A Full Body Checkup - like LifeCell Diagnostics’ Ayushman Bhava - is a comprehensive health screening that assesses the overall functioning of your vital organs and systems. It helps detect potential health issues early, even before symptoms appear.
Regular full body checkups help in early diagnosis, prevention of lifestyle diseases, monitoring existing health conditions, and maintaining overall wellness.
Most experts recommend a full body checkup once a year, especially for adults above 30 or those with a family history of health issues.
A Full Body Check usually includes blood and urine tests, imaging tests (like X-ray or ultrasound), ECG, and assessments of heart, liver, kidney, thyroid, and blood sugar levels.
LifeCell’s Ayushman Bhava Full Body Checkup package often includes:
Ayushman Bhava has full body checks with varying costs based on the number of tests included. Basic packages may start from ₹599, while comprehensive ones can go up to ₹5199 or more
Yes, fasting for 8–12 hours is usually required, especially for tests like blood sugar, lipid profile, and others. Water is typically allowed during fasting.
While it covers major health markers, it may not detect all diseases. It serves as a preventive tool and may indicate the need for further investigations if any abnormality is found.
Adults above 30 are generally advised to start annual checkups. However, those with lifestyle risk factors or family history may benefit from earlier screenings
You’ll receive your Ayushman Bhava Full Body check reports within 24–48 hours. Some basic tests may be available sooner, while advanced imaging may take longer.
LifeCell Diagnostics offers free home sample collection, especially for health packages. However, charges may apply in certain locations or for urgent requests.
LifeCell’s Ayushman Bhava home sample collection is usually available within 60 minutes of booking. However, depending on the location and your convenience, you can choose a slot. Early morning slots are preferred for fasting tests.
A Full Body Checkup is an extensive health check that includes a series of medical tests, which together can evaluate your body’s overall functioning. It provides a detailed picture of your internal health by monitoring your vital organs, including the liver, heart, kidneys, thyroid, pancreas, bone and overall blood profile.
In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, stress, lack of exercise, poor diet and inadequate sleep are common. A Full Body Checkup helps detect these silent warning signs early, enabling preventive care and timely medical intervention before conditions become serious. It is also especially valuable for individuals planning pregnancy, as underlying metabolic issues, thyroid imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, early cancer signs or hormonal disorders can silently impact fertility and overall reproductive health.
One of the biggest strengths of a Full Body Checkup is its preventive advantage. Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol imbalance, liver dysfunction, and thyroid disorders often develop without obvious symptoms. Regular health checkups ensure early detection, timely treatment, lifestyle adjustments, and better long-term health outcomes.
A full body checkup is one of the most effective ways to stay ahead of potential health concerns and protect your long-term wellness. Here’s why it matters:
1. Early Detection
Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders and cholesterol imbalances often progress without noticeable symptoms. Regular checkups help detect them early, enabling timely treatment and preventing complications.
2. Better Treatment Opportunities
When illnesses are identified in their initial stages, treatment tends to be simpler, faster, and more successful. Early diagnosis can make a significant difference in recovery rates and overall quality of life.
3. Accurate Risk Assessment
A full body checkup gives valuable insights into your lifestyle and environmental risk factors by evaluating key health parameters. These insights help doctors create a personalised health plan designed to reduce your chances of future illness.
4. Preventive Screening for Serious Illnesses
Regular checkups ensure you don’t miss essential preventive screenings for conditions such as heart disease, thyroid disorders, kidney issues, diabetes, or underlying blood infections. Getting tested at the right intervals helps detect problems early — often before they become serious.
5. Continuous Monitoring Of Your Health
Regular health evaluations allow you to monitor existing conditions and track improvements or changes over time. Regularly reviewing your test results helps your doctor fine-tune medications, diet, or lifestyle recommendations for better control.
6. Empowered Health Decisions
Knowing your current health status helps you make informed choices about your nutrition, exercise, medications and daily habits.
7. Peace of Mind
Knowing that your vital health parameters are within normal limits brings reassurance. Regular checkups reduce uncertainty, helping you feel confident and in control of your well-being.
8. Promotes a Healthy Lifestyle
Regular full-body checkups act as a motivating reminder to stay disciplined about fitness, nutrition, and self-care. They encourage accountability and inspire long-term healthy habits.
Your body often gives subtle hints when something isn’t functioning as it should. Paying attention to these early warning signs can help prevent serious health issues later on. Here are some symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored:
1. Persistent tiredness or low energy
This could be linked to anaemia, stress, improper sleep, thyroid imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, or early heart issues, etc.,- all of which can be identified through routine blood tests included in a Full Body Checkup.
2. Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
If you are experiencing unexplained weight gain, a full body checkup might be able to detect the problem. It is often linked to thyroid disorders, diabetes (pancreas), or liver issues.
