Blood Pressure
Every time you visit a doctor’s office they probably take your blood pressure. We are all used to it. They put an inflatable cuff around your upper arm (usually the left); it inflates, and you see the numbers. The procedure measures the force of the blood that is being pumped by the heart by the large arteries. If the force (pressure) is too high, the artery could burst causing a heart attack or stroke. If the pressure is too low, you won’t get enough blood to all the parts of the body, including the brain. Read More.
Interior Colors for 2023
It won't be long before the weather is mild enough to open the windows and you can get those rooms painted. A fresh coat of color will brighten any room and is an inexpensive upgrade that most people can do themselves. If you are still on the fence about which way to go, here are some suggestions that are coming from various sources. Read more.
Beans
Dried beans are an excellent source of protein that also provide iron, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin. They are incorporated into chili, soups, baked, or just as the old staple of rice and beans. Read More.
