June 3rd, 2016:  Boxing legend Muhammad Ali died of "septic shock due to unspecified natural causes", his family has said.

The three-time world heavyweight champion - one of the world's greatest sporting figures - died on Friday night at a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona.

The 74-year-old had been suffering from a respiratory illness, a condition that was complicated by Parkinson's disease.

A public funeral will be held for the boxer on Friday in his hometown of Louisville in Kentucky.

"He was a citizen of the world and would want people from all walks of life to be able to attend his funeral," said the family spokesman, Bob Gunnell. 

Former US President Bill Clinton is among those who will give a eulogy at the service, and was one of many prominent global figures who paid tribute to Ali on Saturday, saying he lived a life "full of religious and political convictions that led him to make tough choices and live with the consequences".

The legendary Brazilian footballer, Pele, said the sporting universe had suffered a huge loss.

"Muhammad Ali shook up the world. And the world is better for it," said US President, Barrack Obama

Four reasons why regular checkups are so important (Auckland, New Zealand, ADHB, health,care) #drmobiles, #0800429429

4 reasons why regular checkups are so important

The rising cost of healthcare combined with busy work schedules means that many people are putting regular checkups on the back burner. But the hard truth of the matter is that regular doctors' visits can mean the difference between life and death.
It is essential that you have regular medical, eye and dental checkups if you want to live a long and healthy life. Doctors are able to spot issues early on as well as offer practical advice on healthy living. Not convinced? Read on for information on some of the many ways doctors' visits are so important.

1. Prevention is better than cure

Regular checkups will provide doctors with a way to spot any health issues early on. Checkups incorporate several tests, including preventative screenings and physical examinations, to check patients' current health and risks. If any problems are found,  your doctor will provide information on treatment plans and ways that you can prevent health issues in the future. 
Popular health checks include:
Cervical smear tests (Pap tests) for women
Blood pressure tests
Cholesterol level checks
Body mass index (BMI) and obesity tests
Diabetes checks
If you have any more specific health concerns, then your doctor will be able to advise you on these and conduct the proper checks.
While doctors' checks will help pot any issues early on, you can follow a few steps to support a healthy lifestyle and to complete a number of health checks at home. It has been said that women should regularly check their breasts for lumps, while both men and women should study the skin for changes in moles or freckles. In addition, you should have a nutritious and balanced diet, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight range. If you notice anything unusual, schedule a doctor's appointment as soon as possible.

2. Cut healthcare costs

For many, the thought of a large doctor's bill is enough to put off scheduling a checkup. However, there are several ways that you can find great savings on health care. Checkups could also save you plenty of money in the long run as they help to minimize the risk of potential health issues that will lower the risks for surgery or more extensive medical care in the future.
Discount coupons will let you save on checkups and other medical or health expenses in places in your area of town. Also, check with your insurance company or your employer if and how they help to cover medical and health costs. 

3. Dental care

As well as appointments with a doctor, you should also schedule checkups at the dentist. It can be a tricky task knowing how often you should visit the dentist. According to The Journal of Dental Research, the amount of times you visit the dentist depends on your level of risk for periodontal disease. While many say that visits should be made every six months, those with dental problems may need to have their teeth checked more regularly.
Good oral health plays an important role in the overall health of your body. After all, inflammatory gum disease can lead to tooth loss, while bacteria buildup in the mouth has been said to put you at increased risk of heart disease, according to WebMD. In addition to having regular appointments with the dentist, you should maintain a good oral care regime that includes frequent brushing and flossing.

4. Eye care

While doctors are able to provide some information about eye issues, it is important for people of all ages to schedule vision and eye care tests. Optometrists and eye doctors can check for glaucoma and provide vision reports and possible glasses or contact lens prescriptions, should you need them. People between 50 and 65 should have eye checks at least every two years, while those over the age of 65 should have a test every year. People with increased risk of having eye issues should talk to their eye doctor to see how often they should visit.
You can lower your chances of developing health issues in the future by maintaining a healthy diet; exercising regularly; having a good oral health routine; and booking regular medical, dental and eye checkups.
