Health benefits of exercising as explained by our medical team at Biomidas Medical Laboratories :
1. Exercise controls weight
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.
2. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases
Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight is, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol, and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides.

Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns, including: Stroke, Metabolic syndrome, High blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, Depression, Anxiety, Many types of cancer, Arthritis.

Premarital screening consists of a comprehensive group of tests we can do at Biomidas Medical Laboratories. It is meant especially for those who are planning to get married. The tests are designed to identify potential health problems that may have an impact on one's fertility and also to detect some of the hereditary diseases and infections.

Why is premarital screening important?

Many people are not aware of their state of health. Thats how we come in as Biomidas Medical Laboratories to make a medical diagnosis ( investigation). An individual might look healthy but he/she may have undetected health problems or be a silent carrier of infectious or hereditary diseases. A routine blood test can reveal such conditions so that necessary precautions or treatments can be initiated.

What is a lipid panel?
A lipid panel is a blood test that measures the levels of specific fat molecules known as lipids in the bloodstream. Typically, this panel includes four different measurements of cholesterol and a measurement of triglycerides.
Elevated levels of lipids, including cholesterol and triglycerides, can lead to the accumulation of plaque in the blood vessels and arteries, which can cause damage and increase the risk of cardiovascular problems.
Therefore, healthcare professionals at Biomidas Medical Laboratories, utilize lipid panels to assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease, heart attack, and stroke in both children and adults.
The primary purpose of a lipid panel is :
To evaluate someone's cardiovascular health by analyzing the cholesterol levels in their blood.
Additionally, it is also used to aid in the diagnosis of other medical conditions. There are several reasons why our healthcare providers may order a lipid panel, including:
- Conducting a routine test to determine if the individual's cholesterol level falls within the normal range or if it falls into a borderline, intermediate, or high-risk category.
- Monitoring the cholesterol levels of individuals who have previously had abnormal results on a lipid panel or who have other risk factors for heart disease.
- Tracking the body's response to treatment, such as cholesterol medications or lifestyle changes.
- Assisting in the diagnosis of other medical conditions, such as liver disease.

MANAGING DIABETES
so as to understand the fact that you have diabetes, the first step is to consult a competent diabetologist, take a blood glucose test and get a robust treatment plan. But in the case of diabetes, a treatment would work only with your active participation. You need to do certain things for optimum disease control and to lead an active life.
• Frequent self-monitoring of blood glucose levels (as per doctor’s advice). It is important for type 1 diabetes patients to check their blood sugar levels at 3: 00 AM.
• Maintain your diet chart. Ensure that your meal consists of complex carbohydrates (55- 65%), vegetables, and protein (not more than 15%). The diet should also contain a balance of mono and polysaturated fats.
• Restrict your sodium (salt)intake to 1500 milligrams per day.
• Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day. Physical activity is very important to maintain diabetes control. Get more than 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity aerobic activity. Get cardiac assessment before physical activity.
• Stick to your medications. Never miss out even on a single dose of medication.
• Quit smoking. Smoking has devastating consequences along with diabetes.
