3 Essential Health Tests
Oral Glucose-Tolerance Test
With this test, you’ll find out if you’re one of the too many men out there with undiagnosed diabetes. Unlike a standard fasting blood-sugar check, the tolerance test stresses your metabolism to see how your body handles a glucose load.
How it’s done
After a night of fasting and a morning glucose drink, your blood is drawn several times over three hours. A result higher than 11 mmol/l at the two-hour mark is trouble. Before you turn to drugs, talk to your doctor about overhauling your eating and exercise habits.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test
A high CRP level is a sign of arterial inflammation, your body’s ‘Heart Attack Ahead’ billboard. Research published in the New England Journal of Medicine reveals that men with the highest CRP numbers have three times greater odds of infarction than those with low levels.
How it’s done
Just offer up your arm. If the result is higher than five milligrams per liter, dish up the fiber: a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine states that consuming 30g of fiber daily can slash your CRP by 40 percent.
Mole Mapping
Australia has the highest skin-cancer rate in the world, so it’s a good idea to go for a mole check once a year to catch any developing melanomas (dangerous skin tumors) early. Mole mapping involves taking a digital photo of your skin – while at the same time taking a closer look at any moles that look suspicious – and plotting the location of any moles on a computer. Then, when you return a year later, a second mole map will reveal any new growths – which are the ones to really worry about. If you have 50 moles on your back there’s no way you’re going to know if you suddenly have 51. Current technology allows us to assess the state of the skin without having to do unnecessary biopsies.
How it’s done.
Most general practitioners don’t have the equipment, so you’ll need a dermatologist. As for the actual photo shoot, all you have to do is strip.

HEALTH (essential hypertesion case)?

Aside from diet and exercise (which it sounds like you’re covering nicely), there are some herbs that are very beneficial for Blood Pressure. The most popular ones are Fish Oil, Hawthorn Berries, L-Arginine, C12 Peptides (from milk protein casein), Bonito Peptides, and Garlic.
With that being said, I would definitely check with a pharmacist or doctor to make sure if any of the drugs you’re taking would have interactions with these supplements. Also, you may want to ask if any of the prescriptions have increased blood pressure as a possible side effect… sometimes doctors don’t tend to read off the whole list of side effects of drugs. Good luck!

My mother is 82 Years old and she suffered from high blood pressure for more than 30 years and doctors where never able to control it, I started investigating and reading about natural cures for high blood pressure and I found out that "salmon oil" helps to control it, I tried with my mother, now her blood pressure is 120/80it used to be 180/100 sometimes higher. I want to tell you something very important and I want for you to take seriously, two years ago my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, since then I started to investigate what causes it, two months ago I found a study from Europe, where they found that 98% of the patients with Alzheimer’s they studied suffered from high blood pressure from more then 10 years and they were taking medications for it. Please if you can, go to a doctor that practice natural medicine, please don’t give a way your life to the pharmaceutical companies that are creating new way to make money from people, high blood pressure is treatable with natural medicine.
