Maintain a normal blood pressure
High blood pressure is defined
as a systolic (top number) blood pressure of 140 mmHg or more,
or a diastolic (bottom number) blood pressure of 90 mmHg or
more. A normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmGh or lower. Some
patients with mildly elevated blood pressure can control it
with a low-salt diet, high in fruits and vegetables, and
low-fat dairy products, (the DASH) diet, exercise and weight
loss. The DASH diet also may prevent the development of high
blood pressure. Most patients with elevated blood pressure
will need medication. The higher your blood pressure, the
greater your risk.
One of the major medical advances of the last half-century is
the availability of a variety of medications to control blood
pressure. In 1945, a month before President Franklin D.
Roosevelt's death from a stroke, his blood pressure was
240/180 mmHg. His doctor never told him he had hypertension
because he didn't want to worry the President—for there were
no medications available to treat high blood pressure at that
time. Over the ensuing five decades, as more and more
effective antihypertensive medications were developed, the
incidence of stroke declined dramatically.
High blood pressure inside the arteries causes "wear and tear"
and not only causes stroke, but aneurysms (ballooning out) of
the arteries, which can rupture, and kidney failure. Damage to
the arteries and the increased heart work that high blood
pressure causes, can lead to heart failure.
The incidence of heart failure increases with age and is the
most common cause of hospital admission in patients over age
65. The only way you know if your blood pressure is elevated
is to measure it, and the only way you can be sure your blood
pressure is controlled is to measure it. You can't rely on how
you feel—you can feel great and your blood pressure can be
severely elevated. That is why high blood pressure is referred
to as "the silent killer."

Outlook Express
Contacts R Us in Outlook
Did you know Outlook could use the data from your Contact
folders to create a mail merge file and then provide it to
Microsoft Word? If you have Word installed, it will
automatically start up when you select the Mail
Merge option from the Tools menu in Contacts
view. Word performs all the actual merge functions. If you
don't have Word installed, you will not be able to perform a
mail merge unless you export the information to a separate
file.
Jumping Around and Creating in
Outlook
Outlook aims to be an all-in-one organizer
which is a good and worthy goal - but it also means it has
lots of facets that you want to get to quickly. There is a
keyboard shortcut to let you jump to the Inbox and Outbox in
an instant.
Inbox - Ctrl + Shift + I
Outbox - Ctrl + Shift + O Curiously there are no shortcuts for
the other major parts of Outlook. Things are a bit better when
it comes to quickly creating new items in Outlook. You can
open new email messages, notes, appointments etc in a flash
with these keystrokes:
Email - Ctrl + N
Note - Ctrl + Shift + N
Appointment Ctrl + Shift + A
Contact - Ctrl + Shift + C There are more and you can see them
by choosing File, New and look down the list - there should be
a shortcut listed next to each menu item.

What foods are healthy?
No single food
will supply all the nutrients your body needs, so good
nutrition means eating a variety of foods.
Food is divided into four main groups. They are:
Fruits and vegetables (oranges, apples, bananas, carrots, and
spinach).
Whole grains, cereals, and bread (wheat, rice, oats, bran, and
barley).
Dairy products (whole or skim milk, cream, and yogurt).
Meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dried beans, and nuts.
It's important to eat foods from each group every day. By
doing that, you ensure your body has all the nutrients it
needs.
The main nutrients in food are carbohydrates, proteins, fats,
vitamins, and minerals. Nutrients help your body work
correctly, and make young bodies grow.
Carbohydrates give you energy. Healthy choices are dried
beans, peas, and lentils; whole grain breads, cereals, and
crackers; and fruits and vegetables. Protein is needed for
growth and is a good back-up supply of energy. Healthy choices
include lean meats and low-fat dairy products.
Foods high in fiber are healthy, too. Fiber comes from plants
and may help to lower blood glucose and blood-fat levels.
Foods high in fiber include: bran cereals, cooked beans and
peas, whole-grain bread, fruits, and vegetables. |

You lost 400 members just because they did
not give you the required information. It is strange, you
could always have 400 more members enjoying your services
which you offer free any way. M. Owais Seithi Jubail
Believe us bhai it was not easy for us to delete 400+
records from our community database. But please understand
that we work day and night to offer you all that we are sure
each of our member enjoys. We are a community driven community
and we like our community to prove the unity by their acts. We
don't need a thing in return when you show your unity rather
feel more energetic to work more for you. Native city
information will play a vital role in our ambition to take you
virtually back home to take care and help your own people. For
instance asking doctor in your native city via CP to visit
some sick or elderly person where you bear all the treatment
expenses offered to you on discounted price from here. It
is just an example where city name will play a vital role to
help each other. This service may not be offered in near
future but will be offered inshaAllah to our around 300,000
members worldwide. Just pray and be with us!
So what do you say, were we wrong in asking your native city?
We are simply trying to help you as much as we can. AT the
same time it is really not necessary to offer reasons for such
requests as we expect only those to be our members who think
like us, act like us.

