Daily 5 - Day 351

Today's daily 5:

1. time in Kensington for tea with a friend
2. Roman Provence Rooibos tea.  my favorite, and not available at all that many tea houses.
3. a natural health treatment this morning from a new practitioner I'm going to see for a while to see if she can help with some of the physical and emotional issues I'm working through at the moment.
4. I helped lay some sod today as part of an ongoing bit of landscaping my parents are doing.  It was nice to work outside for a while.
5. around the other things on my schedule, I managed to also get through an anatomy chapter that also needed to be accomplished today.

Random Anatomy Fact of the Day

A few weeks ago my fascinating fact had to do with the reason your nose runs when you cry.

Today's random anatomy fact involves obesity and high blood pressure.

If you have an increase in the number of blood vessels in your body, your blood pressure is higher.

The reason obese people tend to have high blood pressure is this:  For every extra kilogram of weight that a person puts on, the body develops approximately 650 kilometers of extra blood vessels.

650 km.  How crazy is that?
