A great new blog that looks at wellness from viewpoint of curiosity. From the page: "This person is a man in his twenties. His heart rate is elevated, so is his blood pressure. He is breathing heavily. He is sweating and swaying from side to side. What's going on with him? `I don't know but it sounds serious. I think we should call a Doctor for him.' You're sure he's sick. `I'm no expert but from what you describe he sounds quite ill.' Oh yes, there's one other thing I forgot to mention. He is snowboarding. `Snowboarding! You mean the going-down-a-slope-on-a-board, snowboarding?' The very same. `Should he be doing that in his condition?' And what condition is that? `Well the sweating and swaying and all.' He is breathing heavily because he is exerting himself and he needs more oxygen. His heart rate is up because his body is pumping the blood around his body faster to deliver the oxygen to his muscles. The increase in his heart rate causes his blood pressure to rise also. Because of all this activity his body is starting to heat up and sweating is his body's way of cooling down. `Yeah. . .well. . . What about the swaying?' He's snowboarding! You generally sway from side to side when you are snowboarding. `Oh Right.' So do you still think he is sick? `No.' Why not? `Well you told me he wasn't sick.' I didn't actually. I just told you he was snowboarding and I explained his symptoms. `Well they're not symptoms are they.' What would you call them? `Well they're just what happens when you exercise.'"
