In this episode we will address the four common types of blood pressure medications, how and what organs they effect. We will also discuss the questions you need to ask your provider about the medications you are on. And of course, as I always tell you know what you are putting in your body, side effects and any accompanying test needed when using the medication.

The Agenda next Wednesday is as follows: 1) Normal vs Abnormal pressure, 2) The four

Common Blood Pressure Medications, 3) The Targeted Organ systems, 4) Side Effects

Conclusions

Heart Burn vs Heart Attack learn in our episode today the vital difference!!

Heartburn

• Cause: Occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus.
• Symptoms: Burning sensation in the chest, often after eating or while lying down. It may be accompanied by a sour taste in the mouth or regurgitation2.

Point #3: Definition for blood parameters given today as defined by whether. 130-139 stage 1 ; 140-higher stage 2; 180-higher critical stage.

Recognizing Patterns

Identifying sedentary patterns is crucial for making positive lifestyle changes and improving overall health.

As we age, our bodies undergo numerous changes that can affect our mobility, flexibility, and overall physical health. Stretching plays a crucial role in maintaining our body's functionality and preventing injuries. Moreover, after a joint injury, fracture, or surgery, incorporating stretching and movement is essential for a successful recovery. This episode of Body N Balance will address the importance of stretching and movement for older adults and for individuals recovering from joint injuries or fractures.

Aging is an inevitable process that brings about several physiological changes, including decreased muscle mass, reduced bone density, and loss of flexibility. The connective tissues surrounding our muscles and joints become stiffer, leading to limited range of motion and increased susceptibility to injuries. Maintaining flexibility through regular stretching can counteract these changes and provide numerous benefits:

· Improved Mobility: Stretching helps maintain and improve the range of motion in our joints, allowing for more effortless and fluid movements.

· Reduced Risk of Injury: Flexible muscles and joints are less prone to strains, sprains, and other injuries, making it easier to perform daily activities without discomfort.

· Enhanced Posture: Stretching can help alleviate muscle imbalances that contribute to poor posture, reducing the risk of back and neck pain.

· Better Circulation: Stretching increases blood flow to the muscles, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen, which can aid in recovery and overall muscle health.

COVID is NOT gone people! Our bodies are dealing with the virus much better now that we have been able to build up antibodies to fight the disease. However, it does mean we should abandon our safety and protection techniques to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria amongst us.

Our hands carry a lot and pick a lot of germs. Hands are by no means sterile. Therefore, we should keep are hands away from our eyes, mouths, and faces. Hand washing is essential to prevent the spread of disease but cutting down on the number of microbes we harbor on our hands.

Let's listen in on today's podcast to hear about GERM WARFARE: Hand washing is the key to prevention.
