Your blood pressure is an important part of your overall health.

High blood pressure typically has no symptoms, but it causes progressive harm to the heart and brain.

The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to check your blood pressure.

When blood pushes with too much force through the cardiovascular system, it can damage the walls of the arteries as well as the heart muscle.

Damage to the arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood can eventually contribute to a heart attack.
Similarly, damage to the arteries that supply the brain with blood can contribute to a stroke, and damage to the arteries that provide the kidneys with blood can lead to kidney disease.
If you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, your doctor can help you bring your blood pressure under control and reduce damage.

Treatment usually consists of a combination of the following:
1- Monitoring: You will need to have your blood pressure tested periodically to make sure that treatment is keeping it in a healthy range.

2- Lifestyle changes: Exercise, weight loss, salt reduction, quitting smoking and stress reduction all can help lower blood pressure.
Your doctor can refer you to resources that can support your efforts to make lifestyle changes

3- Medications: Your physician may prescribe medications. The medications work in various ways to reduce the pressure of blood against artery walls and the workload of the heart.
Be good to yourself, check your blood pressure regularly and try to keep your blood pressure in that normal range by living a healthy lifestyle.

Your heart will thank you!

During the 19th century, the Catholic Church engineered one of the worst examples of human cruelty, in history.

Thread 👇🏽
For hundreds of years, in the choirs of the Vatican, the Pope and his buddies were quite fond of great singing voices.

There was just one problem with a beautifully voiced youth — they’d hit puberty and age out of it. Your balls drop, your voice drop, and poof! it’s gone.
Someone discovered that in men who were castrated at an early age, the voice tends to remain high-pitched.

But just a shrill voice alone won’t do — it has to be a trained voice, belonging to a trained singer.

The Genocide of Polish unarmed civilians by Ukrainian fighters(UPA) was definitely the cruelest event in WorldWar2, but not very famous. I think it is just too brutal.

Around 100k people were killed village by village using unimaginable methods of tortue.
Comparing to that genocide the Japanese or Nazi crimes seem to be kindergarten.

Any the worst imaginable ways of killing were used & plenty new invented.
Killing quickly was not a case at all. Mass Rape was just a beginning for every woman.

The scale of pure sadism during the event is still not fully understood. Many times killing of one person took few days.

Just because programming tutorials are openly available these days does, in no way, imply that learning to code is an effortless endeavor.

In fact, learning to code all by yourself by utilizing these free resources is a true test of patience and dedication.
Yes, there are thousands of interactive tutorials and courses out there on a myriad of CS topics. But trust me, this is what most of us end up doing:

Day 1: I’m so pumped! Can’t wait to start this new JavaScript course!
Day 2: Wow! I just made my browser pop up some text with the alert() function! neat!

Day 3: Errrm, asynchronous functions? This is a bit confusing for me!

Day 10: Umm, that last part was kind of hard. Maybe I should just do something else for now. Maybe start learning Python?

Everyone literally knows who Hitler was & knows about the pure horrific brutality of the Nazi regime and the SS.

Yet somehow, the Japanese are often given a pass in WorldWar2 and considered less evil than Hitler.
So while the Holocaust and many atrocities of the Nazi Reich rank as the cruelest events in WW2 I think we should focus on what the Japanese did.
The rape of Nanjing.

When the Japanese army took Nanjing it subjected the civilian population to brutality and horror that would make the SS gawk in horror.
