Nutritional analysis testing is an important part of health screening ,
investigating possible chronic problems in a very important part of a
patient's health - his or her diet. Often, serious medical problems can
be treated simply by improving the diet.
Before nutritional analysis, the subject needs to abstain from food and
drink for 10 hours before the test, with the exception of water and
black coffee. As a result, most employee wellness coordinators will
want to schedule nutritional analysis for the mornings to minimize
discomfort.
CHEM-26 Nutritional Analysis
We at Employee Wellness USA call this part of our nutritional analysis
our "super chemistry" test. It is an inspection of total cholesterol
(HDL & HDL), glucose, triglycerides, calcium, uric acid,
electrolytes and iron. This nutritional analysis also checks for
kidney, liver and cardiovascular disease indicators.
Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid Nutritional Analysis
B-vitamins are an important part of bodily function, helping to release
the energy in carbs, protein and fat. With low levels of Vitamin B12, a
person risks anemia and even organ damage. Folic acid is just as
essential, assisting with the construction of new cells, lowering
homocysteine levels and aiding B12 in its functions. Folic acid
deficiency is a common problem in the U.S., in part because aspirin and
antacids can drive down folic acid levels. A good nutritional analysis
will pinpoint B12 and folic acid problems.
TIBC Nutritional Analysis
TIBC, or total iron binding capacity, is a measure of how efficiently
iron is moved through the body by the blood. Lack of protein can cause
a TIBC levels drop; high levels of TIBC may mean an iron deficiency in
the diet.
