    Life Line Screening was pleased to provide the "Know Your 5" screening for the Dr. Oz show. This screening highlighted the 5 important numbers everyone needs to know about their health. These numbers are:

    Weight

    Waist Size

    Blood Pressure

    Cholesterol

    Glucose (sugar)

    Knowing these numbers, and monitoring them over time, can help you keep track of what is going on inside your body, before you may even feel any symptoms. Blood pressure, for example, can rise rather dramatically before you may begin to feel sick. But having high blood pressure is a serious health problem that leaves you at risk for stroke.

    Monitoring these 5 numbers is easy and only takes a few minutes. Make sure to get your five checked every year.
