I thought the saying goes APRIL showers bring May flowers.. I didn't know it rained in May ð©ð© I keep seeing heavy T-storms in the area this evening, and if you were around over the weekend then you saw and heard about the massive tree damage down near Smyrna, so this line of storms is no joke.
Study says crossing legs can increase health risks. Alix Redmonde. SARASOTA, Fla. - According to a study published in the journal Blood Pressure Monitoring, sitting with your legs crossed at the knee can raise your blood pressure. The study finds leg crossing increased systolic blood pressure nearly 7% and diastolic by 2%.
If you stand up from a sitting or lying down position and experience orthostatic hypotension, it is likely that your systolic blood pressure has decreased at least 20 mm/HG or your diastolic blood pressure has decreased at least 10 mm/HG within three minutes of standing.
