Temperature
Normal body temperature indicates
normal cellular functions.
Cellular functions are normal when all
requirements of life are satisfied properly. Toxins that upset
life interfere with cell function and cause the cell to fail to perform
respiration. Failed respiration at the cell level produces fever.
Fever is an OMINOUS sign of
malfunctioning cells. If exercise is performed with fever serious
mishaps would occur. The worst is ruptured cordea tendinea that
move the valves of the heart. This is a life long ailment that
could easily prevented. When the heart valves fail to close
and open properly the entire health is impaired.
Another serious consequence of exercising
with fever is injuries to the heart valves themselves. That would
cause abrasion that would heal by scarring of the valves and cause them
to calcify. It is not a good course to follow particularly when it
could be avoided.
Pulse
Rate
Racing heart rate is another
sign of cellular dysfunction. Fast heat beating, whether due heart
disease, nervous problem, chemical effects of drugs, is a prohibition to
exercise. A heart that could not listen to the muscular demands
on exercise is a serious deterrent to physical activity.
Ever wonder why some people turn
red on excitement? why some people collapse on minor exertion?
Any physical activity induces the
muscles to contract. Even excitement does that too.
Contracting muscles dam the blood (accumulate the blood and diminished
the blood return to the heart). The heart has to be very quick in
restoring the blood pressure after the muscles have trapped it.
The heart receives signals from the blood pressure sensors to alarm it
about the sudden drop in blood return.
If the heart does not respond by fast
beating and forceful contraction, fainting pursues. The flushing
of the face on excitement is a sign that the blood vessels are reacting
to the muscular trapping of the blood due to excitement.
Sluggish heart rate is another
OMINOUS sign of malfunction. Alcohol and hypnotic medication could
slow the heart rate even to deadly level. Exercise is prohibited
when the heart rate is at any questionable state.
Mental Condition
Not feeling well! there is always tomorrow.
We try to promote weightlifting and exercise
and we must stress on the wisdom to do so. We exercise when we are well
in our highest faculties. Many serious health problems are so
insidious and any slight feeling of not well might be all that we might
know about something hidden. Just wait until your spirit
improves and the worst is over.
Exercise is no monkey business.
Even monkeys do have souls and minds of their own. The only reason
we exercise is that we are investing in health. We cannot invest
with troubled minds.
