The 6 vital health points we check:
Blood pressure is the pressure of your blood against the vessel walls. Diets high in salt and fat, being overweight, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, smoking, and stress can all contribute to increased blood pressure.
Most people with high blood pressure have no symptoms and feel well; however, when blood pressure is consistently high, it puts strain on the heart and blood vessels, which can lead to damage of the brain, heart, kidneys and eyes.
Glucose (from food) is one of the body’s main fuels. When you absorb glucose, insulin is released to signal to your body that it’s time to pack away the glucose and reduce your blood-sugar level.
When a blood test shows a high level of glucose in the blood, it indicates there could be impaired insulin release, or some resistance to insulin. This may gradually lead to type 2 diabetes.
Check out your blood sugar level to find out whether your insulin levels are in a safe range.
Did you know that in 2008, 61% of Australians were overweight?Around a quarter of the population is actually obese.
The effects of being overweight are all negative, and can include gallbladder disease, heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, stroke, sleep apnoea, and even cancer.

Discovering your BMI can help you get an idea of the amount and distribution of fat in your body, and any associated risks.
Overweight people are more likely to develop high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes type 2, stroke, joint problems, gallbladder disease, sleep apnoea, and breathing problems. Knowing your BMI (and how you can improve it) can help prevent all of these outcomes.
Everyone needs a certain amount of cholesterol for cell membranes, bile, hormones and vitamin D. Cholesterol is made up of good cholesterol (HDL) and bad cholesterol (LDL).
While good cholesterol is, as the name suggests, good, a build up of bad cholesterol inside your blood vessels increases your risk of high blood pressure, stroke, angina, heart attack, kidney failure, colon cancer, diabetes, and weight gain.

Your heart rate is measured by your number of heartbeats per unit of time, typically expressed as beats per minute (bpm).
Heart rate can vary as the body’s need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide changes, such as during exercise or sleep.
The measurement of heart rate is used by medical professionals to assist in the diagnosis and tracking of medical conditions.
