Can yoga reduce high blood pressure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

Meditation is an exercise which is calming and promotes relaxation. Meditation cannot actually be properly performed if the person is unable to relax, and let go of their problems. It does address the most bothersome areas of their lives, and dealing with this can lower the blood pressure for a large stretch of time.

Everyone has things in their past which continue to cause problems in later life. Meditation helps you to move on, and live in the present whilst learning from the past. It is an invaluable tool to help one live a healthy and fulfilling life.

What is stab braking?

Apply your brakes all the way.

Release brakes when wheels lock up.

As soon as the wheels start rolling, apply the brakes fully again. (It can take up to one second

What does fat deficiency cause?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A deficiency in fat can cause many problems. Having a fat deficiency can cause you to be deficient in the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) as fat is required for them to be absorbed by the intestines. So it can cause those vitamin deficiency symptoms as well as fat deficiency symptoms.

I wasn't able to quickly find general fat deficiency symptoms, only essential fatty acid deficiency symptoms. So you can read all about that on a Google search.

If you're wanting to know if fats are really that important to your health, then absolutely. They serve many essential functions in the body. They're a major component of every cell membrane in the body.

If you're having health problems and you're wondering if it's due to a fat deficiency then you should consult with a doctor.

Can parasites transfer from one person to another?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Very definitely YES! There are more parasites that can be transmitted from one person to another than you would probably like to think about!

A few choice internal parasites:

Amoeba = a microscopic (Protist) that causes Amoebic dysentery. Death from diarrhea is not pleasant.

Ascaris = a large, unpleasant intestinal roundworm. Spread by poor sanitation and hygiene.

Hookworm = another intestinal roundworm, but not as large as Ascaris. Spread the same way.

Tapeworm: potentially several feet long, this flat, segmented worm takes up residence in your intestine and eats what you eat. Easily "broken", each segment is capable of infecting someone else, or re-infecting you if you have poor hygiene.

and... what is probably the most deadly organism on the planet...

Plasmodium falciparum..... a parasitic protist (microscopic "animal") that causes malaria. It kills tens of thousands of the world's poorest people every year!

And then of course there are ectoparasites- they live outside of your body- head lice, scabies, bedbugs, chiggers, etc.

What cancer kills the fastest?

User Avatar

Pancreatic cancer is often considered one of the cancers that can be particularly aggressive and have a relatively fast progression. This is because pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage when it has already spread to nearby tissues or other organs, making it challenging to treat effectively.

Has anyone every experienced an involuntary anal sphincter twitching or know what causes it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No idea what causes it, but I saw other answers that said it might be a pinched nerve. Someone else phrased it as similar to an eye twitch which I used to get. The twitching eye went away eventually on it's own, so might just have to put up with it until it goes away.

Can taking willow bark cause internal bleeding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Assuming you're taking it orally. One of the constituents of willow bark is Acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as Aspirin. One of the dangerous side effects when taking aspirin and other NSAID's on a regular basis is the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. This bleeding can occur either through direct irritation of the gastric mucosa, or more commonly through action of the drug reducing your gut's ability to produce mucus.

If you suspect internal bleeding, immediately discontinue the use of the willow bark and contact an MD/DO as soon as possible. Drugs such as Aspirin may decrease your ability to stop bleeding.
