8 Health Tests You Can Do at Home
You stand in front of the mirror and see a layer of fat above your waist, which is the fat surrounding the liver, plus jaundice, then there is a problem with the liver, according to Brightside.
Endocrine system:Waist circumference is one of the indicators of your health. A waist size no larger than size 34 in women and size 40 in men is normal. People with a waist size above this size are 5 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than normal people.
Brain:Draw a clock and ask your partner to tell you the time and minute so you can draw it correctly. This test involves many processes in the brain. The parts of the brain responsible for arm movement, spatial and visual perception are most active. Those who do not draw correctly are at risk of early dementia.
Spinal examination:Use two electronic scales and place each foot on one. Stand up straight and distribute your weight evenly on both sides. If the weight difference is too large, it may be a sign that your hips, spine, and head are misaligned. You need to go to the hospital for a check-up.
Respiratory system:You need a stopwatch to measure. First stand up straight and check your heart rate for 30 seconds. Then sit down and take 3 continuous breaths without exhaling. The result is that if you can hold your breath for 40-49 seconds, your respiratory system is working normally. Less than 40 seconds is poor respiratory system and more than 50 seconds, your respiratory system is really very healthy.
Bone:Wavy, bumpy or white-spotted nails can be a sign of vitamin B or iron deficiency or osteoporosis.
Vision test:First, look at the window frame for 30 seconds and close your eyes. Then open your left eye, close it, and open your right eye. If the image you see is blurry and the lines of the window are not parallel, it could be a sign of macular degeneration or vision loss.
Hearing test:Listen to people talking from 4-6 meters away. If you can't hear what they are saying, you should get checked. Note, this method should not be performed in crowded places with loud noises.
Liver test:Standing in front of the mirror, if you see a layer of fat above your waist, it is visceral fat surrounding the liver, preventing the liver from functioning effectively. In addition, signs such as yellow eyes and eye bags also warn of liver problems.
