On August 25, Fitness magazine's health blog outlined 13 "instant health checks" you can do in seconds to make sure you are healthy from head to toe.

The author of The Women's Healthy Heart Program ($15.95/€12.61) and spokeswoman for the American Heart Association Nieca Goldberg, MD, noted "Quick self-assessments help you take stock not only of your health, but also of your health habits, so you can make changes now if something could cause problems down the line."
