Why Health Screening Matters

Preventive healthcare is about staying one step ahead. Regular screening can:

  • Detect silent conditions like high cholesteroldiabetes, or thyroid imbalance before symptoms develop.
  • Monitor markers linked to heart healthkidney and liver function, and nutrient levels.
  • Guide lifestyle changes that reduce future disease risk.

Even small changes in diet, exercise or supplements can have a measurable impact once you know your numbers.

🔍 Around 1 in 14 adults in the UK are living with diabetes — and an estimated 850,000 people don’t yet know they have it.
Early screening for blood sugar levels and HbA1c can detect diabetes or pre-diabetes before symptoms appear.
