Reduce blood pressure
by Christian Goodman
While many people are inherently at risk for high blood press, it can happen to any person.
Age does not necessarily deter high blood pressure - there are circumstances in which very young people experience it. Race provides no protection from it either.
There are those who don’t “eat right”, never exercise and carry extra weight who have desired blood pressure readings. And then there are those who seem to do everything right, have desirable weight and yet have out of sight readings.
Monitoring blood pressure is something that everyone needs to take seriously - since there is just no guarantee that any one person will not get it.
One reading should not necessarily be cause for panic. A number of things need to be considered such as what you were doing just prior to having your blood pressure reading taken.
Having your blood pressure taken at a time when you are experiencing pain can result in higher than normal readings.
A reading should be taken after being calm for several minutes. In addition, don’t chug down a caffinated beverage prior to the reading.
If several readings at different times are abnormally high, then it’s time to address the situation. A number of different contributers may be at play, one of which is carrying too much weight.
Increasing physical activity and shedding even a few pounds can help get hypertension back toward the normal range.
Another key factor in reducing the burden of high blood pressure is through a drastic reduction of salt (sodium) intake. Processed and fast foods are loaded with excess sodium.
Many foods we normally eat out of convenience or habit can be contributing to hypertension.
Perhaps the most drastic improvement in a person’s blood pressure reading can come from simple relaxation. Stress is thought to be one of the primary contributing factors in hypertension.
Letting the body and the mind take a rest will do wonders for you. Learn how to relax more often. Many reports indicate that yoga is an excellent way to train the body to take a break.
Regardless of the path you choose, controlling your weight, reducing salt intake, and learning to relax will go a long way in giving you blood pressure you can live with!
