It’s a sad statistic – depending on the study, anywhere from a quarter to one-half of all Americans today are overweight. It’s not just the adults – almost 14% of all children carry more weight than they should, a sharp increase from barely 5% only a few decades ago.
The reason for this, experts say, is that the average American exercises less than before. Also, as American families become more affluent, consumption of the wrong kinds of food increases accordingly. And while most schools require credits in Physical Education or JROTC for graduation, the growing number of overweight children tells us that these programs aren’t doing as well as we hope.
It’s been long known that being overweight has direct links to hypertension. Since the body is forced to carry more weight than what nature designed it to, the heart works harder to compensate. It gets larger, then grows weaker as time passes. Arteries may also harden, hampering the circulation of blood around the body.
Hypertension is marked by a blood pressure reading of over 120/80 mm Hg. Individuals who suffer from hypertension are at increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, dementia, blindness, and impotence.
Studies have shown that overweight individuals are at a much greater risk of suffering from high blood pressure – up to three times more likely – than those who maintain the ideal weight for their height.
Conventional hypertension treatments are all over the place. There are medical therapies and suggestions to exercise and eat healthier. But as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, less than one out of every three individuals suffering from hypertension actually avail of these treatments. Many would frown at the prohibitive prices of some of these treatments, while others would much rather do without the side effects.
How about a moderate reduction of weight through exercise? The popular (and most likely honest) reply would be, “I’m too lazy.” Others would argue “I don’t have time to exercise,” which, although valid, is probably just the professionally acceptable way of saying, “I’m too lazy.”
So what’s the deal?
I’ve tried some of the treatments mentioned above myself, and they all do carry a measure of effectiveness. Exercising, weight reduction, and a healthier diet lowers the blood pressure considerably – even a 10-pound reduction of body weight will show significant improvements.
Still, not all of us are willing to part with the little joys in life. That’s where my Natural Blood Pressure Exercise Program comes in.
My exercises don’t involve long hours or vigorous physical activity – actually, they don’t even involve any weight loss. Instead, they effectively lower blood pressure by clearing the body of nerve tension and emotional stress.
And all it requires is a conviction to spend a few minutes each week to do the exercises.
These exercises helped me control my hypertension better than any other treatment I’ve tried before. The link to the program can be found on the upper-right-hand side of this website. Or simple click here to find the Natural Blood Pressure Exercise Program…
Though it wouldn’t hurt to do something as simple as my exercises and shed a few pounds at the same time, would it?
Right now, I’m working on a new weight-loss method that doesn’t require any active workouts or drastic diet change – only simple exercises that anyone can do. I’m looking forward to presenting it to you very soon – I’m hoping to finish everything by January 2008.
Stay tuned.
Warm regards,
Christian Goodman
