May be none: Describe your symptoms, if you have any, and let your doctor figure, which, if any tests may be needed. No tests may be needed for person of your age who is in good health. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

General Health: Your doc will take a history and do a physical exam. He/she will know what tests to order. If you have a specific concern please be sure to let the doc know. Peace and good health.
