My answer to What is the best measure of health?
Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:
As we age, our body is not efficient in many bodily functions. We compare the health of our eyes with that of a healthy young person.
I will use genetic test (23andme), family history, comprehensive lab tests (blood,fecal,urine,pulmonary function test, eye test, mental and psychological tests, others) and doctor’s report (health assessment, physical exam,reflexes,tongue,skin color,others). My pulmonary function test shows a 60 yr old female. This is due to exposure to second hand smoking in the Philippines and air pollution. My blood test shows borderline diabetes although I consume whole foods and veggies. My family history is prone to heart disease and lung cancer.
Heart rate is the first thing that we measure. Ingestion of drugs or stimulants can increase heart rate.
- Examine the environment that you live (absence of toxins, drugs or medications, alcohol,cigarette,noise and air pollution).
- Monitor sleep status (8hrs of sleep) as the brain detoxes during sleep.
- Monitor exercise routine (30 min of exercise per day).
- Monitor whole food consumption vs junk food.
- Compare all tests with a normal healthy person.
Note: For a newborn, we look at the flexion of the body, skin tone, loudness of cry, ear lobes alignment with eyes, descent of scrotum, and many more.
Note: Presence of infection in blood test: Blood test results indicating infection
Note: Sample blood test panel, women: Blood test panel, women
