Comment on low blood pressure and also adipose tissue

[Guest guest]

Salt intake, and it's effects on any individual, or just that,

individual effects. Not everyone will increase water uptake when they

increase salt intake. There is also a human condition that results from

large quantities of salt intake actually decreasing the bodies retention

of water. Without the increase in fluid retention, blood pressure will

still be about the same. Walk around with your stomach held tight all

the time, and you can get a slight increase in BP.

Getting light headed when standing is not just from BP, but from blood

gases changing rapidly.

As for muscle versus adipose tissue...the old rule of thumb is

accurate, the heart has to pump fluids through an additional three

miles of vessels for each pound of fat, is not required in other tissue

types. I think anyone's heart would be happier with lots of muscle and

less fat.
