Health checks that could SAVE YOUR LIFE

In recent years, we’ve taken a different approach to our health. We’ve been increasingly encouraged to look after ourselves without necessarily making our GP the first port of call. Pharmacy reforms are allowing us to access more healthcare on the high street, and DIY tests mean that we can check for various conditions without needing a doctor’s appointment. With this in mind, here’s our selection of quick and easy at-home tests that you can do in your own time.

Anaemia

Iron deficiency anaemia commonly occurs due to a lack of iron in your diet, leading to a reduction in red blood cells. In the UK, it affects 8% of the female population. Symptoms include low energy, breathlessness and pale skin. Untreated, it can lead to heart problems and reduced immunity.
