Triglycerides are fatty types of lipids found in your blood that can be dangerous for your health. Similar to LDL (the “bad” form of cholesterol), high levels can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, even when LDL levels are healthy. That means you want to try and keep your triglyceride levels as low as possible to avoid potential health issues.

Ang high blood pressure madalas walang sintomas. Hindi parating may masakit na ulo o batok. Madalas, walang nararamdaman ang pasyente. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na hindi ito delikado.

Naturingang SILENT KILLER ang HYPERTENSION dahil ang pinsala na dinudulot nito sa mga ugat, sa puso at iba pang organs ay tahimik at dahan-dahan.

Best magmonitor ng BP 30-60 mins after waking up in the morning. Ugaliing ilista o magtala ng mga BP sa isang BP diary.

Ang normal BP ay 180/120, ang tawag dito ay HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS. Sa mga ganitong BP, kahit meron o walang nararamdaman ay dapat magpunta agad sa doktor para makita agad.

Maintaining up-to-date vaccinations is the most effective way to protect yourself from this serious condition.

Did you know that rust itself doesn't actually cause tetanus? Many people believe that getting scratched by a rusty nail is the direct cause, but the real culprit is a bacterium called Clostridium tetani. These bacteria are commonly found in soil, dust, and animal manure rather than the rust itself. Any deep wound exposed to these environments can lead to an infection regardless of whether metal is involved.

Rust is simply a sign that an object has been exposed to the elements where these bacteria often live. The rough and porous surface of rusty metal provides a perfect hiding spot for dirt and bacterial spores to thrive. When a sharp, dirty object punctures your skin, it carries the bacteria deep into your body where there is very little oxygen. Maintaining up-to-date vaccinations is the most effective way to protect yourself from this serious condition.
