My over 50 MOT health check, was told that most of this was due to not smoking!
BMI ..... Spot on
Cholesterol.... Excellent
Blood pressure.. Fab
erm.. whatever they look for in your wee?... good!
Am very very pleased and this is all down to not smoking and the healthy lifestyle I have adopted since 
Nice one
The doctors wrote to me last year about an over 40's health check, I guess I should go in some time. I already know I'm a little bit overweight and my alcohol consumption is little over the recommended, but I have no idea what my blood pressure or cholesterol is.
Thanks Nic, I made the appointment myself because my cousin told me her cholesterol was high and had been given medication. As I had never had mine checked before, curiosity got the better of me. Am glad I went, was buzzing when I came out
I had my cholesterol checked a long time ago, at a gym induction, and they couldn't measure any. I wasn't convinced that the machine was actually working!
Yeah we get offered them here too Karri, I just beat them to it lol. Didn't realise you are 50 too x
That's awesome hellerscatch. I bet the results would be much worse if you were still smoking.
I had a complete blood checkup 2-3 years ago and my cholesterol was less than ideal and atherosclerosis index dangerously close to the upper limit. Mind you, I was 27 year-old at the time and not overweight.
I bet the results will be different in a couple of months when I check it again. I am sure (not) smoking is to blame. :mad:
Kacmins I am positive that 2 year ago I would have had the opposite result....
Hope you get a better result next time
Glad to hear everything went well HS X