OKARA
|
Okara
City was established in nineteenth Century. It is
located at 127 KM south-west of Lahore on national
highway (G.T.Road) and on Lahore Karachi main railway
line. Its approximate height above sea level is 50
meters. While the towns of Okara are a part of ancient
history. According to a tradition there were clumps of
“OKAAN” Trees in this place. After the name of these
OKAAN trees this place was known as Okara. This area of
land was raided by European and the middle Asian
invaders just because it was situated in the ways of
those areas which were rich, advanced and geographically
politically, and militarily central cities of the sub
continent, It was only because of those brave and
freedom fighters who stopped Alexander the Great to
advance in this area and he had to go back defeated from
this area of land.
The history of this area is 3000 B.C. old. This area of
land remained war land for Turks, Arabs, Persians,
Lodhies, Tuglaqs, Mangols, Mughal Emperors, Marathas,
Sikhs and Hindus. This area was also ruled over by
Rajputs till 1770. In 1849, the British occupied this
area. In the Freedom Fight of 1857, the people of this
area resisted against the British. Rai Ahmad Khan
Kharil including Mehr Murad Fatiana and many other brave
people fought against the British and defeated the
British at a number of places. History speaks of these
freedom fighters that were few in number and they put to
death Lord Burkley and his fifty soldiers.
When the British Government, after defeating Sikh
rulers, ruled this area in 1849. They established a new
district in Pakpattan which was later on Shifted to
Gogera, a town near the
Ravi. When a Railway line was laid out between
Multan and Lahore it was shifted to Montgornery in 1864.
This area remained the part of Montgomery District. In
1915 Okara became Tehsil. It became Committee in 1939
and Municipal Committee in 1945.
After the creation of Pakistan, Okara played a vital
role for the progress of the country. Isatghara, Gogera,
Sherghar, Hujra, Shah Muqeem and
Renala Khurd are towns of this city. The Okara district
population is about 2.2 Million. |

Plants are the
lungs of the earth. In research designed to create a
breathable environment for a NASA lunar habitat
scientists discovered that indoor
house plants are the best filters of common pollutants such as
ammonia, formaldehyde, and benzene. Hundreds of these
poisonous chemicals can be released by furniture, carpets, and
building material, and then trapped by closed ventilation
systems, leading to the host of respiratory and allergic
reactions now called Sick Building Syndrome.

and make your life healthier than before.

STUDY OF THE STARS
Have
you ever wondered why sailors use stars? Or have you ever read that
Greeks are obsessed with astrology? Well, many of these techniques
were used to navigate and tell Greeks about their gods and

CYNOSURE MONTESSORI &
SCHOOL
CP Global Content Manager, Iqbal Bhai, Shares his
findings about the School that was featured last year in our “Hum
Pakistani” segment.
During my Eid holidays, I had a chance to visit the school
that is operated on non profit basis. Here are briefly my
findings to share with rest of the community.
As I had few days spare after Eid during my holidays, I
dropped an e-mail to Obaid Bhai and arranged a visit to the
school. Mr. Syed Murtaza Ahmad Ali of the school management at
the set time and date picked me up. All management and the
school staff gave a very warm welcome when I reached at the
school. It was a very friendly atmosphere and I visited all
the classes and met and talked to all kids. The children are
so well behaved that I was much impressed.
I also met Wing Cmdr (R) Qazi Sahib and talking to him was a
pleasure. He explained to me about the present situation of
schooling in Karachi. Further he stated that
while
Obaid bhai is sharing cost to operate the school by donating a
good amount of money every month to make sure that the
standard of education and facilities is not compromised,
inshaAllah this year if we have enough students, the school
will be operating using its own earnings. The building rented
at present will be good enough for few years to come and in
the meantime the management has plan to acquire the land and
construct their own building. What I noticed was that the
staff was very qualified and well trained and at the same time
all required material to run a Montessori was available. It
was a pleasure to see the future of Pakistan being so nicely
trained at this institution. We had a good discussion about
the future plans of the school with the management and as
usual I forgot to take my camera. I was missing it so badly
that I have to go once again to the school when I go to
Karachi next month. I must share the success story of Obaid
bhai with rest of us so we could take benefit of his
experience on running an educational institution on a
“Community Driven School” concept which perfectly aligns with
CP’s concept of “Community Driven Community”. I wish and pray
that the noble mission of Obaid Bahi to flourish and he will
see the results of it in his lifetime, Amen.In
the end I would like to thank brothers Obaid, Qazi and Murtaza
for treating me so well and sharing with me their plans for
the school. My best wishes are for all of them. |