3. Frequent urination or excessive thirst
If you are experiencing frequent urination or feeling very thirsty, then your doctor might recommend a full body checkup to detect signs of diabetes or kidney dysfunction.
4. Swelling in feet, ankles, or around the eyes
This too can indicate kidney problems or early heart issues. Discussing these issues with your doctor might prompt them to recommend a full-body checkup.
5. Shortness of breath during routine activities
If you constantly feel short of breath while performing normal routine activities, it may be associated with heart problems or low haemoglobin levels.
6. Persistent indigestion, bloating, or upper abdominal discomfort
You may ignore these signs as poor diet issues, but recurrent indigestion or bloating could be related to liver or pancreatic disorders. These can be detected by a full-body checkup, post which your doctor might recommend further tests for detailed evaluation.
7. Yellowing of eyes or dark urine
These are key signs of liver stress or bile-related issues. A full-body check can detect such liver issues.
8. Muscle cramps or bone/joint pain
If you are facing constant muscle cramps or bone/joint pain, a full-body check can check your vitamin levels. Generally, a vitamin D deficiency, calcium imbalance, or early bone health concerns are responsible for such muscle cramps or bone pain.
9. Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
Irregular heartbeats or palpitations can be caused by thyroid imbalance, anaemia, or electrolyte issues. Thyroid tests, CBC, and electrolytes that are available in a full checkup test can help identify the cause.
10. Frequent infections or slow healing of wounds
If you constantly get frequent infections or notice slow healing of wounds, a full-body health check can check for diabetes, low immunity, or blood profile abnormalities.
Individuals aged 25 or above should get a Full Body Checkup at least once a year. Individuals aged 45 or above should get this health checkup done twice a year. It is also important for:
1. Working professionals with sedentary lifestyles
2. Individuals with high stress levels
3. People with diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid conditions
4. Anyone looking to take proactive care of their health
The name “Ayushman” comes from Sanskrit and means “blessed with a long life”. At LifeCell, we chose this name because our full-body check-ups reflect the same philosophy of preventive care that supports a long, healthy life — truly living up to the spirit of being “Ayushman".

Preparing for your full-body checkup is an important step to ensure accurate test results and a smooth, stress-free experience.
Here are a few things to keep in mind that'll help you get the most out of your appointment:
1. Fasting
Most places that offer health checkup packages require you to fast for 10-12 hours before they take any samples. This means you can have only plain water; no snacks are allowed during this time. Fasting ensures that your blood sugar, cholesterol, and other measurements are accurate, allowing doctors to get a clear picture of how your body is functioning.
2. Medications
If you've got any medications, supplements or vitamins going on, let your doctor know beforehand. Some medications can mess with the test results. The doctor might tell you to stop certain medications or even reschedule your test.
3. Hydration
Just make sure to drink plenty of water, unless the doctor tells you to do otherwise. Proper hydration makes it a lot easier to get any blood work done, and you're more likely to get good results for tests like kidney or liver function. Avoid coffee, tea, or sugary drinks before your test.
4. Clothing
Choose loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arm for blood draws or physical assessments. Avoid wearing tight sleeves or multiple layers — this helps reduce discomfort and saves time during the process.
5. Rest and Lifestyle
Avoid heavy exercise, alcohol, and smoking for at least 24 hours before the test. Physical strain or stimulants can affect readings such as heart rate, sugar, and cholesterol levels.
6. Preparation and Notes
Before your appointment, jot down any symptoms, concerns, or family health history you’d like to discuss. This helps your healthcare provider understand your results better and guide you on the next steps.
If you choose a home sample collection, a trained phlebotomist will visit your home to collect blood and urine samples. If you visit a diagnostic centre, your samples will be collected at the lab.
The collected samples are analysed across key health parameters, depending on your doctor’s recommendations and the selected package. These may include:
Based on these results, a personalised digital health report is generated, providing actionable insights to help you maintain and improve your overall health.
The normal reference ranges for each parameter are mentioned in the report. If any parameter is marked high or low, it may suggest an underlying issue that requires medical attention.
It is recommended to visit your doctor with your report to help you interpret the results accurately. They may suggest lifestyle changes, medications or follow-up tests if needed.
If your report shows high or low values for any parameters, it’s best to consult a physician. These may indicate imbalances in thyroid function, blood sugar, cholesterol, or other key health markers that may require timely medical attention.
You can schedule your checkup from the comfort of your home with LifeCell Diagnostics. A trained phlebotomist will visit your home at your preferred time to collect your samples and deliver them safely to the laboratory for the tests.
Your digital health report will be ready within 24 hours, giving you quick insights into your overall wellness.
