INTRODUCTION

Screening tests can detect diseases early and make them easier to treat. Furthermore, screening tests may not only help you to get all the necessary tests to improve your health, but it can also improve the wellbeing of those around you. Your doctor can tell you which diseases need to be screened according to your age and family history, but here are some of the more common issues you may need to be screened for:

CHOLESTEROL

Once you turn 35, have your cholesterol checked regularly. Furthermore, high blood or cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease.

BLOOD PRESSURE

Have your blood pressure checked at least every two years unless your doctor suggests it more often. Furthermore, high blood pressure may increase your chance of getting a heart attack, kidney disease and stroke. If you have high blood pressure, you may need medication to control it.

Healthy lifestyle

Eating healthy may prevent and manage heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic diseases. A balanced, healthy dietary pattern includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy products and limits added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. Furthermore, regular physical activity may help you prevent or manage chronic diseases.
