Assalamualaikum and hello to my #hive family. Welcome to another blog. I hope you are all doing well and having a good time. I am also doing pretty well. Today's topic is interesting one. So please stick it till the end. I hope it will be an informative and helpful blog for you.
Health is the most valuable thing in our lives. Without proper health, man is nothing. We spend so much money on buying clothes, shoes and other necessary items of life. But we don't because health is not our priority in life, so we don't spend as much as it should be spent on our health. Most of us don't undergo blood tests or other body tests for many years. They don't know what's going on in their body. In a country like Pakistan, many people are diabetic but they don't know about it. Similarly many are suffering from different diseases like cancer, Aids, Hepatitis etc but they are not aware about these diseases.
Life is very precious and valuable gift of God. We should take care of ourselves. Spending on health should be part of our lives.
I am a person who always take care of my health. I think if we are healthy we are lucky and we can take responsibility of our family as well. I try to undergo blood tests and know what's happening in my body.
I think one blood test which every person should undergo is lipid profile test. This test is a necessary test because by undergoing this particular test, you know about cholesterol level in your body. You know about the quantity of LDL that is called good cholesterol in your body. Quantity of good cholesterol or LDL should be more in your body because it strengthen our heart. On the other hand HDL which is called bad cholesterol's quantity should be less in your body. Quantity of total cholesterol and triglasrides should be also less in your body.
Few days ago I visited a branch of Pakistan's number one lab that is called Agha Khan Lab Karachi. It is located at government high school road Mianwali city. One of my friends suggested this lab for blood tests. Actually I had to undergo Lipid Profile test. I wanted to know my HDL, LDL, Triglycerides and my total cholesterol. A man sitting on the reception of the lab, took my blood sample and ask me to deposit 3100 PKR. I deposited fee and asked him when I can get my results. So he told you may check our website after 24 hours. We will upload the results of your blood test. You can download your result from there. He gave me a receipt on which a unique I'd and password was written. So next day after 24 hours, I checked my results amd download my desired slip.
I was pretty much pleased after seeing my test results. Alhamdolillah the results was almost normal. Total cholesterol and HDL was bit high which was not a big issue at all. Although I will have to reschedule my diet plan. I have to quit parathas because my HDL is slightly higher than normal. High HDL may cause heart attack because fat added in veins and it cause heart disease. Here is my lipid profile test report.
So in the end I would say if we want to remain healthy we should undergo complete body tests after every six months. We should be aware what's going on in our body. What we lack and what is in abundance in our body. What is harming our health and what measures should we take?
