Today's fitness Blog is about using Blood tests to determine potential nutritional deficiencies in determining ones risk for developing lifestyle oriented dis-eases. My most recent seminar I attended was very informative. It was about teaching doctors how to read tests.
I'm a member of Kaiser and I regularly get checks which at times involve drawing blood. The seminar I attended indicated that hospitals perform a standardize test to evaluate the MOST COMMON occurring markers that MAY indicate dis-ease in the body. The ? that was posed @ the seminar was this? What if you have markers in your blood that the standardize tests don't identify? Do we wait until symptoms and then address it? Well, the dis-ease state may all ready be under way. And when you do discover it. Here is where the factor becomes exponential:
- How long to treat. " Surgery or Drugs "
- How Much does it cost. " Time off from work " Life style changes
- What type of prognosis. " Functional or Disabled" " Do I get to keep on living"
I have to admit I didn't fall a sleep like I normally do at some of these seminars! This one piqued my interest. Currently, I'm reviewing some businesses that perform testing for the general public, primarily for the fitness segment. I'd like to see how this pans out and if there is any efficacy utilizing these tools. I'll be the first so that I have a better idea of what value this service can have. In the meantime read up on the "link" I sent to get familiar as to what is happening in the fitness realm.
