Hypertension – High Blood Pressure and 7 Ways to Reduce It
Hypertension – High Blood Pressure and 7 Ways to Reduce It ❤️ How to Avoid Heart Disease. Heart disease, which includes heart attacks and strokes, is the number one killer in the world. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition where the heart is over-working to pump blood. If left untreated, this condition can lead to heart disease.
There are two types of hypertension, as follows:
1. Primary Hypertension:
Primary hypertension is the most common type of hypertension and makes up 90-95% of hypertensive cases.
It’s widely known to be caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as a lack of exercise and a poor diet made of processed and ultra-processed food.
2. Secondary Hypertension:
Secondary hypertension consists of the remaining 5-10% and is a side-effect of a major disorder of the arteries, kidneys, or hormonal imbalances of the endocrine glands.
The Sequence of Events:
(1) Eating food lacking in natural nutrients, minerals, and vitamins, coupled with a lack of regular exercise, is an unhealthy lifestyle.
(2) An unhealthy lifestyle leads to obesity and type-2 diabetes and other conditions, which leads to developing hypertension.
(3) Other conditions like renal diseases, Cushing’s syndrome, and thyroid disorders also lead to developing hypertension.
(4) Pregnancy, stress, a high salt diet, a lack of sleep, and the side effects of certain medications (which are of obvious concern) also lead to hypertension.
Most of these symptoms and underlying conditions are underpinned by the “silent killer” known as chronic inflammation.
High blood pressure or hypertension can be explained as:
(1) An asymptomatic condition, which means people who have it are likely to not experience any symptoms at all.
(2) A person may be unaware that high blood pressure is damaging their body until it reaches its most severe state, leading to stroke or heart attack.
(3) The danger of hypertension is not the condition itself but the lack of symptoms.
(4) It can only be diagnosed by a health check-up or worse, by experiencing a heart attack or stroke.
(5) Waiting for the symptoms to occur is putting your life at serious risk.
(6) “Knowing” is the first step in treating and managing hypertension.
Here are 7 natural ways to lower your blood pressure:
#1. Garlic:
Garlic…contains an active substance called allicin, that thins the blood and lowers blood pressure, when enough is included in the daily diet.
#2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
Oily fish, such as wild salmon, anchovies, mackerel, and sardines, contain essential fatty acids, called Omega-3, and antioxidant polyphenols - a powerful combination widely known to benefit the heart.
#3. Reduce Caffeine:
Caffeine is a hyperactive drug that causes the heart to pump blood faster and may result in higher blood pressure.
#4. Eliminate Salt:
Reduce salt intake in the diet.
There have been studies that show the correlation between high blood pressure and high salt intake.
#5. Seasonal and Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.
Replace processed and ultra-processed foods from your diet, as these contain unhealthy fats and carbohydrates and increase the risk of obesity and type-2 diabetes (which are known to raise blood pressure levels), with natural food full of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins.
#6. Avoid Nicotine and Alcohol.
Stop smoking, and drink alcohol in moderation, because a healthy diet and lifestyle will reduce the risk of developing hypertension, and help manage blood pressure.
#7. Regular Exercise.
This doesn’t have to be high-intensity training, but it does help to undertake walking, cycling, running, and swimming on a daily and weekly basis, depending on your age and ability.
Summary and Conclusion:
For many people, health and exercise are often at the bottom of their to-do list.
This in turn causes an increase in the number of people developing lifestyle diseases like hypertension, which can be easily avoided.
Being healthy or unhealthy is a lifestyle choice – what’s your choice?
