In Manila, doctors warn about misleading muscular appearances. Strong muscles do not always indicate good health. People often judge fitness by muscle tone. This judgment can skip key health details.
Dr. Maria Santos works at Makati Medical Center. She emphasizes the need for thorough check-ups. Muscular patients can have hidden health issues. Regular screenings can reveal these problems early.
Cardiologist Dr. Joseph Lim explains heart health concerns. Muscular individuals might ignore cardiac risks. Many think their fitness shields them. However, cholesterol levels may remain unchecked.
Nutritional deficiencies also concern health workers. Nutritionist Carla Reyes highlights diet imbalance. Strong muscles need diverse nutrients. Good muscle tone can hide poor nutrition.
Physical therapist Mark Tan addresses exercise habits. He warns against ignoring pain signs. Pain can signal deeper issues. Real fitness includes recognizing body signals.
Dr. Santos suggests yearly exams. These should include blood tests and heart checks. She urges muscular individuals to listen. Health extends beyond appearances and strength.
Medical practitioners invite the public to free clinics. These occur at Quezon City Health Center. They offer screenings for common conditions. They aim to educate people about hidden risks in November.
