Good sources of protein Most unrefined foods have some protein in them but mainly meat, dairy products, eggs, beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds.
Let me explain in general terms what the blood pressure numbers mean: top number (the systolic blood pressure) is the pressure the heart has to overcome to open the valves to pump blood out. Bottom number (the diastolic blood pressure) is the pressure between beats when the heart is resting.
When blood pressure is measured, we commonly record the pressure as two numbers, one above the other - like a fraction. The top number is the systolic blood pressure. This is the pressure in the artery during the beating of the heart (systole). This is the pressure that creates the pulse we feel in the wrist or neck. The bottom number is the diastolic blood pressure.
