Ranges for blood chemistry are good indicators of our health. Regular blood work is beneficial in that it is a good screen for diseases and it records health markers at given times so that a history is established. Blood work can also help indicate nutritional and functional status.
I like to use blood work preventively. I have heard many times my blood work is all normal this is great, it means you do not have a diagnosable disease, but it doesnt guarantee that you are in good health. I like to look at blood ranges with the word optimal in mind. In other words, standard ranges for blood chemistry tend to be fairly wide. When the ranges are narrowed, they can help pinpoint deficiencies and/or functional problems that can be addressed with nutrition.
Standard blood work can give information about nutritional intake, digestion, mineral balance, essential fatty acid deficiencies, blood sugar handling, hydration, hormone balance, immune status, liver function and kidney function. In most cases, health problems do not develop overnight and using regular blood work as a preventive tool tells you what areas to target and if the things you are doing are working.
