Editor: Candance Gabel, MS, RD, LD Associate State Nutrition Specialist, Family Nutrition Education Program What is Blood Pressure? Blood Pressure is the force of blood against the wall of the arteries. Systolic pressure is the pressure as the heart beats. Diastolic pressure is the pressure while the heart is at rest. Blood Pressure is written systolic over diastolic. For example, 110/75, 110 is the systolic pressure and 75 is the diastolic pressure. What is Hypertension? Hypertension is another term for High Blood Pressure. High Blood Pressure is diagnosed as a measure of 140/90 on three separate occasions. Why is High Blood Pressure Important?

Eating Healthily Reducing Salt Reducing Salt Salt is a major source of sodium, a mineral the body needs in only tiny amounts. Too much salt (sodium chloride) isn't good for anyone, but when someone has hypertension, it's even more important than ever to be careful about how much salt you eat. Why? It's simple: If there's too much salt in the food you eat, your body holds too much fluid (water). To pump the added fluid, the heart has to work harder. People with high blood pressure can't afford to put this extra strain on their hearts. When you eat less salt, your heart has less work to do. Too much salt can contribute to swelling and shortness of breath and cause weight gain, which is also a disadvantage for people with high blood pressure. Most people eat more sodium than they need. Many Americans take in nearly 6000 milligrams (mg) of sodium each day - that's equal to 3 teaspoons of salt. By contrast, the body only needs about 500 mg of sodium per day, or ¼ teaspoon of salt. The American Heart Association recommends a daily sodium intake of 2400 mg or less for the American population, and 2000 mg or less for people with heart failure.

Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Diet and Exercise Reverse Effects of Hypertension Diet and Exercise Reverse Effects of Hypertension Source: Tufts University August 8, 2002 It's clear that weight loss and exercise can help reduce blood pressure, but do they produce enough of a change to reverse physical changes to the cardiovascular system that increase disease risk? They may. A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine shows that moderate changes to eating and exercise habits produce measurable improvements in left ventricle parameters in hypertensive individuals. Lifestyle interventions Researchers from the University of North Carolina recruited 82 overweight, but otherwise healthy, adults with an average blood pressure of 140/93. Each was randomly assigned to one of three groups. The exercise group performed an aerobic activity (walking, jogging, biking) for 35 minutes, 3 or 4 times per week. The weight control group attended weekly behavior modification classes designed to teach lasting weight management strategies. The control group was wait-listed for treatment. Electrocardiograms performed at baseline and at the end of the study measured left ventricular mass, relative wall thickness, end diastolic dimension, posterior wall thickness, and septal thickness. Effect of weight loss and exercise Clinical implications Other studies have shown that medication-induced reductions in blood pressure result in improvements in left ventricular hypertrophy. These results, however, show that similar results can be achieved with weight loss and increased physical activity - the type of lifestyle changes that physicians are likely to recommend to their mildly hypertensive patients as a reasonable first line of treatment.

Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Diet and Exercise Help Keep High Blood Pressure in Check Diet and Exercise Help Keep High Blood Pressure in Check Source: Tufts University August 24, 2000 (Reviewed: December 13, 2002) Dieting and exercise are often the first treatments prescribed for people with mild or moderate high blood pressure (hypertension). A new study published in Archives of Internal Medicine provides further proof that that exercise, especially in combination with weight loss, can help keep high blood pressure under control. This study divided 133 sedentary, overweight men and women with mild hypertension into two groups. One group cycled, walked or jogged for 30 minutes, three to four times per week while following their usual diet. The second group followed the same exercise routine and also participated in an organized weight loss program. At the end of the six-month study, researchers found exercise alone significantly lowered blood pressure. Those that combined exercise and weight loss, though, showed an even greater reduction in blood pressure and lost an average of 7.8 kg (17 lbs) of excess weight. Among the latter group, 67% of those classified as mildly hypertensive at the start of the study had normal blood pressures after six months.

