The Blood Pressure is Too Damn High

The systole pressure is the result of the contraction of the ventricles. It is a higher number than the diastolic pressure which is measured from the ventricle relaxing from the contraction. The equipment used to measure  heart rate is the index and middle finger or the stethoscope. To measure blood pressure a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer. The problem with using the thumb to measure pulse is that the thumb has its own pulse that would interfere with the measurement. To use a sphygomomanometer take the side with the tubes running out of it and have that running down the arm. Then wrap the sphygomomanometer around the upper bicep so that there is enough space to place the stethoscope on the artery.

I Aint Got No type. Good Health is the Only Thing That I Like

Health is the balance between pheromones and the five pillars of health; nutrition, exercise, social, sleep, and stress. When it comes to myself, I believe that my lifestyle is pretty healthy except for my nutrition. I eat out a lot and eat generally large portions of protein and small amounts of fruits and vegetables. Other than that, I get around 7 hours of sleep and try to lead an unstressful lifestyle.

Here at SHS I feel that most don't have healthy amounts of stress and get very little amounts of sleep. A way to help make students more healthy would be to have teachers communicate and try to limit the amount of things that conflict during the week like having a test in 2 different classes on the same day.

The main theme of this unit is how to lead a healthy life. How different aspects of life affect one's overall health. Not everyone has the same standards for health and that you know your own health more than anyone else and should be able to make decisions on how you live your life. In this unit, I learned specifically how pheromones work in the body and how some diseases happen when they don't function how they are supposed to.

Something I still don't fully understand in the unit is what is something healthy to eat? What exactly is bad besides trans fat-y foods? What is a healthy diet?

Next chapter I will try my best to make sure that I keep my notebook up to date because doing it before class is awful.

This article describes the effect of how sleep affects the weight of adolescence.

My health goals for after this football season is to lose 25lbs. I will work to eat more vegetables and fruits while keeping up on my weightlifting. A healthy life is important to me because I want to live a long life. I know when I have reached my goal when I weigh less then 175lbs.
