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 weight than they should, a sharp increase from not quite 5% only a few decades ago.
Experts say the main reason for this is that exercising is being done less and less by the average American. And as household income increases, so does the intake of unhealthy foods.
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 hoped for.
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.
Arteries may also harden, hampering the circulation of blood through out the body.
A blood pressure reading of over 120/80 mm Hg is an indication of hypertension. A personl with hypertension is more likely to suffer heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, dementia, blindness, and impotence.
Studies show that overweight individuals are three times more likely to suffer from high blood pressure than those who are not.
Conventional hypertension treatments, such as medical therapies that suggestion how to exercise and eat healthier, are found a dime a dozen. But as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, no one really makes use of these treatments.
Some of these treatments are expensive, while others have side effects which people would much rather do without.
You can then say they can exercise to reduce weight right? We all know that the most common reply would be, “I’m too lazy”, or “I don’t have time to exercise”, which just sounds better than “I’m too lazy.”
So what’s the deal?
I’ve tried some of the treatments mentioned above, like exercise, weight reduction, and healthier diet, and have found that they are effective in lowering blood pressure. Significant improvements can be seen even with just a 10-pound reduction in body weight.
However, we are unwilling to give up those things that we enjoy. That is why I developed the Natural Blood Pressure Exercise Program.
My exercises don’t involve long hours or vigorous physical activity – actually, they don’t even involve any weight loss. Instead, they in effect lower blood pressure by clearing the body of nerve tension and emotional stress.
Only a few minutes each week is needed to do the program.
I am much healthier and my hypertension is better controlled by doing these exercises than the other treatments I’ve tried before. Please click on the link found at the upper-right-hand side of this website.
By doing the exercises, not only will you lower your blood pressure, you may even lose a few pounds. Not bad right?
