Health without stress right at the beginning of the year
We don't postpone preventive check-ups because they aren't important. We
postpone them because we don't have any problems. And yet it is precisely
prevention that can save us a lot of trouble later on.
🧑⚕️ Teeth are a typical example of a problem that we only deal with when pain forces us to. Yet a preventive check-up can reveal a problem that can be prevented. If you don't have a dentist yet, you can choose one here.
🧑⚕️ Gynecological check-ups are also among the recommended preventive check-ups. You can visit the professionals at Interklinik Gynecology or the
Gynecological Clinic in Rovinka.
🧑⚕️ It is a good idea to visit your general practitioner once every two years. Many of us do not deal with preventive care, either due to lack of time or lack of capacity. Healthcare is offered by Poliklinika Mlynská dolina, Poliklinika Váš lekár, and Cumulus in Košice.
🧑⚕️ Do you have sufficient levels of vitamin D? Do you need to check for suspected food intolerance? Take advantage of the wide range of tests offered
by Unilabs.
The eyes are not just the mirror of the soul
The best health benefit is not the one that cures, but the one that detects the problem before it hurts. Fatigue, headache, burning eyes, blurred vision. All of this can be detected and prevented with one visit to a professional.
👁️ Eye tests don't have to be scary. Choose one of the eye clinics on offer and have your eyes
tested.
👁️ Then, choosing the necessary aids will just be a matter of finding a nearby optician.
Back pain does not have to be an everyday occurrence
Many of us associate back pain with work and long periods of sitting. We often take it as something we simply have to learn to live with. However, proper care can provide significant relief.
💪 Find your physiotherapist. In Bratislava or Žilina, you can make an appointment at FITCLINIC, in Košice at Fyzio Cure, in Nová Dubnica at Rehan
Fyzio, or in Zlaté Moravce at Rehabka.
💪 We also recommend supplementing regular exercise with massages. They relax not only the body, but often the mind as well.
Mental health is just as important
We often only start to address our mental well-being when we feel exhausted. It is not uncommon for us to attribute these feelings to a difficult period and try to ignore them. However, mental health should be a natural part of self-care, just like physical health.
🙋♀️ You can contact experts online via eTerapia.sk or mojra.sk
🙋♀️ If you are interested in personal development, you can take advantage of your benefits at the Academy of Mental Health or sign up for an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course at MindMoments.
Benefits can also help with family care
It is impossible to completely separate work and family. When responsibilities pile up at home, your mind remains divided even during the workday. Here, too, benefits can bring noticeable relief.
👪 Cleaning. An activity you either love or hate. But did you know that you can pay for cleaning services with benefits? Leave the housework (regular or occasional) to the professionals and enjoy time with your family.
👪 Summer will be here before we know it, so how about easing the strain on the family budget and using your benefits for a children's camp ?
👪 Clubs for the little ones will also be covered by your benefits, so just choose what it will be this year - swimming, English, dancing, or drawing?
Benefits in 2026 are no longer about what we can afford extra. They are about what will help us cope with everyday life with greater peace of mind.
