Heart Rate And Pulse

Heart rate is called pulse. Heart rate is the number of times your heart beats in a minute. When your heart’s beating rhythm is not normal, that's called an arrhythmia, which is the result of clogged or hardened arteries, high blood pressure, or issues with your heart’s valves.

There are four major types:

• Tachycardia: When your heart beats too fast, usually more than 100 beats a minute. A resting heart rate higher than 100 beats per minute happens most often in kids. It's also more common in women.

• Bradycardia: When your heart beats too slowly, below 60 beats a minute. A heart rate lower than 60 beats per minute can be caused by an infection, a problem with your thyroid gland (hypothyroidism), a chemical imbalance in your blood, breathing problems while you sleep (obstructive sleep apnea), or inflammatory diseases like lupus.

• Supraventricular arrhythmia: An arrhythmia that starts in your heart’s upper chambers. When you work out, your heart rate goes up.

• Ventricular arrhythmia: An arrhythmia that starts in your heart’s lower chambers. 

Resting Heart Rate

This is the number of times your heart beats in a minute when you’re not active and your heart isn’t having to work hard to pump blood through your body. Some medications like beta-blockers can slow your heartbeat and lower your resting heart rate. Most healthy adults should have a resting heart rate between 60 and 100 beats a minute. In general, the more physically fit  you are, the lower your heart rate will be. Athletes can have a normal resting heart rate in the 40s. A healthy one is a sign that your heart isn’t having to work too hard to circulate blood.

Checking Heart Rate

You can feel your heart rate by putting your first two fingers on the inside of your wrist, the inside of your elbow, the side of your neck, or on the top of your foot. Once you find it, count how many beats you feel in 15 seconds, and multiply that number by 4.

Lowering Heart Rate

A healthier lifestyle,  eating healthier, watching weight, and cutting down alcohol, caffeine, and smoking can help. Other ways to better handle stress are tai chi and meditation.

Celiac disease is called gluten-sensitive enteropathy

Celiac disease called gluten-sensitive enteropathy is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction damages your small intestine's lining and prevents it from absorbing some nutrients. The intestinal damage often causes diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating and anemia, and can lead to serious complications. There's no cure for celiac disease, but following a gluten-free diet can help manage symptoms and promote intestinal healing.

“Cereals made of corn, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, sorghum, millet, amaranth, teff, rice and gluten-free oats are naturally gluten-free,” says Suzanne Dixon, RD, with The Mesothelioma Center in Orlando, Florida.
