Blood Pressure: Resting Blood Pressure: What is it? Resting blood pressure is your blood pressure while at rest. The average resting blood pressure is 120/80. What does it mean? Resting blood pressure means it’s the amount of pressure on your arteries when your heart is “at rest” (between beats). The blood isn’t forcibly pumping through your arteries. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): What is it? Hypertension is a condition where blood pressure remains elevated above normal levels consistently. What does it mean? It indicates that the heart is working harder than normal to pump blood through the arteries, which can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease or stroke. Pre-Hypertension: What is it? Pre-hypertension is a borderline state characterized by blood pressure readings that are higher than normal but not yet classified as hypertension. What does it mean? It suggests increased risk for developing full-blown hypertension if lifestyle modifications are not adopted.

Systolic: The systolic pressure is the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats and pumps blood out. Diastolic: The diastolic pressure is the pressure in your arteries when your heart is resting between beats. Proper posture is crucial for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels and overall musculoskeletal health. Proper posture involves aligning the ears, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles in a straight line to reduce unnecessary strain and improve circulation. Incorrect postures such as lordosis, kyphosis, or scoliosis can negatively impact blood pressure and cause discomfort. To improve posture, individuals should engage in exercises that strengthen core muscles, practice ergonomic positioning, and stretch tight muscles. Lordosis refers to an exaggerated inward curve of the lower back, kyphosis involves an excessive outward curve of the upper back, and scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine. Hydration: A good rule of thumb for hydration is to drink enough water so that your urine is light yellow. Proper hydration benefits include maintaining blood volume, regulating body temperature, and supporting joint and muscle function. Signs of dehydration include dark yellow urine, dry mouth, fatigue, and dizziness.
