If you're trying to eat healthier foods and getting in a little more exercise, good for you! Now there's one more thing to do to assure a healthier life: know your numbers — not just your height and weight, but also your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
If found early, high blood pressure, elevated LDL cholesterol and high blood glucose levels are all very treatable and can be controlled.
Do you know your numbers? Lt. Governor John Carney's "Know Your Numbers" awareness campaign urges you to make an appointment with your healthcare provider and discuss which tests might be best for your health. These screenings are easy, they take only a few moments to complete, and they are well worth your time.
