Here are some of the important tests to check for good health, and ideal levels to aim for.

These are a LOT more important than an ‘ideal’ figure on the weighing scale, or the cosmetic, ego-boosting 6-packs.

If we can achieve these levels, we can be quite sure we’re Healthy, and we can Stay Healthy.

hsCRP           <1

FBS               <95 ( although some say 75)

HbA1c           <5.6 (ideal below 4.9)

BP                <120/80.  At any age. 200 minus age is NOT acceptable.

HDL              >50 males, >60 females.

Waist            < 90cm, 35″ males, < 80cm, 31″ females.

Aim for these values. By following a regime of healthy eating as described in the post ‘ What should I eat?‘, and regular exercise, we can be healthy and disease-free.

And remain Healthy. Simple!
