Are saltwater pools safe for people who have high blood pressure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am not so sure. I have found that swimming in the sea definitley raises my blood pressure. The older you get, the more you notice this.

Not likely.

If your assumption is that the salt in the pool water is causing high blood pressure (like a high salt diet), then the answer is definitely, no.

The amount of salt in a saltwater treated pool is very low (around 0.5%, which is one-half of one-percent). This concentration of salt is about half as much as a teardrop (1%) and nearly eight times less than sea water (3.75%).

And since the salt in the water can't be absorbed through your skin, you would have to drink a LOT of pool water while you're swimming to intake any significant level of salt.

I'm not a doctor, but I would like to suggest that everyone eat right, exercise, and see a doctor if you think you have high blood pressure.

And keep swimming - it's great exercise.

I was wondering if anyone has used the Ab Circle Pro and if you did how did it work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All these gadgets that they show for tummy reduction work but they dont.
They say, they work on your ab muscles and make them strong.
They dont work because, they can only tone up ab muscle and not remove fat from ab alone. Your body preserves fats especially in your ab due to natural reasons. So a healthy lifestyle comprising of good food habits, regular activity to burn calories coupled with ab workouts are a good idea.

Exercise is very important for the cardiovascular health. But the muscle building exercise may not be important for the cardiovascular health. You have to do some brisk activity like running for 100 meters, very fast. That will increase your heart rate to 180 to 160 per minute. Older age go for lower heart rate. You have to be breathless.

What is the minimum number of days recommended for improving your cardiovascular fitness?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It doesn't take all day in the gym. "Substantial health benefits" can be obtained from moderate-intensity exercise like walking 30 minutes for five days a week, coupled with two or more days a week of strength training, according to Centers for Disease Control recommendations. That's 210 minutes - or only about 2 percent of your total week. These, of course, are minimal standards for those who are just beginning an exercise program or for those who are deconditioned. .

What does cardiovascular endurance have to do with gymnastics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Compared to many other sports gymnastics is not oriented towards cardiovascular fitness. Because strength and power are so important in gymnastics, too much work on endurance exercises actually reduces strength. The only endurance important in gymnastics is muscular endurance. Events such as women's uneven bars, men's high bar, parallel bars, rings and pommel horse require more muscular endurance and strength. The longest routines are no more than 90 seconds for men and women's floor exercise and the balance beam. Floor exercise requires a cardio-fitness foundation but this is the only event in gymnastics. Most high level gymnasts work endurance by performing routines and stay away from jogging and other forms of aerobic exercise. The primary focus in training is short-term energy systems, strength, power and speed.

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.

Structure of cardiovascular system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Cardiovascular System and Exercise

1) Delivers oxygen to working muscles
2) Oxygenates blood by returning it to the lungs
3) Transports heat (a by-product of activity) from the core to the skin
4) Delivers nutrients and fuel to active tissues
5) Transports hormones
Exercise places an increased demand on the cardiovascular system. Oxygen demand by the muscles increases sharply. Metabolic processes speed up and more waste is created. More nutrients are used and body temperature rises. To perform as efficiently as possible the cardiovascular system must regulate these changes and meet the body's increasing demands

Is fibrillation dangerous?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is a very dangerous condition. In A-fib, the heart is trying to pump too fast, but is uncoordinated. This means that blood is not circulated around the body well. It also causes blood to swirl around inside the heart and can lead to forming blood clots. If one of these blood clots goes to the lungs it can cause a pulmonary embolis, or if it goes to the brain it can cause a stroke, both of which could be deadly.
