endorphins
When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain. Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body,
hypertension
A condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high.
Usually hypertension is defined as blood pressure above 140/90, and is considered severe if the pressure is above 180/120.
atherosclerosis
build up of plaque in the arteries caused most likely by stress
wich is not a related side affect of stress

Heart failure
a condition in wich the heart can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs

arrythmia
a problem with the rate or rhythm of a persons heartbeat. the heart beats to quickly, to slowly, or with an irregular pattern
ischemic heart disease
a category of heart related problems caused by the narrowing of coronary arteries wich supply blood and oxygen to the heart muscle
Atherosclerosis
the process by wich plaque is formed in arteries leading to reduced blood flow
hypertension
consistently elevated pressure
systolic blood pressure
the pressure in arteries and other blood vessels when the heart is contracting; the first top number is recorded
The pressure in arteries and other blood vessels when heart is at rest or between beats; the second bottom number recorded
diastolic blood pressure
Diabetes
chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency wich impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fat and protein
glucose
the simplest form of carbohydrate used by the body for energy
Insulin resistance
the inability of the cells to respond to insulin occurs in type 2 diabetes
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
progressive lung disease including emphysema, chronic brochitis, and refractory (non-reversible asthma.
endorphins
a group of hormones secreted by the brain that provides a variety of physiological functions such as reducing the perception of pain
