How Important is Your Health?:
The answer to this question for everybody is of course ‘most important’ and it is often said that ‘health is everything’, because without good health, nothing else matters a great deal. There is little doubt that good health relies on having a healthy active lifestyle, which incorporates a healthy diet.
When we read of the increasing incidence of heart diseases, strokes, diabetes, arthritis and similar, we realise how easy it is for anyone to become a sufferer. The stark fact is that we do have a high degree of control over our health and well being and in many cases, we can prevent the onset of a serious health problem, simply by changing our lifestyle.
If we take the issue of heart disease generally, a common aspect is mostly high blood pressure. Taking this a step further and we will probably find an incidence of high cholesterol levels. This has most likely built up over many years and diet changes with exercise could reduce it. Many people simply have no idea about their cholesterol levels and this is where the advantage of self-testing becomes an important factor.
The same goes for blood sugar (glucose) levels, which is usually high in most diabetes sufferers. It can also be high in people with certain heart conditions. Diabetes sufferers must, by necessity, test their blood glucose levels several time a day to ensure that it is not out of control. However, few sufferers of pre-diabetes know that self-testing could be a decided advantage in helping prevent or delay the onset of the disease.
Many people associate a high uric acid level with gout and this is certainly the case, but many arthritic sufferers have a high uric acid level as do many older persons and this can cause a number of health problems. It is also frequently the case that diabetics or those with heart disease have a higher than normal uric acid level. Being able to self-test and monitor these levels could well be an important factor. For gout sufferers it is an essential matter and for those with arthritis, it is also very important.
Hemoglobin blood levels is something that few people think about and yet it is a vital measurement relating to the red blood cells and a most important health factor. Abnormal hemoglobin levels could mean anything from iron deficiency to leukemia and heart disease. Many people with chronic health problems need to have their hemoglobin levels checked on a regular basis. The ability to self-test these levels has now become an important factor in a persons well being.

By testing and monitoring these levels in the home environment, not only provides quick results, but also could be a decided advantage for the individual and their health professional, in determining a course of action.
