Hypertension is a condition in which the pressure within your arteries is consistently too high. If your blood pressure is too high, your heart must work harder to maintain adequate blood flow to your body. The long-term effects of this pressure may cause the heart to fail.

Your blood pressure is strictly regulated. Low blood pressure can cause dizziness, fainting, and a lack of oxygen to vital organs like the kidneys and brain. When a Doctor uses the term “shock”, it usually implies that there has been a drastic drop in blood pressure, leading to inadequate blood flow through the body.

Too high blood pressure may damage blood vessels and vital organs over time. Hypertension is without a doubt one of the leading causes of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, dementia and eye disease.

Your heart functions as a muscular pump that contracts rhythmically and pumps oxygenated blood from your heart through your large vessels, such as the Aorta. Blood is channelled to your entire body through a circulatory of smaller vessels. All arteries are surrounded by smooth muscle that regulate blood pressure. Constriction of the muscle in the artery wall causes it to narrow, which increases the resistance.

RYNPARK TALK

your health - HYPERTENSION

Your blood pressure increases and decreases according to the demands placed on it. Blood pressure rises when you’re active and falls when you’re inactive, for example during restful sleep. Your inactively reduces the demand for oxygen and, therefore, your blood pressure is usually lowest at night and highest when you get up in the morning.

We encourage regular visits to your clinic sister to monitor your vital signs. Prevention is better than cure.

TALK ON HYPERTENSIONFriday 24 May 10:00 – RP1 Hall

GARDEN CLUBBy Sandra Jakobi

Last month the garden club members enjoyed an informative talk by Bob Heynes on on how gardeners are looking after the environment. TIPS FOR MAY– Feed bulbs and bedding plants every two weeks. Pinch out the first flowers

from annual bedding plants to encourage blooming.– While shrubs are showing off their autumnal colours, its a good idea to choose

some new plants to bring seasonal colour to your garden next year as annuals are getting so pricey.

– Add brilliant colour for winter and spring. Grow primulas-malacoides, aucalis and obconica for the shade.

– In sunny spots, our favourites are pansies, poppies, violas, stocks, snapdragons and diathus etc. the list is endless.

– Add biannuals like foxgloves, aquelegia and delphinums.– I hope you have not forgotten your Namaqaland daisies, bokbaar vygies and

virginian stock seeds.– Water roses weekly and don’t forget to spray with a fungicide for the black

spot. Destroy these leaves in your rubbish bag to prevent spread.– This is an ideal time to plant or transplant roses.– Continue planting spring flowering bulbs. Water deeply and ensure they never

dry out completely.– Feed the birds more regularly as their natural feed sources start to run low.– As temperatures plummet bring out the frost cover. If possible move your

more tender plants to a sheltered sunny place.

Die koei‘n Opstel deur ‘n laerskool kind. Met spelling en deeltekens.

Die koei is ‘n soogdier. Hy is ook ‘n huisdier. ‘n Koei is orrals. ‘n Koei het ‘n baie fein reik, ‘n mens reik hom oor die jele plaas. Agter aan die koei sit die stert. An die een kant van die stert sit die pint van die stert wat die kwas genoem word en an die annerkant sit die koei.

Die koei gebruik die kwas om die flieje van haar weg te hou anners val hule innie melk. Vooran die koei sit die kop. Daar groei die hoorings. Die kop hou ook die bek vas. Tissen die stert en die kop sit die koei. Die hele koei is oorgetrek met ‘n bees vel.

Onneran die koei hang die melk. Om die melk te kry maak jy die bene vas. Die agterstes. Dan sit jy onder die koei en trek die toutjie. Dan kom die melk. As die gras goed is. Is die melk goed. As die gras sleg is, is die melk sleg. As die donnerweer in die lug is, is die melk weg. As dit ‘n ou koei is, is die melk suur.

Dit is baie goedkoop om ‘n koei aan te hou want jy gee hom net eenkeer kos, dan kou hy twee maal. Die man van die koei is die os. Dit lyk net soos die koei maar daar hang nie melk aan hom nie. Om os te sê is nie ‘n vloekwoord nie. Verder weet ek niks. Behalwe as ‘n koei stip na jou kyk moet jy padgee want dan is dit ‘n bul.

WONERFUL SUCCULENTSSucculents are becomming more and more popular. They have a wonderful variety of colours, texture, and shapes and are incredibly easy to grow. Their flowers are spectacular but unfortuntely short lived.

Succulents are seen as a way to save water during the times of water restrictions and still have an attractive garden.

With the price of plants going up higher and higher, succulents are a very economical way to fill your garden. Just ask another resident for a little piece of their plant and it will grow easily.

Die volgende oomblik gebeur dit, ek moes koes want dis vlieënde pierings net waar jy kyk die hele kombuis vol.

Vitamin FWhy do I have a variety of friends who are all so different in character ? How can I get along with them all? I think that each one helps to bring out a “different” part of me.– With one of them I am polite.– I joke with another friend.– I sit down and talk about serious

matters with one.– With another I laugh a lot.– I listen to one friend’s problems.– Then I listen to another one’s

advice for me.My friends are all like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When completed they form a treasure Box !!! We all pray for each other. Even Doctors tell us that friends are good for our health. Dr. Oz calls them Vitamin F (for Friends) and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our well being. Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes. If you enjoy Vitamin F constantly, you can be up to 30 years younger than your real age. The warmth of friendship stops stress and even in your most intense moments it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50%. *I’m so happy that I have such a huge stock of Vitamin F.

Oordenking/Meditation by Jan Lubbe

GAAN JY OF KOM JY?Petrus en ‘n paar ander vissermanne het ‘n hele nag lank probeer en niks gevang nie. Jesus sê hulle moet weer die nette ingooi en hulle vang toe so baie dat die nette wou skeur! Petrus besef hoe groot en heilig Jesus is en sê: Gaan weg van my af, Here, want ek is ‘n sondige mens. Gelukkig gaan Jesus nie weg nie, maar sê later vir Petrus en vir my en vir jou: Kom na My toe almal wat uitgeput en oorlaai is van julle sonde en Ek sal julle rus gee. Ek sal julle sonde vergewe. Nog later sê Jesus: Kom na My toe as jy dors is en drink van die lewende water wat net Ek kan gee.

Petrus sê vir Jesus: Gaan weg!Jesus sê vir Petrus: Kom na My toe!

AMENDO YOU COME OR GO?Peter and a number of fishermen tried the whole night but could not catch any fish. Jesus told them to try again and they caught a very great number of fish, and their net was breaking! Peter then realised who Jesus was and said: Depart from me, O Lord, for I am a sinful man! Luckily Jesus did not go but later said to Peter and to you and me: Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Still later Jesus said: Come to Me and drink of the eternal water that only I can give you.

Peter said to Jesus: Go away!Jesus said to Peter: Come to Me!

AMEN
