Map Your Health Regularly For a Worry Free Life

Health Index

Prepare a Health Mark-sheet for yourself. Every month review it and fill the marks in it. You yourself can judge your health graph. There are six scales for a healthy body. Irregularity in any one of them is the symptom of irregular health.

Judge yourself

Pulse Rate

Heart beat of the normal person is 72.  It can also beat from 60 to 80 times.  Put your fingers on your wrist and measure your heart beat.

Blood Pressure

The second scale of the health is blood pressure.  With the growing age blood pressure check up should be got done from time to time.  During check up two types of Blood Pressure Systolic and Di-systolic are measured.  Di-systolic  should be 80 and Systolic in between 120 – 140 is normal.  Very high or very low, both are dangerous.

Respiration

Irregular function of respiratory system also is an indication to ill health.  A healthy person inhales and exhales 10 to 14 times in a minute. You should also check that how many times you inhale and exhale in a minute.

Body Temperature

The normal body temperature of a person is 98.4 degree Fahrenheit. If the temperature goes up more than this, it is not good for health.  It indicates several diseases in store.  On the other hand, if the temperature is less than this, you may complain of fatigue or other related problems.

Controlled Body Weight

For good health, controlled body weight is very important.  What should be your proper weight, depends on your age, height and sex. These days the weight loss business is in its full swing.  Everyone wants to become slim and trim.  Sometime this passion brings you in severe problems.

Last Scale

Going for urinal more times for a set period, is also a reason for some diseases.  You may be diabetic or may have kidney related problems.  So it is better to consult an expert for this.
