FUN FACTS; WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BLOOD PRESSURE WHEN WE ARE DEHYDRATED

Water is very important in regulating our blood volume. Our blood volume affects blood  pressure, how much we pee and urine concentration (dilute or concentrated).  When we are  dehydrated, our blood volume decreases causing a low blood pressure. Low blood pressure  causes our heart to start beating very fast. When the hypothalamus, detects low blood volume  or little water in our blood, it signals the release of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) which  causes the kidney to remove less water in and to return blood pressure back to normal. THE RESULT ; We urinate less and our urine is usually more concentrated and darker in  color.  STAY HYDRATED

HOW THE SKIN PROTECTS US FROM HARMFUL INVADERS.

Our skin is part of our immune system. Immune system consists of network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect our body from infectious organism such as bacteria, virus etc. Our immune system destroys any foreign particles that tries to invade our body by mounting an immune response.  Our immune system is designed to identify self from non-self. Self are molecules such as proteins, that are a part of our body. Non-self refers to particles that are not made by the body. Our body recognizes this substance as potentially harmful. Example of non-self-particles are bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These organisms produce proteins called antigens that allow our body to recognize them as harmful. How the skin protects us from these harmful invaders; Skin; our skin is the first line of defense against pathogens. It is easier for germs to get into our body and cause an infection when there is a break in our skin.  The skin is the...

"ONE DAY AT A TIME"; MY NEW MANTRA

This is my new mantra " To take one day at a time".  I have learned that been anxious and worrying about issues that come up in our lives will not bring solutions to them. Suppose you found out that in three works that you could be laid off your job. You begin to worry about the financial impact it will cause you and your family. So many thoughts start coming into your mind, you start to worry that bills might go unpaid, losing your home, or you may not be able to keep up with your lifestyle.  You set off your mind and body into panic mood.  For some when they are under stress, they shutdown communications with family and friends. They stay at home all day, indulging in eating unhealthy food. Some people will turn to alcohol or drugs to help them relieve that pain and fear. At the end of the day those thoughts or habits will not fix the problem. It will only cause more harm than good. Overeating will not only cause weight gain, it might l...
