Educating our clients for there long term Health & Well-being is one of our core values. Today Fit Eire give you a brief education on Blood Pressure:

Blood Pressure is the force of unit area exerted on the wall of a blood vessel by its contained blood. Optimal blood pressure is 120 mmHg & 80mmHg respectively. Hypertension is defined clinically by a doctor as an elevation in arterial blood pressure equal to or exceeding a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 140 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 90 mmHg.

- Medication of which we are not a fan.

Benefits of appropriate exercise for physical activity:
Regular physical activity and weight reduction form the core recommendations fort treatment and prevention of high blood pressure. In healthy individual’s aerobic exercise can decrease SBP 3-4 mmHg and decrease DBP 2-3 mmHg. In hypertensive individual’s reductions of 8-10 mmHg in SBP and 6-10 mmHg in DBP are possible. Some of the exercise benefits to blood pressure is what is termed as an acute effect, lasting for hours after the bout is finished. Hence there is a need for exercise on most days of the week.

Exercise Guidelines for the management of Blood Pressure:
Frequency - 3 to 7 days per week, preferably all days of the week. Daily exercise may provide more optimal control of blood pressure
Intensity - 40 – 70% max VO2R or HRR
Time - 30 – 60 minutes
Type - Large muscle group in aerobic activities
Resistance training - Not recommended as the primary form of exercise training for hypertensive individuals.

Fit Eire is not just a acute (Short term quick fix) service, we strive to educate our clients to live a long term chronic healthy lifestyle.

People always talk about the macros or Macronutrients they consume rarely do you hear about the Micronutrients. The vitamins and minerals. Here at Fit Èire we cover the full aspect of diet and nutrition in all of our plans. No element is over looked, So just a brief importance of a little but very important Vitamin, Vitamin D.

Vitamin D is more than just a vitamin, it has hormonal properties also, and vitamin D receptors have been found in over 40 different types of tissue throughout the human body. It plays a complex part in fat loss, since it can exert it’s effects in multiple ways. Good levels of vitamin D influence the production and release of the powerful satiety hormone leptin into your bloodstream, which helps regulate food cravings and assists in controlling calorie consumption. Low levels of vitamin D are known to cause insulin resistance, which ultimately leads to blood glucose levels rising beyond acceptable homeostatic boundaries. The final outcome is, excessive fat storage, and an imbalance in vital neurotransmitters leading to depression, which can again lead to overeating.

Vitamin D also works with calcium to suppress the production of large amounts of cortisol, the powerful stress hormone that can lead to muscle wastage, which in essence lowers your basal metabolic rate, and fat burning capability, and it changes the body biochemistry to fat storage instead of fat burning. Another way vitamin D helps fat loss is by helping testosterone production, which is a potent anabolic steroid hormone that causes muscle gain, and helps raise the fat burning effect.

It is important to ensure that your vitamin D levels are at a good level. Getting sufficient amount of sunshine will cause the production of vitamin D, and this is recommended to be done on a daily basis for a minimum of 15-20 minutes. During periods of low level light, in the winter months, vitamin D supplementation is recommended, as this is a period where vitamin D deficiency is more likely to occur, and with it the detrimental effects of fat gain.

So just a brief synopsis of why we include it in all our plans if you'd like to learn more feel free to contact us.
