The pressure in the toilet is created by using the water pressure provided by the water company â no pumps or other devices are used. Pressure-assisted toilets are more expensive than gravity toilets, but they do a better job of removing waste from the bowl with less water.

Typically, a healthy eye has an eye pressure of between 10 and 21 mm of mercury. On a daily basis this can increase or decrease due to exercise, stress, fluid consumption and even caffeine. If eye pressure is consistently over 21, then you may have ocular hypertension.
Your bodyâs response to stress is supposed to protect you. But, if it is constant, it can harm you. The hormone cortisol is released in response to stress.

This stress can also cause changes that promote the buildup of plaque deposits in the arteries.
