HOME BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING (HBPM)

Monitoring your blood pressure at home is the easiest way in making early detection of high blood pressure and irregular CASP.

Introducing A-PULSE CASPal®A-PULSE CASPal® is a simple and yet revolutionary device for the measurement

of Central Aortic Systolic Pressure (CASP) in a simple clinic or home setting. It is a

world-first portable CASP device developed by HealthSTATS International.

It is patented technology using modified applanation tonometry on the radial

artery at the position of the wrist.

What is CASP?

Central Aortic Systolic Pressure (CASP) is the pressure at the root of the Aorta, the largest artery of the body as it emerges from the heart. Recent studies show it is the strongest indicator for strokes and heart attacks (see diagram).

The CASP is usually lower than brachial pressure (the blood pressure measured at the arm). This difference can be as much as 30 mmHg in young healthy adults but approximates that of the brachial pressure when one gets older. It also becomes closer to the brachial pressure when one is suffering from conditions like Hypertension, uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus, etc.

The importance ofluxury bag maintenance奢品护理的重要性

It was the year 2011, Richard, the founder of House of Brandz

data that has been lost. Data that once

had been rendered inaccessible by

normal methods are salvaged and

restored to its original format.

There are many recovery methods, just as

there are way to lose your �les and

folders. The rate of success of retrieving

lost data, however, varies greatly

depending on the medium, size, nature

of failure and many more.

Once you realise that your have lost data,

the best course of action is to stop using

the media immediately. Try to recall back

the circcumstances or strange

occurrences which you encounterd when

you used the media Write these down; as

it may be crucial to accessing the nature

of failure should your failure be severe

enough that you need to consult a data

Start early. Going into

work early was one of my favorite

tricks — it was quiet, before

the phones and chatter and

meetings started, and I could get

a lot of work done in peace.

Limit your hours. If you know you’re only working

6 hours today, you’ll be sure to get the important tasks done first

and waste less time. Limits force you to be effective.

Make a short list. Make

a long list of all the tasks you need to

do … then make a short list of 1-3 things

you really want to get done.

Write shorter emails. If email takes up a lot of your day, the

simple change of limiting yourself to

3-4 sentences per email will make a big

difference.

Take breathing breaks. Every 15-20

minutes, get up from your desk, and take a breathing break.

Walk around, get your blood circulating, perhaps massage

your neck and shoulders if you feel tension.

Batch distractions. What are your

common distractions? Perhaps things like email,

reading blogs, Twitter or another social network? Set a

time for these, preferably later in the day: say, from 3-4

p.m. Don’t do the distractions before then.

Limit meetings. The fewer the better.

Some top Google executives just do 5-minute

meetings — anyone who attends these meetings had

better be prepared, and concise.

Schedule big blocks of creative time. Be ruthless about

clearing distractions and doing

the work you love during these

blocks, taking breathing breaks as

necessary. Rejoice in your creativity.

Top 05 Resources and Inspirations for Decluttering Your Home

Sometimes, getting rid of all the clutter in your home can be a daunting task, especially if you’ve let the stuff pile up over the years.

Who wants to tackle a mountain

of junk? What I do when faced

with an overwhelming task

is … read about it. Getting

more information helps me

conquer any task, and getting

inspiration from experts

and regular people who’ve

accomplished the task always

helps motivate me. So today,

prompted by a reader email,

I’m going to share some of the

very best books and websites

for inspiration and information

on decluttering your home. I

hope you enjoy them!

1. Simplify Your Life

My favorite all-time author

on simplicity is Elaine St. James. Actually, all of her

books on simplifying are

good.

4. Your Life. Organized

An excellent blog by Monica Ricci, who is a professional

organizer. You can’t get better than this professional. You

might also be interested in her book, Organize Your Office In No Time.

Article extracted fromzenhabit.net by Leo BabautaPhotos by: Stock.xchng

3. Flylady.net

One of the best sites on the Internet

for those who want to take control of

their clutter, A couple of my favorites:

How to Declutter and Declutter 15 Minutes a Day. Don’t let the look of

the site or the focus on stay-at-home

parents fool you … there’s great stuff

here for anyone looking to declutter

or create routines.

5. Real Simple: The Organized Home

Real Simple is one of my favorite

magazines. I don’t subscribe, but

often read the website, RealSimple.

com. This book (“The Organized Home“) takes a lot of their best

advice on home organizing,

including decluttering, and puts it

into one volume.

2. Unclutterer.com

I’m a big fan of this blog,

which is written by a small

group of decluttering

fanatics like me.

1. It helps you learn from your mistakes. If we don’t reflect on our

mistakes, we are doomed to

repeat them. And that’s not very

smart. However, if we reflect on

those mistakes, figure out what

went wrong, see how we can

prevent them in the future, we

can use our mistakes to get

better. Mistakes, then, are a

valuable learning tool, instead of

something to feel embarrassed

or upset about. Reflection is an

important way to do that.

2. It gives you great ideas. I reflect on things that I’m doing

or that are going on in my life. If

things aren’t going well, I learn

stuff I can share with others. If I

reflect on something that’s a

success for me, I think about

how I got that success, and

share that too. I’ve had hundreds

of great ideas this year from

reflection.

3. It helps you help others. All my writings are ways that I can

share what I’ve learned to help

others going through the same

things. And this year, I’ve learned

just how powerful that is. I began

the year with the hope that some

of the things I’ve learned in the

past couple years can help

others … and I’m ending the year

with the profound realization of

how such simple little tips can

change people’s lives. I’ve had

hundreds of emails from readers

who tell me how little tips, like how

to wake up early, or how to start

the exercise habit, have changed

their lives. That’s incredible. I’m

overjoyed if I help people or

inspire them.

4. It makes you happier. If you reflect on the things you

did right, on your successes, that

allows you to celebrate every little

success. It allows you to realize

how much you’ve done right, the

good things you’ve done in your

life. Without reflection, it’s too easy

to forget these things, and focus

instead on our failures.

5. It gives you perspective. Often we are caught up in the

troubles or busy-ness of our daily

lives. A mistake or a high-pressure

project or something like that can

seem like it means all the world. It

can overwhelm us sometimes. But

if we take a minute to step back,

and reflect on these problems,

and how in the grand scheme of

things they don’t mean all that

much, it can calm us down and

lower our stress levels. We gain

perspective, and that’s a good

thing.
