We can't live without blood pressure. While our heart beats and
blood circulates around our body we will have some pressure in the blood

serious internal or external injuries that are leading to blood loss.

Beating Depression
Depression is a serious illness and people generally have the wrong idea about what it means to be depressed. There are different types of depression, and a depressive person can have a far better life, if they ask and get help. Unfortunately a lot of people still see the stigma of having a mental illness, and would rather suffer in silence than seek any professional help.

Understanding Diabetes
We live in a world where everyone wants to blame someone else for their problems. Mankind had been trying to do that for all of recorded time. The story of Adam and Eve and the apple in the Garden of Eden sees Adam blame Eve, Eve blaming the serpent and the serpent not being left with a leg to stand on. Men and women have been blaming each other ever since. We are just falling into the same trap of refusing to take any responsibility.

Coping With MRSA
Wherever you go, whatever you do, the MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) bug is out there and ready to attack you and your family. The dangers may be apparent in the developed world, where hospitals and doctors have been well informed and are well equipped to diagnose and treat the MRSA bacteria, but that isn't the case in all countries. The danger lurks in the developing world as well, with much of China under the threat of this killer and the hospitals are under-equipped to diagnose the bacteria.

Raising Healthy Children
I expect many of you have already reacted with an Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I want
to encourage you to read on and see what you do really affects your children
and in turn their children. Are you obese or overweight? Do you know what that really means and how it will affect you? If you are obese you increase your rate of dying from an illness related to your weight. It goes from 7% to 75%. You are also teaching your children or grandchildren the same lessons you are following which led you to be obese or overweight.

Stroke
Someone having a stroke is in need of trained medical help now. If you have picked up this book and have any idea that the person you are looking after is having a stroke then call the emergency services. In the USA that will mean dialing 911, in Europe it will mean dialing 112, or in the UK there is the old standard of 999 as well as 112. Do not delay or the person you are trying to help may be permanently injured or may even die. If you are unsure here is a simple test from the British Stroke Association. Act FAST to check whether someone has had a stroke.
