Your genes play a crucial role in the development of Hypertension

Posted on: 2021-06-30 16:53:01

Hypertension prevention based on your genetics test report
In case your genetic test report shows that you are at high risk for developing hypertension, you can follow the report and genetic counsellor’s recommendations. These recommendations help you in modifying your lifestyle to keep your blood pressure in control and prevent other diseases as well.
Measure your blood pressure regularly - blood pressure can be easily detected with a BP machine at home. Keep your physician informed about your BP levels.
Manage a healthy body weight - the pressure on artery walls and need to supply oxygen and nutrients to your tissues becomes increased with the increase in weight.
Reduce salt in your diet - too much sodium can cause your body to retain fluid thereby increasing blood pressure.
Quit tobacco consumption - smoking or chewing tobacco immediately raises the blood pressure and also damages the lining of the artery walls.
Exercise regularly - it helps in keeping your heart rate and body weight in control.

 Does Taking Vitamin D Prevent or Treat COVID-19? or a 100 billion $ scam!!!

Posted on: 2021-02-17 13:00:20



Louie wonders whether the “D” in vitamin D stands for “Dog.”
Vitamin D supplementation — critical in prevention and treatment of COVID-19?
Or does it do nothing — except further enrich the vitamin and supplements industry, which is worth more than 100 billion dollars?

The challenge is figuring out which of these is the truth, and after several weeks of thinking about the issue, I find it’s far from straightforward — with

 The Fallacy of Obsession with measurement

Posted on: 2020-10-12 22:19:58

Patient Safety indicator 04 as a measure of surgical care is fraught with misinformation much like the quality of care in Cardiac surgery units in UK.

It is essential to appreciate that data sanctity is more important then data, data and data.

Another aspect is the relevance and capturing the right parameters as can be seen in this article.
