Because there are multiple factors that impact health, there is no single test that can measure an individual’s overall health. However, there are a number of tests (including comprehensive wellness panels) that, when performed on their own or in combination, can provide an invaluable amount of insight into a person’s general healthiness and wellbeing. These include: • Blood pressure testing • Cholesterol level tests • Blood glucose (sugar) testing • Spirometry (lung test) • Bloodwork There are also a variety of factors that influence health, including: • Hours of Sleep Each Night — The amount of sleep, as well as the quality of sleep, a person gets each night has a huge impact on overall health. Sleep is one of the most important bodily functions; without enough sleep, the body and mind cannot function properly, and will experience more complex problems the longer sleep deprivation occurs. • Alcohol Consumption — Alcohol has several effects on the body, many of which are deleterious; it can also influence a person’s overall health. • Amount of Exercise Daily/Weekly — Physical activity is one of the key ways to improve health. In fact, it is so important, a person’s overall health can often be measured by how much exercise they get on a daily basis. • Diet — The foods we eat have a significant impact on our health; whole foods, such as raw vegetables, nuts and legumes, can provide many health benefits, while processed and artificial foods can cause health problems. • Water/Fluid Intake — It is incredibly important to stay hydrated; our bodies are made up of roughly two-thirds water, so without enough water content, health problems can arise. • Body Fat Percentage — A person’s body fat percentage can have a big impact on their health; too much weight can increase the risk for certain diseases, and the opposite is also true.
