Prevent Heart Attack

March 9th, 2010

It’s no surprise to my friends and family that I pride myself on living a healthy lifestyle.  This is why, I suppose only half-joking, that they refer to my daily Grande coffee from Starbucks as my “vice.”

A friend recently told me to “watch out,” while at Starbucks the other day as I drank my coffee because her doctor told her that coffee can contribute to high blood pressure, or hypertention. And high blood pressure will not prevent heart attack.

Watch out?  My friend was telling me this quite literally, as she was exhaling cigarette smoke.  Did her doctor mention that this behavior is far more than a contributor to high blood pressure. Will smoking cure hypertension?

Quite likely, my friend’s doctor stressed to her that her weight and smoking habits were contributing to her high blood pressure.  Why then did he mention coffee?

As of this post, there have been no studies to support evidence that there is a link between drinking coffee and hypertention.

What has been documented is that coffee can increase blood pressure, although, only slightly AND only temporarily.

These studies also show that this increase in blood pressure goes away over time.

More recent studies have tried to focus on behaviors or habits associated with coffee – coffee and cigarettes and coffee and weight gain.  People do tend to do both together.  Does this mean coffee causes high blood pressure?

Does this mean that coffee causes hypertention?  No – it is not coffee’s fault that some people cannot drink a cup of coffee without partnering it with cigarettes and/or over eating.

While I’m always excited to read about amazing results from people who’ve given up coffee and reduced their blood pressure, I’m even more interested in knowing what other bad behaviors where dropped when these people gave up coffee.

I believe moderation truly is the key as far as coffee (and well, everything) is concerned.  I love my coffee and I drink one cup of great coffee every day.

If you are suffering from hypertension, I’d like to recommend my High Blood Pressure Program.  This is a completely natural remedy and while simple, it has proven, amazing results.

If you suffer from being overweight as well, I would suggest my Weight Loss Breeze Program.

Natural Blood Pressure

March 5th, 2010

I’ve spoken with many people who suffer from high blood pressure (hypertension.) However, I also hear from people who suffer from low blood pressure (hypotension.) Often times these people are in the same family. It is always better to have natural blood pressure.

In fact, some people have even remarked that they only WISH they suffered from low blood pressure instead of struggling with hypertension. Afterall, if the heart must not be struggling. These days people are struggling to reduce blood pressure.

The fact is, normalized blood pressure is what we need to obtain.

In the case of low blood pressure, serious damage can occur as inadequate oxygen flow is distributed to vital organs.

A number symptoms can be present as well.

Sufferers complain of irregular heart beat, feeling “confused” and even fainting.

This is significant as it is generally those and other symptoms that tend to lead to the low pressure diagnosis. High blood pressure on the other hand is determined by the actual readings.

Both both high and low blood pressure require monitoring and awareness.

One recommendation for low blood pressure sufferers is to never abstain from breakfast. Starting the day without sufficient energy can take a toll on someone who desperately needs those nutrients. As we all know, this is good advise anyway.

Avoiding positions that further constrict blood flow can also help. For instance, sitting with ankles gently crossed or straight ahead is far better than crossing the legs at the knees.

My High Blood Pressure Program can also make a huge difference. It actually normalizes blood pressure, which is why it can be utilized by both high and low blood pressure sufferers.

You can achieve desired results quickly by using the few basic exercises.

Hypertension Remedies

February 26th, 2010

Everywhere I go I see women who are going about their daily routines. Some of these women though, are also negotiating their days while carrying a child or children who are not yet born.

Some women however, are afflicted with complications such as Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. Often times this condition does not allow the mother to continue many or most daily activities. But there are some hypertension remedies available

Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) also sometimes referred to as preeclampsia or toxemia occurs in about 5 to 10 percent of pregnancies. Chronic hypertension varies from PIH in that it is normally present prior to pregnancy.

