Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease where the body does not properly produce or use insulin. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and requires daily insulin injections, type 2 diabetes is the most common type and involves the body not properly using insulin, and gestational diabetes occurs in pregnant women. Complications of diabetes include heart disease, kidney disease, eye problems, nerve damage, and foot complications. Treatments include managing diet, exercise, weight loss, and insulin. Many famous people have been diagnosed with different types of diabetes.
High blood pressure
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition where the force of blood pushing against artery walls is too high. If left untreated, it can lead to heart disease and stroke. High blood pressure is diagnosed through regular checkups where a doctor uses a blood pressure cuff to measure pressure in the arteries. Treatment options include medications, a healthy diet low in fat and salt, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. Web sites like those run by the CDC provide information to help manage and prevent high blood pressure.
High Blood Pressure
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a common condition where blood pressure in the arteries is consistently too high. It puts extra strain on the heart and arteries and increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease if left untreated. Symptoms of high blood pressure are often nonexistent in the early stages. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like following the DASH diet, exercising regularly, limiting sodium intake, weight control, and reducing stress as well as medication if needed. Keeping blood pressure under control can significantly reduce health risks.
Hypertension power point

The main types are primary hypertension, which has no known cause, and secondary hypertension, which is caused by another disease like kidney disease. Risk factors for hypertension include genetics, family history, obesity, stress, alcohol, sodium, tobacco, and age. Untreated hypertension can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss. African Americans have a higher risk than other populations. Treatment involves lifestyle changes and medication, with the goal of controlling blood pressure.
Kidney disease
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located below the rib cage that filter the blood to remove waste and produce urine. The kidneys can be damaged by traumatic injury, dehydration, infection, certain drugs, pregnancy complications, diseases like lupus or hepatitis, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, lack of exercise, and too little water consumption. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle by eating raw foods, drinking water, exercising, and avoiding risk factors can help prevent kidney disease.

The principles of food combining
This document discusses the principles of food combining. It defines what is considered a fruit versus a vegetable from both culinary and botanical perspectives. It also discusses digestion factors like pH levels that impact how different foods are broken down. The key idea is that food combining is important because foods digest at different rates and require different digestive environments, so they should be eaten together in complementary groups. E.G. White statements encourage returning to God's original diet of natural plant foods and avoiding combining too many different foods at once to aid proper digestion.
matters of the mind
The brain plays an important role in digestion by stimulating appetite and determining how food will be digested depending on one's mental state and organ health. When the stomach is diseased, the brain must help the weakened digestive organs, taxing the brain. To aid digestion, one should eat slowly with gratitude, avoid worry at meals, and exercise regularly.

This passage from The Great Controversy discusses Eve's interaction with the serpent in the Garden of Eden. It states that Eve should not have argued or debated with the tempter, as this led her to fall for his deception. Many people today are similarly overcome when they doubt and argue about God's commands instead of obeying them, and end up accepting human theories that are actually disguises for Satan's devices.
Parsley
1. The Bible passage from 1 Corinthians 6:19 says that the human body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and that people belong to God, not themselves.
2. Parsley is described as being an excellent digestive remedy that improves digestion of proteins and fats, promotes nutrient absorption in the intestines, liver, and storage. It contains high enzymes that benefit digestive activity and elimination.
3. The excerpt discusses how people's first duty is self-development by cultivating all faculties to the highest degree to do the most good. Time spent on physical and mental health is time well spent, as people cannot afford to weaken or limit any body or mind functions without suffering consequences.
To eat or not to eat
This document discusses the importance of maintaining pH balance in the body through diet. It provides definitions of food and junk food, and discusses how junk food tricks our taste buds through MSG but provides no real nutrition. While exercise is important, we can't out-exercise a poor diet. The body strives for a slightly alkaline pH but many modern foods and lifestyle factors make achieving this difficult. Ways to test pH through blood, urine, and saliva samples are described, along with factors that can affect levels. An important takeaway is that everyone requires a unique acid-alkaline balance.
Blood pressure
This document describes the circulatory system and blood pressure. It explains that systolic pressure occurs when the ventricles contract and push blood into the arteries. Diastolic pressure is lower and occurs when the heart relaxes. Blood pressure is expressed using both systolic and diastolic pressure values. The normal blood pressure range is 80-120 mmHg. The circulatory system involves two circuits: pulmonary circulation carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and back, while systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back.
Heart Attack
The document provides instructions for what to do if experiencing a heart attack while alone in a car. It advises to not panic, but to start coughing repeatedly and taking deep breaths before each cough. This should be done every two seconds until help arrives or the heart regains its normal rhythm. Coughing and deep breathing helps squeeze the heart to keep blood circulating and can help the heart regain its rhythm, enabling the person to make it to a hospital. The document stresses sharing this information as it could save lives, and that heart attacks can occur at any age.

The document discusses blood pressure and hypertension. It provides information on obtaining blood pressure measurements including indications, contraindications, equipment, positioning, and techniques. It also covers definitions and classifications of hypertension, causes and pathophysiology, complications, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options which include lifestyle modifications and medications like diuretics.
Elastin
Elastin is a highly elastic protein found in connective tissue that allows tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. It is particularly important in skin, helping it to return to its original position when poked or pinched. Elastin is also found in load-bearing tissues where mechanical energy needs to be stored. It is encoded by the ELN gene and produces a protein that forms elastic fibers, containing hydrophobic regions bounded by lysine crosslinks.

Hypertension 2010
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition where the force of blood against artery walls is too high. It is often called a "silent killer" because most people have no symptoms. Approximately one third of Americans have high blood pressure, but less than half of them have it under control. Uncontrolled hypertension can damage arteries, organs, and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, exercising regularly, losing weight, reducing sodium intake, and moderating alcohol can help control blood pressure, but sometimes medication is also needed. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is important to prevent health complications.

Cardiovascular diseases are the world's largest killer, claiming 17.3 million lives per year. Approximately 40% of heart disease deaths are sudden with no prior known heart problems. The major focus for prevention and treatment of heart disease must be on prevention through lifestyle modifications since many people are unaware of their heart condition until a fatal event. Risk factors for heart disease include age, gender, smoking, physical inactivity, poor diet, diabetes and high blood pressure. Management involves lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet low in salt and trans fats, 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week, and stress management techniques.

High blood pressure
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is when the force of blood against artery walls is too high. It is measured by two numbers, systolic and diastolic pressure. High blood pressure can be caused by factors like age, weight, diet, stress, and family history. Symptoms may include headaches, confusion, and vision changes. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and medication to control blood pressure and reduce health risks. Regular checkups are important to monitor blood pressure levels.
Cardiovascular disease
Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, responsible for over 7 million deaths per year. The top three risk factors are smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Atherosclerosis occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries, restricting blood flow and potentially leading to heart attack or stroke. Inflammation in the artery walls plays a key role in plaque formation. Diet and lifestyle factors like a plant-based diet, exercise, weight control, and stress management can help prevent and manage heart disease.
Prevention of heart attacks

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
