Hypothermia
Hypothermia is when the body reaches abnormally
low body temperature. The condition needs
treatment at body temperatures of 35C (95 F) or
below. And it becomes life threatening when the body
reaches temperatures of 32.2 C (90 F).
Dehydration
Dehydration is the excessive loss of
body water caused by heat exposure,
prolonged vigorous exercise, and
kidney disease.
Blood Pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries.
The top number is the systolic pressure. The systolic pressure is when the heart beats.
The bottom number is the diastolic pressure. The diastolic pressure is when the heart is at rest.
It is lowest as you sleep and rises when you get up. It also can rise when you are excited,
nervous, or active.
Your blood pressure is normal when you systolic pressure is or less than 120 and your diastolic
pressure is or less than 80.
If you have a systolic pressure of 140 or higher and a diastolic pressure of 90 or higher
then you have high blood pressure.
If you only have a high systolic or diastolic pressure then you still have high blood
pressure.
There are many ways to lower your blood pressure including the following: Weight
Management (losing as little of 10 pounds can help lower blood pressure), Quit
Smoking (that is if you smoke), Exercise (daily activity not only can lower you blood
pressure but get you into shape), Stress Management (take time to relax), and Reduce
Alcohol Intake.
