There are a number of excuses that we may use to avoid health checks on a regular basis. Some examples are that we are too young and healthy to need such medical examinations, too scared that something might actually be wrong with us or that we are just too busy. But whatever the excuse, research shows that going for check-ups can actually save lives, both young and old. We should always have an exact notion of our cardiovascular health and learn as much about it as possible. We must know about any risk factors to which we are exposed, such as having high cholesterol, hypertension or being overweight or obese. Here at Sanguine Spa Health & Beauty, you are sure to have a proper health check on the following:
The heart is a muscle about the size of your fist. It pumps blood around your body and needs a certain amount of pressure to do so. The blood is carried away from the heart in a network of tubes called arteries.
Ideally, we should all have a blood pressure
below 120 over 80 (120/80). This is the ideal blood pressure for
people wishing to have good health. At this level, we have a much
lower risk of heart disease or stroke.
If your blood pressure is optimal, this is great
news. By following our healthy living advice, you will be able to
keep it this way. If your blood pressure is above 120/80mmHg, you
will need to lower it.
Cholesterol is both our friend and foe. At normal levels, it is an essential substance for the body's normal functioning, but if its levels in the blood get too high, it becomes a silent danger that puts us at risk of a heart attack.
You may not notice if you have high cholesterol
because you can’t feel it. Measuring your blood cholesterol
involves a simple blood test that will help you to monitor it and
encourage you to cultivate a healthy lifestyle.
Your Body Mass Index (BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women) is a good measurement that the body requires for monitoring and cultivating healthy eating habits and activities that will help you to keep fit.
By getting the right health diagnostic services,
keeping fit, eating well and treating your body, you are taking
steps that increase your chances of living a longer, healthier
life.
Your age, health and family history, lifestyle
choices (i.e. what you eat, how active you are, whether you smoke)
and other important factors impact what and how often you need
healthcare.
