Why is it necessary to get a body checkup?

Regular medical examinations can uncover any underlying conditions or early symptoms you may have. This drastically lowers your risk of getting a serious illness. For instance, patients with high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels are at a significantly higher risk of getting heart diseases. If you qualified as a high-risk patient, regular health checkups are a must. Despite your lack of control over some factors, such as your family health history or your age, maintaining a balanced diet and exercising daily absolutely helps in lowering your risk of disease.

Modifiable factors:

  • Weight
  • Physical activity levels
  • Sleep quality and stress management
  • Diet and alcohol consumption

Non-modifiable factors:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Ethnicity
  • Family history

Health checkups and health insurance

Health checkups in Hong Kong are certainly not cheap. However, if you secure the right health insurance plan, you can avoid out-of-pocket payments. Look for comprehensive health insurance that provides outpatient benefits. Usually, it should partially or entirely cover the cost of your health checkup fees.

[Yachting at sea] Hong Kong yacht mooring guide | Typhoon shelters, private mooring | Introduction to the six major local yacht clubs

Hong Kong boasts the deep and wide Victoria Harbour, as well as an extensive coastline and numerous outlying islands. Sailing out to sea offers a variety of unique views and a refreshing experience. If you plan to buy a boat in Hong Kong, the main concern is where to moor it. This time, Kwiksure shares information about mooring boats in Hong Kong waters, including major typhoon shelters and private yacht clubs. Although Hong Kong has vast waters and mooring yachts should not be a "land problem," in reality, as of 2023, there were already 12,553 Class IV pleasure vessels. Currently, all the yacht clubs in Hong Kong combined offer about 2,300 yacht berths, and there are about 2,000 private mooring facilities in 43 different water areas, totaling only about 4,300 berths across the city. The number of moorings is clearly insufficient, and Hong Kong yacht owners also face a shortage of berths.
