JAKARTA - Awareness of the Indonesian people about the importance of maintaining health before diseases appear is still a challenge.
Data from the Ministry of Health shows that more than 60% of Indonesian people have never checked their blood sugar and cholesterol levels, while most people only do health checks when they feel sick.
Changes in the lifestyle of modern society also increase the risk of various chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and obesity.
Unbalanced eating patterns, low physical activity, irregular eating habits, and high stress levels are factors that contribute to the increase in metabolic disorders, especially in urban communities.
Responding to this need, Primaya Hospital Bekasi Barat launched a Wellness Center, a health service center that focuses on a preventive healthcare approach through health screening, lifestyle management, and comprehensive monitoring of health conditions.
Director of Primaya Hospital Bekasi Barat, dr. Yoana Periskila Winarto, MKK., MHPM, explained that the presence of the Wellness Center is part of Primaya Hospital's commitment to supporting preventive health in the community today.
"So far, many people only check their health when they have complaints. In fact, various chronic diseases can actually be prevented or handled earlier if people conduct regular health screening and maintain a healthier lifestyle," he said.
The Wellness Center offers a comprehensive range of health services designed to help people monitor and maintain their health more proactively.
The services include comprehensive medical check-ups, health screenings, nutrition consultations, weight management programs, to planning personalized health programs according to individual needs.
On the same occasion, dr. Davie Muhamad, Sp.GK, Specialist Doctor of Clinical Nutrition, explained that modern lifestyles are one of the main factors in the increase in cases of obesity and metabolic disorders.
"Unhealthy eating patterns, low physical activity, and irregular eating habits can increase the risk of obesity and metabolic diseases. Therefore, a preventive health approach needs to be carried out comprehensively, not only through health checks but also lifestyle management," he explained.
He added that meal timing or chrono-nutrition, which is a nutritional concept that adjusts eating patterns to the body's biological rhythm, also plays an important role in maintaining metabolic balance.
Meanwhile, Dr. Ribka Tobing, Sp.Ak, Specialist Acupuncturist, added that various chronic diseases are now increasingly found in the productive age community due to unhealthy lifestyles.
Through a more holistic approach, every individual who follows the Wellness Center service will receive a comprehensive health evaluation and personalized health program recommendations.
"We hope that the Wellness Center can become a community partner in maintaining health more proactively. With early detection and proper lifestyle management, many chronic diseases can actually be prevented so that people's quality of life can be maintained," concluded dr. Yoana.
