About Hypotension

Low blood pressure is known as hypotension. It is in essence the opposite of high blood pressure, and happens when the heart does not need to do much work at all to push blood.

Since most people are aiming to lower their blood pressure from too-high levels, and since exercisers and others in very good health often have low blood pressure, it is not necessarily a "bad" state to be in.

What doctors call low blood pressure is when someone's blood pressure is lower than their NORMAL range. So say your normal blood pressure is 120/60. Then say you have some sort of accident and loose a lot of blood, and now your blood pressure is down to 90/30. You have very low blood pressure now because you are MISSING blood in your body and need to get some added back in.

In the same way, say your typical blood pressure was 200/150. This would be very high blood pressure. But say you had an accident and lost a lot of blood. Your blood pressure could now be down to 120/60. For many people this would be "OK" and healthy. But for YOU this is very low and dangerous, because your body is used to having a much different situation. You would need to be restored to your typical levels.

Causes of unhealthy low blood pressure include:

* dehydration
* injury or trauma
* allergic reactions to drugs

Low blood pressure also happens in older people if they stand up too fast - the blood does not get to their head quickly and they get dizzy. Sitting or lying down can help with this. In the few cases when an individual has a truly low blood pressure, they will have a lack of energy and frequent dizziness.

If your blood pressure is normally below 90/60, it might be good to talk to your doctor about hypotension. Also, if your blood pressure drops 30% or more below your normal blood pressure levels, this is also considered a situation worthy of examining.

The Farmer's Walk

This is a move you sometimes see in competition. In the traditional version, you pick up heavy weights in each hand and walk as fast as you can for as far as you can. In this version, you push a heavy weight overhead and walk, keeping your arms locked and your core very tight to support you. You can use a barbell or heavy dumbbells...or anything heavy that you can get a good grip on. Simply push the weight overhead (have a spotter nearby to help if you need to) and walk across the room holding the weight overhead (or at your sides). Repeat for as many laps as you can handle. You'll notice you have to use every muscle in your body to stay in control, so this is a wonderful whole body exercise.

Importance of Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1, also known as thiamin, helps fuel your body by converting blood sugar into energy. It keeps your mucous membranes healthy and is essential for nervous system, cardiovascular and muscular function.

Nutritionists categorize vitamins by the materials that a vitamin will dissolve in. There are two categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins, which include the B-complex group and vitamin C, travel through the bloodstream. Whatever water-soluble vitamins are not used by the body are eliminated in urine, which means you need a continuous supply of them in your food. Vitamin B1 is a water-soluble vitamin.

How Much Vitamin B1 Is Enough?
Women should have 1.1 milligrams every day, and men should have 1.5 milligrams every day.

Sources of Vitamin B1
The best sources of Vitamin B1 are yeasts and liver. The following foods are good sources of Vitamin B1:

• Pork
• Whole-grain cereals
• Rye and whole-wheat flour
• Wheat germ
• Navy beans and kidney beans

Can You Have Too Much or Too Little?
It's pretty rare in the United States for a person to be deficient in this vitamin. A lack of it can cause beriberi, a condition that involves confusion, muscle wasting, nerve problems and a rapid heartbeat. It's usually only seen in the United States in babies who are fed formula that isn't supplemented with Vitamin B1 or in people who drink large amounts of alcohol. People who drink heavily should talk to their doctors about how to quit drinking and whether they need vitamin B1 supplements.

Vitamin Storage
If you want to get the most vitamins possible from your food, refrigerate fresh produce and keep milk and grains away from strong light. Vitamins are easily destroyed and washed out during food preparation and storage. If you take vitamin supplements, store them at room temperature in a dry place that's free of moisture.
