What is Hypotension?

Normal blood pressure recording marks to 120 : 80 mm Hg. A blood pressure reading appears as two numbers. The top higher reading (i.e. 120)  is a measure of systolic pressure. This is the pressure in the arteries during heart beats when it fills them with blood. The bottom number measures diastolic pressure ( i.e. 80 ). It is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.

Normal desired blood pressure is less than 120/80 millimetres of mercury (mmHg). A reading lower than 90/60 mm Hg is considered low blood pressure.

In healthy individuals, low blood pressure without any symptoms is common and not harmful. But it can be a sign of an underlying problem with persistent symptoms of dizziness. It indicates inadequate blood flow to the heart, brain or other vital organs.

    Nice Article about Weight loss, thanks for sharing. People gain weight by consuming more energy than they burn, so consuming fewer calories, or energy, can help. However, other factors play a role, such as genetic factors, metabolism, hormones, the type of food you eat, your body type, and lifestyle.

    I am a vegetarian for ten years (no dairy and egg). But I have low blood pressure with underweight body (164cm with 35 kgs). I have serious constipation and unable to sleep well often (only4 hours per day). I have low engery due to insufficient sleep. I want to eat more but I have constipaton and made me not eating too much of foods. Any Suggestion you can give me both for diet and exercise. I live in Hong Kong. Your foods suggested I may be got from Hong Kong. So please suggest common foods that I can purchase in our area. I am pleasant to get your blog with lots of informative articles as well. I really want to build strong body as people always ask me why are you too thin ? Are you having any serious illness? This was happened anywhere when I am outside. Thanks for your guidance !
