High blood pressure or hypertension is one of the leading causes of stroke, heart attack and kidney disease, making blood pressure a crucial number to regulate. In fact, more than 73 million Americans have hypertension.

HIV Status and Protein Needs

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that leads to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency virus) and works by slowly destroying the body's own immune system leaving it open to any virus that may be encountered. Normal infections and illnesses that would be fought off by the body become life threatening. It is estimated that up to 75% of the people who are infected with HIV may go for as long as ten years before showing the first signs or symptoms, and there are some indications that those who might be potentially infected are not being well informed of their need to be tested in light of potential symptoms.
