Elevated blood pressure causes damage to blood vessel walls and their lining, eventually impacting their integrity. In an effort to repair tiny tears and areas of weakness, the body sends cells to 'plaster over' the damage. Over time, cholesterol sticks to these areas and plaques form, narrowing the blood vessel and impacting blood flow. Measuring your blood pressure Keep an eye on your blood pressure by measuring at home using an automatic blood pressure cuff....

'Microcirculation' means the vast network of tiny blood vessels that makes up about 99% of our vasculature - we house thousands and thousands of kilometres of these microscopically small blood vessels. They are thinner than a human hair and so narrow that red blood cells have to line up to travel through them!

There's a well-established link between the health of the oral cavity, aka the mouth, and cardiovascular health. The mouth has a diverse microbiome, second only to the gut, containing over 700 species of bacteria! As we see in the gut, some of these species are beneficial and perform tasks that support our health, and some are 'bad actors'. When we have an imbalance in the populations of good vs bad bacterial species, it affects not only the health of our mouth, but of our whole body....
