High levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease because it can lead to fatty deposits which build up in the walls of your arteries. These can gradually grow and make it increasingly difficult for blood to flow through your blood vessels, putting increased pressure on your heart.
High levels of triglycerides may contribute to arteriosclerosis, which is the hardening or thickening of the artery wall.
High cholesterol can be caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices, but can also be genetic. Quite often it is possible to reduce cholesterol levels with healthier lifestyle choices, but there are simple and effective medications, such as statins, available too.
Having diabetes means that there are often high levels of glucose in your blood which can damage blood vessels. It can also cause damage to your nerves which control your heart.
People with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that can raise the risk of heart disease, such as hypertension, or high blood pressure. This can cause damage to your artery walls as the blood is pushed through with such increased force.
People with diabetes are two to four times as likely to develop cardiovascular disease.
Knowing your thyroid level can identify whether your thyroid is functioning normally or if it is under worked or over worked.
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland in your neck. It makes two hormones that your body needs for all your cells to function properly. Essentially your thyroid gland regulates the speed that your body cells work at.
An underactive or overactive thyroid gland can cause problems with mood, tiredness, anxiety, depression and weight issues.
Knowing the health and performance of your kidneys can provide early detection of chronic kidney disease which is a long term condition. This is key in preventing kidney disease from progressing into kidney failure.
The kidneys remove waste from the body via the urine. The kidneys also produce hormones that affect the function of other vital organs.
Knowing your liver function can determine the health of your liver and identify liver disease.
The liver is the largest organ in the body and performs over 500 functions including filtration of blood, production of bile and the digestion of essential proteins. Your liver also supplies glucose (sugar) to your blood and helps to maintain a healthy level of glucose in your blood.
Knowing your levels of three key vitamins that are essential for wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle can help you to make informed decisions about your lifestyle and your diet.
Vitamin deficiencies can lead to a wide range of symptoms like low energy, fatigue, low mood, and irritability so it's essential to understand if these symptoms are attributed to vitamin deficiencies.
