Did you know that regular blood testing is one of the most important ways
to keep track of your overall health? As the old saying goes, "Knowledge
is power", and in Campbell County, our community is lucky to have
Campbell County Health
Wellness, which offers
daily health screenings to make it easy and affordable to have your blood checked regularly.
Some of the benefits of having your blood drawn and analyzed annually include:
-
monitoring your blood sugars that relate to
Diabetes
-
knowing your
thyroid function can help to evaluate your metabolic function, and relates to many of your
body's systems
-
evaluating your
Cholesterol regularly helps to assess your risk of
heart disease and
stroke.
- if you take medications regularly, it can be wise to monitor your kidney
and liver functions
-
knowing if you are deficient in minerals like
iron or calcium can lead to prevention of osteoporosis, anemia and even help
you to improve your overall energy
All this information and more can be gained by having a simple blood draw
