But what is blood pressure? Its something everyone has and it’s something that we can’t do without. As blood is pumped through your body's arteries, it creates force against the inside walls of your blood vessels. The amount of blood the heart pumps and the resistance of the arteries determines your blood pressure. A "silent killer," ………..High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, but yet it can lead to serious and even life-threatening problems if left untreated. The good news is that there are ways to manage hypertension. Why me, why now?

There are no easy answers when it comes to hypertension. Reducing high blood pressure requires deliberate changes in lifestyle and, many times , medical intervention. Looking for a non-pharmacological approach to reduce high blood pressure, researchers from several leading medical centers have developed a promising diet. The DASH Diet encourages specific food-groups for the purpose of lowering total blood pressure while, at the same time, reducing the risks of other chronic diseases. In fact, according to a recent review published in a supplement to the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, "... an important consideration in designing the DASH combination diet was that it be fully compatible with diets recommended for prevention of cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease."

   Extractions: Heart Infocenter Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) Food/Diet Therapy for Hypertension Research has shown that following a healthy eating plan can both reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure and lower an already elevated blood pressure. Vegetarian Diet Vegetarians, in general, have lower blood pressure levels and a lower incidence of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Experts postulate that a typical vegetarian's diet contains more potassium, complex carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fat, fiber, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin A, all of which may have a favorable influence on blood pressure. Fiber A high-fiber diet has been shown to be effective in preventing and treating many forms of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension. The types of dietary fiber is important. Of the greatest benefit to hypertension are the water soluble gel-forming fibers such as oat bran, apple pectin, psyllium seeds, and guar gum. These fibers, in addition to be of benefit against hypertension, are also useful to reduce cholesterol levels, promote weight loss, chelate out heavy metals, etc. Take one to three tablespoons of herbal bulking formula containing such things as oat fiber, guar gum, apple pectin, gum karaya, psyllium seed, dandelion root powder, ginger root powder, fenugreek seed powder and fennel seed powder.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) It only takes 60 to 90 minutes of exercise a week to significantly lower blood pressure, Japanese researchers reported on Thursday. That amount of aerobic exercise spread out over a week reduced systolic blood pressure the top number on a blood pressure reading an average of 12 points and the lower or diastolic reading by 8 points, the researchers found. Doctors consider optimal blood pressure to be 120/80 or lower. "This study confirms the importance of exercise," Dr. Michael Weber, an editor at the American Journal of Hypertension, which published the study, said in a statement. "The investigators found a person does not have to spend great amounts of time working out." Many guidelines currently call for anywhere between half an hour and an hour of moderate exercise on most days of the week to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity.

    Extractions: Heart Infocenter Welcome to Dr. George Jacob Heart Infocenter in Holisticonline.com! The heart and vascular system is one of the largest and most important body systems. The cardiovascular system's primary functions are to deliver oxygen and vital nutrition to cells throughout the body and to aid in the removal of cellular waste products. Heart disease and stroke are the number-one and number-three killers in the United States and in most of the Western World. These two conditions are responsible for about forty- three percent of all deaths in the United States. They are often referred to as "silent killers" because the first symptom or sign in many cases is a fatal event. There are numerous distinct disorders that relate to heart. These include arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, angina, heart attack, and heart failure, arrhythmias, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, heart murmurs, rheumatic heart disease, valvular disease, mitral valve prolapse and high blood pressure or hypertension. Diet and lifestyle changes are essential in treating heart problems. Important among them are getting more exercise and giving up smoking. According to complementary practitioners, proper functioning of the heart, also depends on the health and harmonious workings of other organs, such as the liver and kidneys.

    Extractions: Finds New NHLBI-Funded Study An eating plan known to lower blood pressure also significantly lowers blood cholesterol levels, according to results of a study supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health. Scientists have found that the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet significantly reduces the levels of total cholesterol and of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol. Compared to those on a control diet, which reflected a typical American's eating habits, individuals on the DASH eating plan reduced on average their levels of total cholesterol by 13.7 mg/dL or 7.3 percent, and their levels of LDL cholesterol by 10.7 mg/dL or 9 percent. The findings are published in the July 2001 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition "Studies have proven the DASH diet to be beneficial for individuals with high blood pressure or those wishing to prevent high blood pressure. These latest findings provide strong evidence that individuals with high blood cholesterol can also benefit significantly from this eating plan," commented NHLBI director Dr. Claude Lenfant. "Physicians and their patients with heart disease can add the DASH diet to the armament of tools known to help lower a person's risk of coronary heart disease."

Yet carrying extra pounds can have a significant impact on health and self-esteem. As a consequence, there is an enormous market for dietary supplements and drugs which can help people lose weight. In the late 1990's, the drugs known as Fen Phen, Redux, and Pondimin were frequently prescribed to assist with weight loss. In 1996, approximately 18 million prescriptions were written by U.S. doctors for Fen Phen. "Fen Phen" refers to the simultaneous prescription of fenfluramine (Fen...) and phentermine (Phen...). As many as twenty percent of people who took those drugs suffered heart damage, including: Damaged Heart Valves - The drugs Fen Phen and Redux are associated with damage to the heart's aortic and mitral valves; and

This fact makes hypertension one of our primary targets in the campaign to improve health and wellness. Poorly controlled hypertension can lead to a variety of serious health problems including strokes, heart disease and kidney failure. African Americans suffer from the complications of hypertension at alarmingly high rates. Often, we do not receive treatment until the blood pressure has been elevated for many years and has already began to damage organs in the body. Compared to Whites, African Americans develop hypertension at an earlier age and are more prone to have substantially elevated pressures.

If you have hypertension, your doctor will most likely recommend that you cut back on salt, particularly if you're 45 or older. To find out whether your blood pressure will respond to a low-salt diet, try to get no more than 2,400 milligrams of sodium a day (just about the amount in one teaspoon of table salt) about half of what most people get. That includes the amount that is naturally in food as well as salt that has been added. If your blood pressure doesn't go down after two months, you probably aren't salt-sensitive and will need to find other ways to lower it.