Both conditions, however, can pose serious health threats to both mother and baby. There are also cases of gestational high blood pressure which do not necessarily pose the same risks, but can increase the chances of the mother later developing PIH. So it is better to lower blood pressure. Read the rest of this entry »

Lower Blood Pressure

February 25th, 2010

Certain people may be predisposed to hypertension. But it can be a problem for anyone.

High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) knows no racial barriers. Neither is age a barrier as there have been cases of high blood pressure in the very young as well as the very old. A good diet is the only option lower blood pressure.

There is no perfect profile for a person who definitely does or does not have high blood pressure. Think of cases in which someone who was extremely fit actually died of a stroke or heart attack – as a result of hypertension. On the other hand, there are people who would seemingly be excellent candidates – perhaps very overweight and out of shape who posess normal natural blood pressure numbers.

It is a very non-discriminating disease and everyone should apply caution by keeping a frequent check on their blood pressure. Read the rest of this entry »

Cure Hypertension

February 15th, 2010

More and more people are becoming victims of hypertension in the last thirty years or so.

The rise in issues relating to high blood pressure cannot be attributed to genes, because our genes have not changed at all. There are several blood pressure causes

Another reason being used for the increase in hypertension is our change in diet.  However, this can not be the entire cause either. Eating a healthy diet may cure hypertension

Cure High Blood Pressure Naturally

February 4th, 2010

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 main factor for this is that exercising is being done less and less by the average american, experts say. And as household income increases, so does the consumption of unhealthy foods.

And while schools are doing their share in combating this problem by requiring students to take up Physical Education or JROTC, the growing number of obese children proves that we need to do more.

It’s a well-known fact that the risk of hypertension is directy related to one’s weight. If more weight is being carried by the body, more work is being done by the heart to counteract it. As time passes, the heart grows larger and weaker.

Hardening of the arteries may also happen, which impedes the blood from circulating around the body.

A Blood pressure reading of over 120/80 mm Hg is an indication of hypertension. An individual with hypertension is more likely to suffer heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, dementia, blindness, and impotence. One should try to cure high blood pressure naturally.

Studies indicate that overweight individuals are three times more likely to suffer from high blood pressure than those who are healthy. People who are obese should reduce weight to fight high blood pressure. Read the rest of this entry »

Hypertension Medications

February 2nd, 2010

Even medical people who have researched blood pressure for decades admit that the cause is unknown for about 95% of high blood pressure problems and you could have it without even knowing, even if you’re otherwise healthy. For this reason it’s important that you know what your blood pressure is and have it checked on a regular basis to keep blood pressure down.

As you know, smoking and coffee causes a temporary rise in your blood pressure, so don’t smoke or drink coffee for at least thirty minutes before you have your blood pressure taken. If you’re a smoker, you should know that you have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure than a non-smoker.

Other reasons that increase your risk include high cholesterol, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, or other medical conditions, or if you’re over the age of 60, or if you are of menopausal age. When you check your blood pressure, it is normal that there will be fluctuations, and a one time high reading doesn’t necessarily mean you have hypertension. Be alarmed when those readings are consistently high, because that is the time when a diagnosis is made. The hypertension medications that you are taking may also contribute to the rise in your blood pressure. Read the rest of this entry »

Reduce Blood Pressure

January 28th, 2010

Have you been curious about those two numbers in your blood pressure reading? It’s amazing that doctors emphasize the importance of those numbers, while we don’t have a clue as to what they mean.

These numbers symbolize how hard your blood is pushing against the walls of your arteries. Imagine how water builds up in a hose until it damages it, that’s how your blood can also damage your arteries and make you more prone to strokes and cardiac arrest. It always better to reduce blood pressure.

A blood pressure reading can look like this: 120/80 mmHg. The first number represents the systolic blood pressure, which is the pressure your blood exerts on your arteries when your heart beats. The second number represents the diastolic blood pressure, which is your blood pressure when your heart rests between beats. Maintaining a normal blood pressure will prevent stroke.
