Mother’s Day is a special moment to celebrate the significance and well-being of mothers. A healthy mother is the heart of the family, who manages to care for her loved ones and herself, maintaining balance amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. At her best, a mother can be an example of healthy living…
One way for mom to take care of her health is by utilizing laboratory measurements. They can provide valuable information about the body’s condition, help prevent potential health issues and diseases before symptoms appear, and address these problems in a timely manner, if necessary, with the assistance of a doctor.
Laboratory measurements are also a good starting point if you don’t know where to begin in improving your lifestyle and well-being. For example, inflammation in the body or vitamin deficiency may not be visible or felt. For many, low iron or vitamin D levels can come as a surprise. Even small changes in lifestyle, such as diet, can bring more energy and stamina to everyday life.
Women, check at least these values
For women’s health, it’s important to pay attention to a few key indicators that can significantly impact well-being. With Puhti’s laboratory tests, it’s possible to monitor these important indicators affecting women’s health:
Ferritin: Ferritin is a measure of the body’s iron stores, and its level can affect energy and overall stamina. Low ferritin levels can lead to fatigue and reduced performance. Since menstruation depletes iron stores, monitoring ferritin is especially important for women.
Blood sugar: Blood sugar balance is an essential part of health, and measuring it can help detect potential risks such as insulin resistance, prediabetes, or diabetes. Regular monitoring of blood sugar is particularly important if there is a family history of diabetes.
Cholesterol: Cholesterol levels affect cardiovascular health. Puhti’s tests help monitor cholesterol levels and make necessary changes to diet and lifestyle. A family history of cardiovascular diseases is a good reason for regular cholesterol measurements.
Test packages designed for women
Extensive Puhti laboratory package (women) is designed to cover various aspects of women’s health. This package includes several tests that measure hormone levels, vitamin concentrations, and other important health indicators. It includes ferritin, complete blood count, cholesterol, blood sugar, inflammation marker (sensitive CRP), and thyroid test (TSH).
Laboratory package Sport (women) is an excellent choice for active women who want to optimize their performance and ensure their body receives all necessary nutrients. This package focuses on measurements important for exercise and physical activity, such as factors affecting muscle and joint well-being. It includes tests important for performance and recovery, such as iron and vitamin D levels, magnesium, vitamin B12, and potassium related to fluid balance.
The 50+ women’s laboratory package provides comprehensive information on how your body is doing. It includes complete blood count, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, ferritin, vitamin D, sodium, and potassium. Potassium is involved in the metabolism of the heart, muscles, kidneys, and central nervous system, as well as nerve impulse transmission. Together with sodium, potassium affects blood pressure and the body’s fluid balance. Sodium and potassium work as a pair, and their balance is important.
The Super Puhti package for women includes over 40 different indicators, providing comprehensive information on how your body is doing. It includes complete blood count, blood sugar, inflammation marker (sensitive CRP), cholesterol, vitamins, minerals, and tests reflecting liver, kidney, and thyroid function.
