I came across an interesting online article that eating salmon can lower blood pressure. So, I would like to summarize and share some of the interesting points. Many people over 40 years old begin worrying about the number of their blood pressure. It is said that one-third of adults, about 43 million, have high blood pressure in Japan. The high blood pressure is also called "Silent Killer" and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke gradually. Especially, people in their 40s to 60s are the most generation who start having high blood pressure. It is also time to notice changes of your health easily even when you are busy with work or with chores every single day. On the other hand, it found out you just have to eat salmon to lower your blood pressure. It has been scientifically proven by the research team all over the world. The biggest reason why salmon can lower blood pressure is because omega-3 fatty acids are abundant in salmon. Our body can't produce omega-3 fatty acids and we need to get it by having meals. There are mainly two type of the acids as follows EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid): It helps improve blood flow, protect blood vessels and reduce inflammation DHA(docosahexaenoic acid): It helps keep brain heath, improve memory and study ability, and widen blood vessels How much we should eat to obtain effects? The amount of omega-3 fatty acids to lower blood pressure needs about 3 gram per day. That means we need to eat salmon of 110 to 140grams. The volume is almost one piece in a salmon fillet. The research result showed those who take a few grams of EPA and DHA per day lowered their blood pressure by average 2mmHg compared to people who don't. Lowering blood pressure by 2 to 5mmHg can reduce the risk of heart attack by about 7% and stroke by about 10%. This is the effect we can get only by eating salmon without medicines. Personally, I love salmon, but eating salmon every day might be a bit hard for me, but I would like to try that as much as possible

ЖЕ in Russian 1. Emphasis or contrast. Adds emotional weight, often impatience, surprise, insistence: Что же ты делаешь? - “So what are you doing?” (impatient / demanding clarification) Где же он? - “Where is he (then/after all)?” Think of it like English “after all”, “then”, “really?”, “come on”, “but”. 2. Strengthening a statement. Makes a phrase stronger, highlights obviousness: Я же сказал. - “I told you.” Он же знает. - “He knows (you know!).” Often used when reminding someone of something obvious. 3. Mild contradiction / correcting someone. Used when gently pushing back: Это не я, это же он сделал. - “It wasn’t me, he did it.” 4. Softening commands or requests. Makes them more emotional or pleading. Подожди же! - “Just wait a moment!” Расскажи же! - “Come on, tell me!” 5. Filler for emotional tone. Sometimes it doesn’t add meaning to the sentence, just tone. Ну что же… - “Well then…” Так вот же… - “So there you go…” 6. As part of “то же”, “так же”, “тот же”. Here же is not the emotional particle - it’s a fixed part of a grammatical construction meaning the same, also, as…: то же = the same так же = in the same way тот же = the same (exact one) я так же думаю - “I also think so / I think the same” (Not emotionally charged in these.) Intuition shortcut. If же is a particle (not part of то же, так же, тот же), it usually: highlights contrast expresses emotion shows impatience, surprise, insistence reminds the listener of something obvious If you try to translate же literally, it won’t work - it’s purely a tone particle.
