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."

The 13 self-exams help you to monitor flexibility, allergies, nutritional deficiencies, emotional overload, thyroid functioning and much more: http://bit.ly/dmxaMe

Additionally, you may want to complete the free online RealAge quiz to see how your diet and lifestyle impact your health and what changes might make you "younger" and healthier: http://www.realage.com/reg/regvar/st1.aspx?mod=LONGFORM

Queendom.com offers a number of tests to also gauge your relationship health as well as help you find more purpose professionally by assessing your best skills: http://www.queendom.com/tests/index.htm

If you find that you have a health question and prefer not to speak with your health professional you might want to "Ask RxPerts" via the newly launched female wellness portal ChickRx.com: http://www.chickrx.com/ask-rxperts
