A simple blood test can reflect the cholesterol level, the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and so on many health indicators. Associate professor of immunology at the university of uppsala, Sweden, Stephen grace, "said Dr Ross everyone there are 1000 ~ 2000 in the blood protein can be detected. Each protein play multiple functions, to understand the deeper, more mysteries can reveal the body.

1. You of the "biological age. "Biological age" refers to compared with the same age people, body and age of the internal system. Grace in the study, Stephen Ross and his colleagues collected blood samples from 1000 people, and the protein level and type of model, the results of the analysis can assess a person's "relatively young" or "more" aging.

2. Ever suffered a concussion. Mainly finger suffered concussion after the strike force, transient brain dysfunction. Sometimes it's pathological change is not obvious, even in a few hours or a few days later there will be no obvious symptoms. But if suffered a second blow in a row, the harm of patients can be fatal. Journal of the journal of the American medical association, neurology, according to research published by means of a specific protein markers detection, to determine 7 days in human brain by the impact the severity of the concussion.

3. The degree of dehydration. Dehydration can affect the person's kidney function, feel more tired, hard to articulate. Research shows that helpage agency, about 20% of older adults with dehydration and blood tests can reveal a person's dehydration, whether it is dangerous.

5. Depression. For some people even doctors, sometimes it's hard to distinguish between depression and clinical depression. A recent Austrian study identified a specific type of brain chemicals, through testing, it can tell if your depression to a certain extent.

6. Have you ever suffered from some diseases. The body to generate antibodies in "defeat" to resist disease, some of these antibodies in the blood for life, such as hepatitis b, toxoplasma, etc. , researchers say, in addition to these antibodies could help doctors better understand disease impact on a person's immune system, also help to offer more effective drugs or find a more effective treatment.

6. Do you have a risk of alcoholism. At the university of Illinois, the researchers found that often "drink booze sea" in the blood called "PEth" chemical levels to soar. "PEth" level with elderly adults drinking is closely related to.

7. Anxiety is out of control. Anxiety is stress or worry physical reactions, such as shoulder tightness, heart rate, etc. Israeli Hebrew university researchers said, when the anxiety, the body to release a specific protein. By detecting the protein level, can determine a person's anxiety is a normal control, or will be out of control.
