In today’s fast paced world, people are generally aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. People are aware of the need to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, reduce the intake of excess alcohol, as well as look after their mental wellbeing. What is often neglected is a quick two-minute regular blood test.
In the realm of “Health”, blood tests are invaluable tools to ensure our well-being. A comprehensive blood test provides a guide to our internal health and can identify potential health issues before they physically manifest.
In this blog, our Wellness Specialists in London delve into the importance of regular screening blood tests in looking after our health. Get in touch with Dr Apul Parikh to book a consultation for your next blood test in London, and understand your health on a deeper level.
Routine blood tests provide information about the functioning of vital organs. These include organs such as the heart, kidney, liver, and thyroid.
Blood tests can detect underlying health issues at an early stage, often long before physical health issues manifest. These can include diabetes, cholesterol, iron, and vitamin levels. Even if patients follow a healthy lifestyle, genetic factors can cause significant health issues. Early detection allows for quick timely interventions.
Early detection of cancer plays an integral role in the treatment of cancers. The earlier the cancer is detected, the more successful the outcome is. Late detection of cancers can potentially lead to more extensive and intensive treatments.
Certain blood tests can be carried out to confirm if you have specific allergies (such as wheat intolerance), or autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis).
As we age, there are changes that occur within our bodies. Hormone levels such as oestrogen, progesterone, and prostate levels (in men) change. These can cause significant lifestyle & health issues. They can also explain other health issues, including hair loss, & skin dryness. Early medical interventions can make a huge difference here.
People with established chronic health issues such as diabetes, need regular screening tests to ensure adequate medical control.
In conclusion, incorporating regular blood tests into your wellness and health routine can be a great way to monitor what goes on within your body. These quick and efficient tests offer a wide variety of insights and can provide you with a proactive approach to your health and wellbeing.
