain And nervous system, its deficiency if left untreated can result in anaemia as well as Irreversible nerve and brain damage.
The complete blood profile consisting of 34 major parameters, it helps to indicate any blood infections or inflammations of any kind, including cancer.
an extensive urine profile consisting of 21 major parameters to detect urinary infections or inflammations of any kind.
A microalbumin urine test is done to check for protein albumin in the urine. The test helps to detect the condition called microalbuminuria which is caused by kidney damage due to diabetes, high blood pressure, cirrhosis or heart failure. If not reated early large amounts of albumin may leak into the urine, leading to serious kidney damage.
Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). HBV can cause damage to the genetic material inside liver cells. This can lead to liver cancer which, like hepatitis, can also be fatal. Viral hepatitis is a major public health problem of global importance with an estimated 300 million worldwide HBV carriers..
