  "account": "Shashi Tharoor and Anupam Kher both recently visited a Beverly Hills medical imaging clinic for a full-body scan, where they happened to meet. Tharoor explained that he chose the scan in California because it was easier for him to find the time there compared to India. Dr Prashanth Rao, a surgical gastroenterology specialist, advises that people in their 70s should have at least one preventive health check-up per year. This annual visit should cover various aspects such as blood pressure, weight, nutrition, mobility, vision, hearing, sleep, mental health, and medication review. Additional tests may include checking for diseases like diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease. The doctor also emphasizes that not every person needs the same set of tests, and the screening should be personalized based on individual health status, risk factors, and medical history.",
