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.
The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure in your arteries when the heart is relaxed. That is why there is more concern when the diastolic is a high number than when the systolic (top number) is high. If your bottom number is high, your heart is never getting the relaxation pressures it needs.
