5. CBC (Complete Blood Count) =CBC lets you know when you have issues with infections or inflammation, but it will also signal when your diet is not balanced. When you are missing certain micronutrients, your body won’t be able to produce blood cells normally. It is important to keep track of your CBC values because many of them have a strong impact on your quality of life and longevity. Lipid Profile A lipid panel measures your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These markers are strongly linked to heart disease. To keep things simple, you want to make sure that your good cholesterol (HDL) is high and your bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides are low.

When you are missing certain micronutrients, your body won’t be able to produce blood cells normally.

7. Uric acid Uric acid is a tricky one. Too much uric acid causes kidney stones and gout and can increase an individual’s risk of heart disease and diabetes. So the lower the better, right? Not quite. Uric acid is also a natural antioxidant – it makes up to 60% of the blood’s antioxidant capacity. Also, studies show it may protect the brain from diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. That’s why you want to keep uric acid in a narrow optimal range. Uric acid test is part of kidney function test. Thyroid hormones (TSH) Thyroid hormones control the rate of your metabolism. They affect your cholesterol levels and insulin sensitivity. An underactive or overactive thyroid can cause issues with weight, energy levels, and mood. TSH is one of the most commonly tested markers to check thyroid function. A higher-than-normal level of TSH could mean your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism), while a lower-than-normal level could mean it’s overactive (hyperthyroidism).

8. Iron/Ferritin Iron deficiency is another common nutritional deficiency and the leading cause of anemia. According to both the WHO, iron deficiency affects up to 60 – 80% of the world’s population. On the other hand, some chronic diseases can cause iron overload, which is extremely toxic to our bodies. Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy Vitamin D) What are the benefits of testing your vitamin D levels? Well, Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies, so if you don't live a healthy lifestyle or are undergoing chronic health issues, you can lose Vitamin D. If you experience fatigue, backaches, muscle aches, digestive concerns, obesity, mood swings, and weakened immunity, you might have low Vitamin D levels. Next Page

9. hs-CRP C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein that fights bacteria and viruses and increases in response to infection. But it also increases in response to chronic stress. You will have higher CRP levels if you are overweight, have high blood pressure, have diabetes, smoke, have periodontal (gum) disease, don’t exercise, and/or are exposed to emotional stress. HbA1c While a blood glucose test shows your current glucose levels, HbA1c will tell you your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. If you are healthy, you should check it at least once a year, while people with diabetes may want to do it as often as 4 times a year. Apart from being a risk factor for diabetes, high HbA1c levels (even when still in the normal range) can increase a person’s risk of heart disease and all-cause mortality. This is one of those markers that you definitely want to keep in the optimal range.