hypertension cholesterol diet health Statistically speaking, one out of every five people in the world has high cholesterol. Cholesterol, when levels build up in the arteries, can cause significant medical problems. Adopting a low cholesterol diet can help lower your levels to improve your health. What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a white crystalline substance found in animal tissues and various foods. It is synthesized by the liver and is important as a constituent of cell membranes. The cholesterol level in the bloodstream can influence the pathogenesis of certain conditions, such as the development of atherosclerotic plaque and coronary artery disease. Having a proper diet to combat the excessive buildup of cholesterol can greatly increase your live expectancy. There are many things you can do initially to begin reducing cholesterol levels in your system. First, start by eating fewer high fat, high cholesterol foods and paying closer attention to the intake of calories. If your cholesterol level is over two hundred, you should always consult your doctor in developing a solid low cholesterol diet to help bring your levels down to a healthy level. Knowing you have a cholesterol problem is the first step to begin reducing your levels and develop a good low cholesterol diet. Dieting can be difficult, but you don't have to always sacrifice taste and satisfaction while on a diet. Diet plans have come a long way in the past twenty years, with special attention being given by dieticians and chefs to develop great tasting and satisfying meals.

CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) Black adolescents who drink four cans of caffeinated sodas a day could be raising their risk of high blood pressure, according to a study published Monday. "This paper indicates that the concern about soda consumption in children and teens should not be limited to the fact that soft drinks add more calories to the diet," Margaret Savoca, nutritionist and postdoctoral fellow at the Medical College of Georgia and lead author on the study, said in a news release. "Caffeine consumption may also impact their blood pressure," she said. According to the report, the frequency of hypertension among youth is rising, and black adolescents have higher systolic blood pressures the top blood pressure number than white adolescents. Hypertension can lead to stroke, heart failure and kidney damage. "Caffeine is considered a preventable risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular disease," the study authors wrote, adding that it is estimated that 68 percent of boys and 62 percent of girls aged 12 to 17 drink at least one soft drink a day, with a lower number drinking coffee or tea

They were randomly assigned to consume a DASH diet or a control diet for three consecutive 30-day periods. During each of those 30-day periods, they had different levels of salt intake. People on the DASH diet excreted salt easier and in greater amounts and also had reduced blood pressure. The study also found the impact of the DASH diet decreased as the level of salt intake decreased.

Search this site: Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) in Clinical Practice: A Primary Care Experience Kathryn M. Kolasa, Ph.D., R.D., L.D.N. Department of Family Medicine, East Carolina University, School of Medicine, Greenville, North Carolina, USA Summary Background: The Sixth Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure placed increased emphasis on lifestyle modification for the prevention and management of hypertension. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and low-fat dairy foods, with reduced saturated and total fats, was found in clinical trials to lower blood pressure substantially and significantly. The DASH diet appears appropriate for use in the primary care setting, although it is unknown whether results will mirror those found in clinical trial. Methods: A review of the literature of successful physician-based dietary interventions and of the Stages of Change model as it applies to dietary behavior was completed. Some changes needed to adapt the DASH diet to the outpatient family practice setting were identified and implemented among a predominantly non-Caucasian (56%), female (61%) population. The most common concerns and diagnoses among this population are essential hypertension, diabetes, and general medical examination. Results: Conclusions: The DASH diet can be used successfully by patients in the primary care setting to lower blood pressure. The challenge of incorporating this intervention into primary care by more practitioners remains. The challenges for the patient and provider to sustain lifestyle modifications are formidable and also continuing.

Salt and Hypertension One of salt's major functions is to regulate blood volume and pressure including the flexibility of the blood vessels. The human heart is a big pump. When it contracts, it forces blood through the arteries of the circulatory system; that pressure is "systolic," the "top" number. Between heartbeats, the heart relaxes. Pressure measured between heartbeats is "diastolic," the "bottom" number. When blood volume increases or the blood vessel walls don't expand enough, blood pressure increases. Normal blood pressure is less than 130/85 according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. In a population, blood pressures are a good indicator of the incidence of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. As long ago as 2,000 B.C. when the famous Chinese "Yellow Emperor" Huang Ti recorded salt's association with a "hardened pulse," we have known of a relationship between salt and blood pressure. Nor is the fact that manipulating sodium intake can change blood pressure in sensitive individuals, those termed "
