What is health span?
Health span refers to the number of years we spend living in good health, free from chronic diseases. Unlike life span, health span concerns not only with how long we live, but how well we live those years.
In the past century, life expectancy has more than doubled from around 32 years in 1900 to 71 years in 2021, thanks to medical and technological advancements. Out attention now shifts towards the relatively new concept of health span, aiming for a healthier life.
This is why we introduce EverWell, a comprehensive health check programme, to help you better understand your blood biomarkers.
What is a blood biomarker?
Blood biomarkers are measurable indicators of various physiological processes in the body. They can reveal vital information about your metabolic health, nutritional status, and even potential disease risks. By tracking these biomarkers, you can make informed decisions about your diet, exercise, and lifestyle to support your overall well-being.
How frequently should you check your biomarkers?
It generally depends on your individual health goals and existing conditions.
For most people, a good rule of thumb is to check every year. However, if you're making significant lifestyle changes and want to track your progress, or have specific health concerns, more frequent testing may be beneficial.
We recommend starting with a comprehensive test to gain a complete understanding of your overall health. This initial assessment provides a full picture to help you identify any areas that may need attention.
In subsequent years, you can opt to retake specific biomarker tests based on your health needs. This tailored approach allows you to focus on the most relevant aspects of your health.
