How to Diet Down NOW

I mean what is the best way(training) to start becoming stronger in the cardiovascular system, i mean actives like running and swimming, ect.. How should i start off and how fast should i step it up a notch??

Swimming is the best cardiovascular exercise possible, due to water resistance and the gravitational force and effort force to stay afloat. Simply said, swimming is the best because you need to work very hard. You should swim anywhere from a half of a mile to one mile+ if you want to be very heart healthy.

How do the nervous system connect with the cardiovascular system it’s for my biomedical class

Nervous system, specifically the brain stem controls the heart. There are several places from where the heat control takes place, such as medulla oblongata, pons, and mesencephalon, being some of the most important ones, but the controls centers are mostly scattered around the brain stem. The brain controls the heart through the autonomic nervous system (ANS), via two branches, the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parsympathetic nervous system (PNS). The vagus nerver that was mentioned previously, is part of the PNS. And SNS controls the heart primarily by releasing epinephrine (a.k.a. adrenoline) and related peptides from the adrenal medulla (the gland that is located on top of your kidneys).
In general, when SNS is activated, usually during an emergency, exercise, or high emotional state, the heart rate and the force of contraction both increase, thus increasing the cardiac output. Also, the blood in the blood vessels is redirected to vital organs that are necessary for immediate survival. This happens by means of vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels) and vasodilation (expanding of the blood vessels).
When PNS is activated, the heart rate decreases. This happens mostly when person is at rest, for example, after eating (so blood flow is redirectly towards stomach and intestines to maximise the absorbance of nutrients and their delivery to other organs), or when the person is sleeping.
PNS is the "rest and digest" system, while SNS is the "fight or flight" system.
Also, in terms of heat regulation, if the body is too cold, the brain sends signals to blood vessels in the skin to constirct, thus decreasing blood flow to skin and minimizing heat loss (that’s why you turn blue when you are cold). And if the body is too hot, blood flow to the skin is increased by vasodilation, thus increasing heat loss (that’s why you turn red when you are hot, blood is red and there is more of it next to the surface of skin).
These are just some of the major points, but there is of course more detail to each of them, but hope this helps

cigarette smoke contains thousands of chemicals, including nicotine and carbon monoxide. Nicotine constricts blood vessels. Carbon monoxide prevents oxygen from binding to hemoglobin on red blood cells. How do these two components of smoke affect the cardiovascular system?

clogs the artery’s kiddo

so i have this presentation on friday and i need to explain how papaya can be good for patients with cardiovascular disease.

Papaya is a storehouse of healthy nutrients which help in maintaining the health and well being of a person. It contains nutrients like Vitamin C, potassium, folate, dietary fiber, vitamin A, E, K and the eye-saving carotenoids- lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients help in maintaining the optimum health of a person as they provide shelter from various ailments like cardiovascular disorders, digestion related ailments, hypertension, strokes, cataract formation and cancer amongst others. Instead of taking nutritional pills and supplements, one should increase one’s intake of natural fruits which help in easy absorption of vitamins and minerals by the body.

Papaya promises abundant health benefits as it belongs to the group of yellow and orange fruits which are known to contain varying amounts of antioxidants which are required for the healthy functioning of the body. The antioxidants present in papaya along with other essential nutrients like folate, potassium and magnesium help in promoting health of cardiovascular system and also provide protection from colon cancer. This is because Vitamin A, C and E present in this nutritious fruit prevents the oxidation of cholesterol thereby providing protection from heart attacks and strokes. In addition, all these vitamins help in strengthening of the immune system which in turn provides protection from recurrent illnesses like cold, cough and flu.

People with poor digestive system should indulge in the healthy habit of consuming papayas as the latter contains an enzyme papain, which is useful for the easy breakdown of proteins. Thus the most common use of papaya is to aid in digestion and its natural digestive properties also act as an added advantage for people who want to lose weight. The health benefits of papaya are numerous and thus it is a fruit which must be included in one’s Diet. Moreover, papayas can be eaten in a number of ways including being eaten in their raw form and also in the form of pickles and chutneys.

The antioxidants present in papaya along with other essential nutrients like folate, potassium and magnesium help in promoting health of cardiovascular.Papaya seeds contain glucoside and Caricin. Medicinal Uses: Papaya promotes cardiovascular health and protects against colon cancer.Papayas are rich sources of carotene, vitamin C and B, potassium , magnesium and fibre. These nutrients improve the cardiovascular system.

Take care as always

Roughly, what is the healthy amount of cardiovascular exercise?

Please list specific exercise and specific time for specific ages.

e.g. running, swimming, biking.

it depends on fitness level, and intensity?
is this you? or someone else…
personally, i;ve trained 3 1/2 hours a day for a few months consecutive. but it eventually takes it out of you.

is there a goal behind the cardio? fitness? weight loss? depends on what your goal is for the amount i would prescribe.

why is it important to stay in good cardiovascular shape?dumb question but who cares.please help

So you don’t die as quickly due to heart problems.

my friend recently diagnosed with cardiovascular disease . she is only 20 and suffering some issues in private life.i am seeing her being so depressed all times. she is so young but i wonder is that possible people who suffer depression or lonely can have heart disease?

Depression is a symptom of cardiovascular disease….or at least that is what i am finding online.

People with cardiovascular disease may not have any symptoms, or they may experience difficulty in breathing during exertion or when lying down, fatigue, lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting, DEPRESSION, memory problems, confusion, frequent waking during sleep, chest pain, an awareness of the heartbeat, sensations of fluttering or pounding in the chest, swelling around the ankles, or a large abdomen

in what ways can drugs be used to treat a cardiovascular problem?

Medicines can be used to slow down the heart beat rate, speed it up and thin down the blood.

Why is the rate of cardiovascular problems so high and what can we do about it?

We are a population that overeats and does no exercise. We also live longer due to drugs.
So, we can eat better and exercise more.
This will reduce the incidence of heart disease.
Simple, really.

Blood pressure can change in response to changes in activity to provide for the increased demand for blood flow. However, different types of exercise have different effects on blood pressure. For example, we see a significant increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure during upper body anaerobic exercise and not during lower body aerobic activity. Using your knowledge of cardiovascular physiology explain why this is the case and also include a discussion of the factors that affect blood pressure?

Anaerobic exercise would most likely be something such as weight lifting. During lifting the muscles compress the veins and when this happens there is less blood flow across the arms. However, when the muscles are no longer compressed the body somehow has to make up for the deficit of oxygen to the muscles during this compression so an increase in blood pressure causes the blood flow to increase to make up for the deficit faster.

Another reason for increased blood pressure may be that since the blood flow is upward, then the heart has to pump the blood against gravity causing this increase in BP.

The reason that the blood pressure does not increase during lower body aerobic exercise as much is because the arteries dilate as the blood flow increases. Therefore maintaining a blood pressure that is stable. Also since the blood is flowing downward then the heart does not have to pump as hard to move the blood since the force of gravity is helping the downward flow of the blood.
