According to the American Heart Association (AHA), normal blood pressure is a systolic pressure of less than 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and a diastolic pressure of less than 80 mm Hg, or 120/80 mm Hg. Having a blood pressure greater than 140/ 90 mm Hg is considered high blood pressure or hypertension.

Amino acids are required for the synthesis of body protein and other important nitrogen-containing compounds. Amino acids are constituents of protein and act as precursors for many coenzymes, hormones, nucleic acid, etc. Adult humans are unable to synthesize all twenty amino acids needed for protein synthesis; those which cannot be synthesized and which must then be acquired via the diet are referred to as essential.

The ozone layer refers to a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It absorbs 97–99% of the Sun's mediumfrequency ultraviolet light (from about 200 nm to 315 nm wavelength), which otherwise would potentially damage exposed life forms near the surface.
