There are things we should know about ourselves. Lots of things for our peace of mind and our health. There are four important numbers that are indicators of our health.
Blood Pressure
Blood Sugar
Cholesterol
Bone Density.
I am prompted to write about this because of renal failure in a close friend. There were no symptoms, still aren't. The only way that this diagnosis came to light was by way of blood tests. So now my friend is closely monitored. She keeps a two litre jug of water on the bench in her kitchen.
Even though the numbers can be pointers to potentially scary problems, it is so important to know. Then, if we know, we can take steps. Information is power.
Be brave, find out your numbers. You have two months.
Habit of the week

They call osteoporosis the silent thief and hypertension, the silent killer. No thanks. Information is power.
