Sodium is a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure and volume. It is found naturally in many foods but is often added during food processing and preparation. While sodium is essential for nerve and muscle function, too much can lead to high blood pressure. Processed foods are a major source of dietary sodium. Reducing sodium intake is recommended for overall health.

Heart disease is a global epidemic that is the number one killer worldwide. Some key points made in the document include:
- Coronary artery disease, caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries, is the most common type of heart disease.
- Risk factors include high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and heredity.
- Symptoms can include chest pain and shortness of breath.
- Taking preventative measures like exercising, eating healthy, and managing stress can help reduce risks.
- Heart disease poses a huge economic burden through healthcare costs globally and lost productivity. Many countries and organizations are working to implement initiatives and policies to address prevention and management of heart disease on national and global scales
People with type 2 diabetes often have abnormal blood fat and cholesterol levels. They are also more likely to develop heart disease than those without diabetes. This is because diabetes can lead to a build up of fatty deposits in the blood vessels over time, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Managing risk factors like blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and weight can help reduce this risk.

Heartburn: Signs, Symptoms and Treatment OptionsMarketingTeamBiz
Heartburn, also known as acid reflux, occurs when stomach acids and fluids move up into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest and throat. It is often caused by eating large meals, fried foods, carbonated drinks, smoking, being overweight, pregnancy, or laying down after eating. Common foods that trigger heartburn include French fries, chips, cheeses, whole milk, spicy foods, raw onions, sodas, alcohol, and coffee. Heartburn can be treated at home by eating smaller meals, avoiding eating close to bedtime, losing weight, and avoiding trigger foods.

Caffeine can negatively impact health in several ways. It increases stress hormones and causes anxiety, irritability, and depression. It also disrupts blood sugar levels and causes spikes and crashes. Additionally, caffeine is linked to cardiovascular issues, gastrointestinal problems, nutritional deficiencies, and issues affecting males and females. Long term caffeine consumption can lead to adrenal exhaustion and severe blood sugar swings. It also causes acid imbalance and depletion of essential minerals. Doctors advise eliminating caffeine for numerous health conditions.

Overview of basic financial statements that every business owner needs to know to include: cash flow statement, income statement (P&L) and balance sheet.
This document discusses various sources of financing for businesses, including personal savings, bank loans, equity financing, and other options. It outlines the steps to determine startup costs, anticipated revenue, and personal creditworthiness. Debt financing from banks and credit unions is described as typically requiring good credit history and being best for established businesses. Equity financing involves giving ownership in exchange for funds and is more common for startups, as it does not require debt repayment but dilutes ownership. The document advises reviewing one's personal credit profile and having owner equity of at least 10% when seeking loans. Other tips include ensuring diverse revenue sources and protecting the business with insurance.

Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide. It can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet low in cholesterol and saturated fat, regular exercise, not smoking, controlling blood pressure and blood sugar, and managing stress. Risk factors like family history, age, and sex cannot be controlled, but other risks like obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes can be mitigated through lifestyle changes. Knowing your key health numbers and working to optimize them can also help prevent heart disease.
Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States. It is caused by atherosclerosis which leads to a build up of fatty deposits in the arteries. This can partially or fully block arteries leading to conditions like coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (heart attack), or congestive heart failure. Risk factors include age, family history, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity. The risk of heart disease can be reduced by adopting a healthy diet low in saturated fat and sodium, engaging in regular exercise, and not smoking.
This document summarizes information about atherosclerosis and acute myocardial infarction (MI). It discusses the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for atherosclerosis, pathophysiology, types of lipids and their target values, blood pressure categories, diagnostic criteria for diabetes, and BMI categories. It also outlines the stages of atherosclerotic plaque development, symptoms of unstable angina, diagnostic and treatment approaches for MI, components of secondary prevention, and lifestyle and pharmacological interventions to modify risk factors.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

•By 12 hours almost all the nicotine has been metabolised
•24 hours later all the blood levels of carbon monoxide have dropped dramatically
meaning your red blood cells can carry more oxygen to your heart
•By 5days your sense of taste and smell have improved
•After 6 weeks the risk of wound infection has substantially reduced
•At 12 months cilia recover meaning your lungs clear better and your overall lung
function improves
•Following 1 year the risk of coronary disease is halved compared to continuing
smokers
After 5 years the risk of cancers of mouth ,throat,and oesophagus are halved
-Beyond 10years the risk of lung cancer is less than half that of a continuing
smoker
- After 15 years the risk of coronary heart disease is the same as a non-smoker
-Around 20 years your risk of age related macular degeneration is the same as
that of someone who has never smoked
