What is Oxygen?
Oxygen is essential for humans. We can survive for 1 to 2 months without food, around 3 days without water, but we cannot survive for more than a few minutes without oxygen. When we breathe in, fresh oxygen flows into our lungs, which process the oxygen and allows red blood cells to carry the oxygen molecules throughout your bloodstream. Oxygen helps to supply your body with energy, supports your immune...
What is an Electrocardiogram?
An electrocardiogram (or an ECG) is a test that records the electrical signals passing through your heart. It’s a non-invasive test to monitor your heart’s health and quickly detect any problems with your heart. To keep our hearts pumping blood smoothly, our brain sends out electrical signals to the different parts of our heart to tell it what to do. An ECG records these electrical signals, along with the heart rate,...
What is Uric Acid?
Uric acid is a chemical naturally produced by our bodies when we digest purine-rich foods. Purine-rich foods are foods such as organ meats, red meats, seafood, and beer. Usually, our bodies will filter out uric acid through our kidneys and pass it out in our urine. However, if we eat too much purine-rich foods or produce too much uric acid, our bodies may not be able to get rid of the...
How to read your ECG
ECG Sinus Rhythm Basics A normal heart rhythm contains a P wave, a QRS, and a T wave. Knowing the normal amplitude, deflection, and duration of each component is essential to accurate rhythm and ECG interpretation. Amplitude: This measures the voltage of the beat and is determined by how high the wave reaches, as measured by each square vertically on the chart. 10 mm = 1mV; 5 squares = 0.5mV and 2.5 squares =...

How to read your Uric Acid
Measuring your uric acid levels is vital to managing your health. Abnormal uric acid levels usually do not have any obvious symptoms, but too low uric acid levels (hypouricemia) can be indicative of other underlying health conditions, and too high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) over time can lead to gout or kidney stones. Monitoring your uric acid levels regularly can help to prevent these painful medical conditions with early intervention,...
How to read your Blood Glucose
Checking your blood glucose regularly is vital for diabetics, but is also a good health check for anyone, especially if your family has a history of diabetes. People who are 45 years and above, who are overweight, or have high blood pressure should also check their blood glucose every now and then, as those are risk factors for developing diabetes.

How to read your Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is measured using two numbers: Systolic blood pressure (the first or upper number): Measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure (the second or lower number): Measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats. For example, if the measurement reads 120 Systolic and 80 Diastolic, the reading would be "120/80 mmHg".
