A thorough physical exam includes some routine blood tests and, I believe, at least one that you should request if it's not offered: a check of your vitamin D level (deficiency is common). You should have the following tests every time you have a complete physical: CBC and differential: This complete blood count measures your red blood cells (which carry oxygen throughout the body), your white blood cells (your immune cells) and platelets (which help blood clot) as well as the shapes, sub-types and sizes of these cells. Here, the trend over time is more important than any single finding: a low red blood cell count might mean anemia (the "differential" analysis tells you whether a low count stems from...

Normal urine is clear and has a straw yellow color, caused by a bile pigment called urobilin.

Researchers have concluded from studies of mice that ingesting artificial sweeteners might lead to—of all things—obesity and related ailments such as diabetes.

And this result suggests the connection might also exist in humans.In humans, as well as mice, the ability to digest and extract energy from our food is determined not only by our genes but also by the activity of the trillions of microbes that dwell within our digestive tract; collectively, these bacteria...
