Can yoga reduce high blood pressure?

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?

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?

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.

Is bronchitis a disease of the cardiovascular system or the respiratory system?

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucus membranes of the bronchi (the airways that carry air from the trachea into the rest of the lungs). As such it is clearly a disease of the respiratory system rather than cardiovascular. It can be the result of an infection or to exposure to noxious airborne components like cigarette smoke or pollution. Of course, if the inflammation is interfering with the ability of a person to breath, the effects will show up in the cardiovascular system as the blood may not be getting fully oxygenated as it passes through the lungs - but this is a secondary effect.
