Brits in their 20s and 30s in particular are being urged to get these five health checks done 'before it's too late'
Doctors have listed the five health checks everyone should have 'before it's too late'. Ahead of reaching the age of 40, Brits are being urged to visit their GP to have a number of tests done to ensure their health is how it should be before getting any older.
Dr Sunny Jutla, Specialist Digital Clinician at Medichecks, recommends considering the five health checks listed below if you’re in your 20s or 30s. She added: "It’s important to look after your health no matter your age - health checks aren’t just for those over 40. "According to the NHS, more than two in five people have high cholesterol, which increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. It’s quick and easy to take a cholesterol blood test from home, and once you’ve received your results you’ll be able to start making any to reduce your levels, for example cutting back on alcohol and smoking, and exercising for at least 150 minutes a week.”
"There are plenty of helpful guides to follow when checking your own skin. If you notice any changes, you should visit your doctor as soon as possible. They can take a look and do a biopsy to test for cancer if necessary.” “If you’re experiencing symptoms like tiredness, low energy levels, shortness of breath and pale skin it’s best to take a blood test. If you discover you have an iron deficiency, speak to your doctor who might recommend daily iron tablets. You can also eat more iron rich foods, like red meats or spinach to help increase your iron levels.”
