Blood pressure: This is important if you are a type A personality, or you have a family history of high blood pressure. Blood tests: a) Blood sugar, fasting and after eating to check for pre-diabetic conditions. Stress and high blood pressure can lead to cardiovascular disorders. b) Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) gives an average reading of blood sugar levels for three months. For instance, we tend to eat the same way in our fourth and fifth decades as we did as teenagers.
