New Personalabs Health Snapshot Helps Americans Increase Life Expectancy and Dramatically Lower Medical Expenses
FORT MYERS, Fla. (PRWEB) June 04, 2018 -- In response to the developing healthcare crisis in the United States, Personalabs has introduced the Health Snapshot - a simple but revolutionary new personal healthcare tool that is helping Americans become healthier, live longer and dramatically lower their lifetime medical costs.
“The CDC Foundation tells us that nearly 800,000 Americans die each year from heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases,” said Dr. Edward Salko, Board Certified Physician and Medical Director of Personalabs. “Americans are spending nearly $1 billion per day — or one in every six healthcare dollars — on medical treatments for cardiovascular disease alone."
"By 2030, annual direct medical costs associated with cardiovascular diseases are projected to rise to more than $818 billion, while lost productivity costs could exceed $275 billion. These chronic diseases are placing a clear and unsustainable burden on our healthcare system and bankrupting too many uninsured and underinsured Americans who cannot afford to pay for the out-of-pocket costs of treatment, ” Dr. Salko added.
The alarming increase in the number of Americans needing costly treatment for heart disease, stroke and diabetes can be attributed to the typical American’s sedentary lifestyle combined with the typical American diet that is high in calories, sugar, and processed foods.
The Personalabs Health Snapshot makes it easy for any adult to order a simple set of screening tests directly online without having to get a doctor’s order first to find out whether they are at high risk for cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
Once they receive their test results along with their personal health score, they will be able to make informed decisions about lifestyle changes they can make to prevent the development of a chronic lifestyle disease.
The Personalabs Health Snapshot measures the five risk factors that increase an individual’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Individuals who test positive for three or more of the risk factors are deemed to be at moderate or high risk.
The five risk factors measured by the Personalabs Health Snapshot are:
1) Waistline Size. A waistline measuring 40 inches or more in men or 35 inches or more in women is a risk factor, indicating excess abdominal fat.
2) HDL Cholesterol levels —greater than 40 mg/dL in men and 50 mg/dL in women.
3) High Triglycerides—greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL.
4) Fasting Blood Sugar (glucose)—greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL.
5) High Blood Pressure—greater than or equal to 130/85 mmHg.
The knowledge gained from their Personalabs Health Snapshot can help consumers detect and prevent the development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other costly and life-threatening diseases while saving tens — or even hundreds — of thousands of dollars in out of pocket medical costs not covered by insurance plans.
Those who purchase the Personalabs Health Snapshot will also be given the option to schedule a telephone or video consultation with one of Personalabs’ on-call physicians to review their test results and discuss recommended lifestyle changes to maintain their health and add years to their life.
The Personalabs Health Snapshot is affordably priced at just $129. For more information about the Personalabs Health Snapshot or to order a Snapshot online, visit: https://www.personalabs.com/health-snapshot or call (888) 438-5227 and ask to speak with a Personalabs customer service representative.
