Blood Pressure Monitors

Blood pressure as a biological fact for your body is entirely normal – it’s just a measurement of how hard your heart is working to pump blood around your body and is measured with a set of two numbers. The first number is your systolic level of blood pressure, which is measured as blood is being pumped from your heart – this will be the higher number.

The second measurement is diastolic pressure which is when the blood is being pumped back into your heart and will be the lower of the two numbers in a blood pressure reading. An average blood pressure reading is about 120 (systolic) over 80 (diastolic) but if you have blood pressure reading that is higher or lower you should have a check-up with your doctor.  Read More >>>

At the same time Omega-3 oils reduce inflammation in the arteries so this helps reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). What causes heart attacks for most people is that your arteries lose their flexibility and then get coated on the inside with fat.
