antihypertensive
How is sitting cross legged bad for you?
Sitting cross-legged can lead to poor posture, which may strain the lower back and hips over time. It can also restrict blood flow to the legs and increase pressure on the knees, potentially causing discomfort or pain. Additionally, prolonged cross-legged sitting might exacerbate muscle imbalances and contribute to stiffness in the hips and lower body. Regularly changing positions and incorporating stretches can help mitigate these effects.
What can cause numbness in the big toe especially after sitting?
Pins and needles...don't cross your legs.
Why does sitting cross legged for a long time cause your legs to fall asleep?
Because it cuts off circulation? That would be my guess. It cuts off the blood flow to the femoral artery, which is on the inside of the thigh.
Can you give blood when taking Inderal?
Hi,I believe you can still donate whilst on blood pressure medications such as Inderal.This is the explanation in the FAQ section on the Red Cross website (Australia):Blood pressure - I take high blood pressure medicine. Can I donate? Medicines for the control of blood pressure are acceptable, providing your blood pressure is adequately controlled and stable.
Are you more likely to get arthritis if you run cross country?
no because your blood is pumping and not just sitting in one spot so no
Can veins store blood?
Cross sectional area of veins is four times that of arteries This large cross sectional area plus large degree of compliance (yielding to pressure) implies that large amounts of blood can be stored in the veins with only minimal increase in pressure.
Can veins store excess blood?
Cross sectional area of veins is four times that of arteries This large cross sectional area plus large degree of compliance (yielding to pressure) implies that large amounts of blood can be stored in the veins with only minimal increase in pressure.
Why does the hydrostatic pressure in the heart drop when blood moves away from the heart?
Hydrostatic pressure in the heart decreases as blood moves away due to the dissipation of pressure through the vast network of blood vessels. As blood travels through arteries, arterioles, and capillaries, friction and resistance from the vessel walls reduce the pressure. Additionally, the cross-sectional area of blood vessels increases significantly, particularly in capillaries, which further contributes to a drop in pressure. This pressure gradient is essential for facilitating blood flow throughout the body.
A 600N clown on stilts says to two 600 N clowns sitting on the ground i am exerting twice as much pressure as you two together! is this true?
It is likely to be untrue: he is likely to be exerting far more pressure. It will be true if the cross sectional area of the bases of the stilts are a quarter of the cross-sectional area of the contact area between the sitting clowns and the ground. The stilts' base is likely to be much smaller.
Who painted Jesus sitting on the cross?

Where is it tacky to cross legs when sitting dowm?
It is tacky to cross your legs when sitting down at a wedding. It is also tacky at a funeral because of the body language it shows.
