Powerful Breathing Exercises to Lower Your Blood Pressure
Breathing exercises can temporarily lower your blood pressure and heart rate by activating the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, sending signals to and from the brain, heart, and gut. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for rest and relaxation and counteracts the sympathetic nervous system's "fight or flight" response.
Can Vegans Have High Cholesterol?
A vegan diet is typically low in cholesterol. Eating a plant-based diet ideally includes a wide variety of vegetables, including fermented plant foods, fruits, whole grains, nuts and seeds, soy and plant-based dairy alternatives, and plant-based oils such as olive and grapeseed. For people who are prone to high cholesterol levels, veganism may be a lifestyle modification to consider.
Can Drinking Coffee Raise Your Blood Pressure?
Coffee can cause temporary blood pressure spikes in people with and without hypertension (high blood pressure). However, these short-term effects depend on how well you tolerate caffeine. Blood pressure tends to climb higher in adolescents and people who don’t drink coffee or caffeinated beverages often than in people who regularly drink moderate amounts.
Can Dehydration Cause Heart Palpitations and Racing Heart Rate?
When the body loses too much water, the volume of blood traveling throughout the body decreases, and blood pressure lowers. When blood pressure lowers, a person's heart beats faster to ensure oxygen-rich blood reaches vital organs like the brain and kidneys.
What You Need to Know About Massive Heart Attacks
All heart attacks are serious, but a massive heart attack can be particularly deadly. A massive heart attack occurs when one of your arteries is blocked, disrupting oxygen flow to the heart. The most serious type of heart attack is an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
