  • Travel into the circulatory system to see how blood pressure helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to your body’s tissues.
    --
    If you lined up all the blood vessels in your body, they’d be 60 thousand miles long. And every day, they carry the equivalent of over two thousand gallons of blood to the body’s tissues. What effect does this pressure have on the walls of the blood vessels? Wilfred Manzano gives the facts on blood pressure.
    Lesson by Wilfred Manzano, animation by Fox Animation Domination High-Def.

    A combination of blood pressure, poor diet and exercise, hereditary growth hormones, and excessive walking/hiking left me with varicose veins in my legs, resulting in often swollen, purple ankles since the veins are stretched so wide the pressure from the heart can't push it back up all of the time. I feel like this is the kind of thing that should be taught more in schools, especially since teenagers and kids often go for cheap, sugary/salty/fatty foods.

      Try to do more cardio and eating more vegetables with fruits and proper meat then.
      I'm doing calisthenics, you know skin the cat, one arm pullup etc.. And I had some my veins more pumped up, than it would be cool. When I started to do more cardio, they seem more relaxed (and also my overall perfomance got better), so running, cycling, swimming, maybe it could help your varicose.

    • @Pumpkin0_0
      @Pumpkin0_0 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I don't know about everyone else, but I was taught all these things in public school and we even had to do class presentations about it. It was my choice to not really care about them as a young teen because no one told me I was learning about my own body because it's important, instead of just because I had to know temporarily only to pass a test at the end. People often say "School is important", and I believe the same, but not telling teens *why* it's important will result in many people forgetting they were taught these things in school, or even thinking that "school is useless".

    I battle high BP, had a heart attack at 42 and have a stent in the artery on the right side of my heart.
    People say a bad heart attack feels like an elephant sitting on your chest; it's an apt description. It's by far THE most pain I've ever experienced. So much pain, in fact, that for the first hour I could do nothing but literally writhe in agony on my bed, begging for it to stop. It was a further 2 hours before I could drive myself to the ER.
    When my BP gets too high, I can literally see it. The edges of my vision darken with each heartbeat -- sort of like the beginning of tunnel vision, but the tunnel never closes fully.
    Plus when it gets that high, I can also feel the extra pressure in my eyeballs with each beat.

    One thing many aren't aware of that raises BP is straining on the toilet. If you're constipated or just finding it difficult to make a bowel movement happen, don't spend an endless effort to try to push it out. Typically people will hold their breath while straining and this increase BP in your head dramatically. If done often enough, you can cause serious damage to your arterial walls. Same for lifting weights at the gym while holding your breath too often.

      Unprocessed salt doesn't cause this effect because it's balanced with other trace minerals which normalize blood pressure. Sodium Chloride (aka table salt) is what you don't want to load up on, and it's what most processed foods have, sans the trace minerals. Pink Himalayan Salt, Sea salt, Redmond's Real salt, Kosher Salt, etc. Basically any NATURAL rock salt will have 60-80+ trace minerals that you need in balanced amounts for a healthy electrolyte balance and blood pressure.
