Stress and Blood pressure

When you are exposed to stress or feel that you are in danger, part of the brain called the hypothalamus (where the nerve centers that regulate body temperature, appetite, water balance, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, blood pressure and sleep), includes a series of actions that and prepares you for flight or fight for their lives. Part of the response to stress are more frequent and tighter heart rate, causing the rise in blood pressure. In chronic (prolonged) stress, blood vessels, "compressed" and smaller in diameter.
As a result, the resistance increases, further increasing blood pressure. Studies have shown that residents of areas with high crime is more prevalent hypertension
.
High blood pressure - only one of the side effects of stress. Long-term or repeated stress leads to depression, increased risk of diabetes and / or peptic ulcers (gastric and duodenal ulcers), reducing the level of sex hormones and the general decrease in the ability of the immune system to fight disease. Platelets can become more "sticky" than they should be putting you at greater risk of cardiac disorders. The balance of chemicals the body after the stress is usually restored. But when too much stress, the levels of these substances in the gaps can "hang" on the stress marks, corresponding to the high speed of the body, keeping you constantly elevated blood pressure and putting a greater risk of heart disorders, ulcers and other complications.

Men & Menopause

Perfect Man does not happen. Everyone has their little secrets, quirks and complexes. It is believed that all systems - from childhood. But there is a category of complexes, which are carefully disguised as individual character traits, and characterized, mostly men.

The man simply must be courageous and strong, he should try to be a leader and never cry. Gender stereotypes permeated the entire male being, - since my childhood ... This belief is often corrupts men, turning them into slaves of their own brutality.

Menopause - a natural stage in the life of man, which normally occurs between the ages of 45 to 60 years. During this period violated the mechanisms of regulation of the hypothalamus, pituitary, testicles, providing its sexual function, decreased production of sex hormones, which in turn leads to a change in hormone balance, metabolism, restructuring of many organs and systems.

For most men, who in his youth observe proper work and rest, regularly engaged in physical exercise, eat rationally, do not abuse alcohol and smoking, nervous and endocrine systems are easier and faster to adapt to the coming of age adjustment, and it runs quietly. And those who have adaptive mechanisms are weakened by disease, injury and, more importantly, chaotic lifestyles, suffer menopause sometimes very hard. They most often develop cardiovascular disorders, neuroses. They do not come to a head hot flashes, sudden reddening of the face and neck, increased sweating, dizziness. In severe, pathological course of menopause is often the hands and feet numbness, tingling of the skin, a flicker of "flies" in front of his eyes.

Excess Weight

Excess weight - one of today's problems. And the more offers of different diets, weight loss programs to get rid of the emerging of a man's tummy, the more it seems that the problem is unsolvable.

As a rule, full of intellectual labor affects people who do not have regular physical activity. Long-term "sedentary work" in an office behind a computer and a desk, sitting behind the wheel of a car for a few hours a day, lack of exercise during the day - all this leads to the fact that the body begins to store fat. The representatives of the stronger sex starts growing tummy, abdominal muscles weaken, fat is deposited on the sides, because the calories, which is rich in our food are not wasted by the body. To solve this problem can only be radically changing the mode of the day, adding physical activity, even in those conditions in which modern man lives.

Physiology of men is that each piece of high-calorie postponed it in the abdomen and stomach is a ball, more and more increasing in size. The result - the deformation of the spine, experiencing unnecessary strain, compression of internal organs. Sweets, meats, fats, elementary overeating high calorie foods - all this is the cause of excess weight. The solution is obvious - moderation in eating, nutrition, introduction to the diet of fruits and vegetables, fiber, limiting sweets and salt, preservatives or smoked. But if it is difficult to abandon the familiar rhythm and quality of food, you can simply divide their food and eat only half of what is planned to eat. Thus, the diet will be reduced by 50% while keeping it familiar foods.

Hormonal causes - are the most frequent causes of obesity. After sixty years in a man drops the level of the main male hormone - testosterone, as a result - the muscles are unusable, they lose water they need for normal operation.
