DIY Check-Up

Do these five simple tests to see if you're really as healthy as you think you are…

1. BREATHING Once a month, you should check your breasts for lumps. Breast cancer in women is higher than any other form of cancer, and one in five cases are in young women.
Test: Feel each breast from your collarbone to the bra line at the bottom, and from midway between your breasts to an imaginary line down from the middle of your armpit. Use the flat part of your fingers and move them around in small circles, lightly, then firmly. Look for lumps, rashes, and changes in skin colour, puckering, roughness or dimpling of the skin, pulling in of the nipple or swelling of the armpit.
2. BREASTS
3. HEART
4. HEARING
5. CHOLESTEROL
