HYPERTENSION: When the heart beats, it pumps oxygenated blood into the arteries and through these the blood is distributed to the different tissues and organs of the body, oxygenated and nourished. The pumping of the heart generates a force against the walls of the arteries is called blood pressure. The heart contracts (heart muscle) and generates a so-called systolic blood pressure or maximum that can normally vary between 90 and 130 mm Mercury-Hg-(unit of measurement of blood pressure). When the heart relaxes generates the minimum diastolic pressure normally between 60 and 80 mmHg.La hypertension (HT) is the increase of these values \u200b\u200babove normal (usually values \u200b\u200babove 140/90 mmHg .) It is considered a bad silent because it does not produce symptoms until such an increase may lead to irreparable alteration of different organs (heart, brain, kidney, mainly). The most important risk factors include high cholesterol and triglycerides (these deposited in the arteries and are accumulating and forming plaques Call Settings "of atherosclerosis, there decreasing the radius of the arteries and consequently increasing the pressure within the same, obesity, consumption ex-sodium salt retains fluid and this increases blood pressure, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, physical activity reduces the risk of hypertension, " smoking, alcohol, stress. It is also important genetic factor (periodic monitoring is recommended if you have a family history). DIABETES: It is a metabolic disorder, in this case in the process of converting food eaten into energy. During digestion the ingested food is broken down to create glucose, which is the main source of fuel for the body. There is a hormone, insulin (secreted by a gland called the pancreas, located behind the stomach) that plays a key role in this process and after ingestion, glucose enters the blood and insulin allows you to enter all diabetes células.En this process fails because :. the pancreas makes little or no insulin (Type I diabetes) usually occurs in people under 30 years old and children. Is insulin-dependent. The cells of the pancreas produce little or no insulin, so glucose accumulates in the bloodstream instead of entering the cell .. the body's cells do not respond to insulin that is produced (cell resistance) combined with poor insulin secretion (Diabetes type II) occurs in adulthood, is associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle and disease is a general inmunológica.Síntomas diabetes: fatigue, increased thirst and appetite, weight loss, nausea, vomiting , increased urination (these symptoms are given in the type 1) having a deficient cellular metabolism is an increase in fatty acids, triglycerides and LDL may have long-term nerve, eyes, kidneys and blood vessels. COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a lung disease that prouce a blockage in the flow of air into the lungs, is almost irreversible and is caused by a chronic response to cigarette smoke. Within the COPD include 2 diseases: chronic bronchitis and emphysema (see below for explanatory illustrations.) Clinical: cough, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), fatigue, coughing (more on bronchitis), changes in functional studies, deformation of the rib cage, lung hyperinflation (air in the lungs, is on the rx), disorders heart, etc.. PARKINSON DISEASE: a disease caused by neuronal degeneration of central nervous system structure called the substantia nigra (which produces and secretes a substance called dopamine, an important inter alia in the regulation of motor functions), located in the midbrain. The substantia nigra is connected to another structure called the striatum (located in the brain) through the dopamine that acts as a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger between neurons), thus generating neural circuits that are related to the control of movements, posture , muscle tone, etc.. Thus, the damaged nerve cells in the substantia nigra, these circuits are altered by the loss of dopamine. The main symptoms include slowness of voluntary movements, tremor, muscle and joint stiffness, impaired motility fine (writing, cutting, etc..), Postural abnormalities, loss of automatic movements (eg. Rolling of the arms when walking). THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PATHOLOGIES monitored and supervised by qualified professionals, and to improve the QUALITY OF LIFE, INDEPENDENCE CREATES THE DAILY ACTIVITIES AND DELAY AND / OR PREVENTING THE APPEARANCE OF SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE. (See above benefits of physical activity).
