Have You Checked Your Blood Pressure Lately?

 

Blood pressure is the measure of the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls. The heart pumps blood into the arteries (blood vessels), which carry the blood throughout the body. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is dangerous because it makes the heart work harder to pump blood out to the body and contributes to hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, to stroke, kidney disease, and to the development of heart failure.

Seeing your health care professional regularly is essential. For many people, there are no signs that anything is wrong until the blood pressure levels get quite high…. and if you already know your blood pressure is high, monitoring the numbers is essential. Your personal doctor watches over you and monitors different levels—blood pressure, blood tests, xrays etc. Anything written here is not intended to replace advice or information given to you by your physician.

What Does It Mean to Be Resilient?

shutterstock_408418192Merriam-Webster defines resilience as a character trait in which a person is “able to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens.” If you’ve ever experienced a loss personally or professionally, you know just how hard it is to recover. If you’re not in the best of health physically, mentally or financially, it could prove to be very difficult.

That’s why it’s important to do what you can now, prior to a loss, to become more resilient. This could be something as simple as adding more exercise to your daily routine or choosing to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in place of canned goods. It may involve taking regular breaks to rest and recharge your batteries.

Inflammation

I had my 6 month appointment with my cardiologist last week. I mentioned my Omega 3 capsules. He told me if I ever got an aftertaste from them, I should freeze them and then it wouldn’t happen. I had no idea of this!! He told me the purpose of the Omega 3 (fish oil) is to reduce inflammation. Well, it turns out inflammation does damage to many more areas of our body than the heart.

Men and Women—Different in Many Ways

We all know that obviously men and women have different appearances. Body shapes are usually different—men tend to gain muscle mass while women don’t (or at least most don’t) want bulging muscles.

Emotionally we are different–Men and women respond differently to stress—when a woman is upset, she usually needs to talk to someone to gain the comfort of others and to release those emotions. Most men hide more of their emotions and just handle it!
