Health is measured in many different ways and knowing them can help you keep yours in check.
There are many different health factors we should monitor regularly but new research suggests many Brits have no idea what they are.
Dr Chun Tang, medical director at Pall Mall said: “It’s important we all try to have a good understanding of what it means to be healthy. How many vital health markers are you actually aware of? It isn't all about weight From glossy magazines to well-meaning health websites, the emphasis on our weight is far from the main health marker we should be paying attention to, says American media site CNET.
So what actually are the other important health markers? 1. Blood pressure High blood pressure widely known as ‘the silent killer’, means the force exerted against the artery walls is much larger than it should be. At the other end of the scale, a very high resting heart rate – tachycardia - can be a serious medical emergency.
If your ratio is higher than you're comfortable with, you’ll be pleased to know it can be changed. A study back in 2011 suggested a diet low in processed foods may lower your waist-to-hip ratio.5. Cholesterol levels The NHS states that more than two in five people in England have high cholesterol, making them twice as likely to develop heart disease.
