Standing increases the risk of heart disease

Predominately standing jobs increases
the risk of heart disease than sitting,
Researchers discovered that people were likely to develop heart disease, back problems and spontaneous abortions if they are predominately standing all day.

Standing causes blood to pool down towards the legs by putting more stress on the heart to circulate it back up.
People engaging in standing jobs must sit at intervals in order to prevent the risk of developing heart disease.

Researchers examined different people on their work habits based on if they predominantly sat, stood or combination of both. Men were 39 percent less likely to develop heart disease while women were 80 percent more likely to develop heart disease than those that were sitting. This shows that standing was more damaging to health than sitting while at work.

Prolonged standing on the job has been linked to a variety of health problems including varicose veins known as spider veins, they are more common in the legs because of the heightened pressure on them from excessive standing. Prolonged standing can leads to pain, discomfort and cardiovascular problem.

Potassium as good as sodium for healthy blood pressure

Potassium is a mineral that is needed for human body to function properly, it helps muscles to contract and promotes regular heartbeat.

Diet rich in potassium regulates harmful effects of too much salt in the body, excess consumption of sodium can cause hypertension, eating foods rich in potassium can reduce the blood pressure to normal. Foods rich in potassium are: Carrot, Banana, Sweet potato, Dark leafy greens,  Fish, and Avocado.

According to Dr Alicia McDonough of University of California, eating foods high in potassium is equivalent to taking a substance that increases production of urine and reduce sodium in the body.

High intake of potassium leads to excretion of more salt and water and decreases potassium excretion, this will put the blood pressure under control.

Researchers established the link between diet and blood pressure after accessing rodents and discovered that the body does a balancing act to control potassium in the body by using sodium.
