| Yoga for high blood pressure | | 2008-08-10 23:09:00 | | Yoga is an ancient practice with its foundation built on the joining of the body, mind and spirit. To heal one is to heal all. Yoga uses a variety of stretching positions to align, center and ground the physical body while allowing the mind to achieve balance and the spirit to be up lifted and lightened. Yoga has been used for hundreds of years to treat many diseases and conditions. Yoga can and has resulted in a lower blood pressure for many individuals. The benefit of yoga's healing powers lies within the combining of all three components of the body, mind and spirit. When they are all in sync with one another, they become one entity instead of three separate ones. Allowing for healing to be received and accepted.

| Many Women Struggle With Uncontrolled Blood Pressure | | 2008-07-16 08:54:00 | | (HealthDay News) -- Nearly one in three Americans suffers from high blood pressure -- more than 73 million adults.But half of them -- women -- face unique challenges in controlling their blood pressure.For instance, women with high blood pressure are more likely to be obese and have high cholesterol levels. They're also less likely than men to meet target goals for their blood pressure. And they're also less likely than men to receive medications such as aspirin, blood pressure-lowering drugs or cholesterol-lowering drugs, compared to men, recent research found.These findings add greater urgency to the American Heart Association's ongoing "Go Red for Women" campaign, which seeks to change the perception that high blood pressure and heart disease are "male" health threats.Most people don't know that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of American women -- as well as men.

| Drug-Resistant High Blood Pressure on the Rise | | 2008-06-27 21:05:34 | | By BRENDA GOODMAN High blood pressure, the most commonly diagnosed condition in the United States, is becoming increasingly resistant to drugs that lower it, according to a panel of experts assembled by the American Heart Association. “It’s becoming more difficult to treat and it’s requiring more and more medications to do so,” said the panel chairman, Dr. David A. Calhoun, a hypertension specialist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The problem is not that the medications have stopped working, said the report, published this month in the journal Hypertension. Instead, many blood-pressure patients are sicker to begin with and require more drugs, at greater dosages, to manage their conditions. The doctors say this is especially worrisome because recent surveys estimate that one in three Americans have hypertension, an underlying cause of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease and heart failure.

| Heart Health: Noise Affects Blood Pressure | | 2008-05-28 10:06:52 | | One of the major risk factors for heart disease has always been hypertension (having high blood pressure). It affects millions of people over fifty. A recent study brought up a surprising fact -- chronic exposure to noise can significantly raise your blood pressure and increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.What’s that you say? "I can’t hear you over the traffic, or that airplane overhead! Maybe it’s the ambient noise in the factory, or the loud music blaring from my earphones hour after hour!"It appears that it doesn’t matter what the source of the noise is, or even if you’re awake or asleep at the time. It can even be the loud snoring of a spouse beside you all night. Continuous exposure to loud sounds of any variety eventually leads to chronic elevations of BP, making you more prone to suffering a heart attack or stroke. We never get used to loud sounds and our bodies silently react every time.Younger people (25-44 years old) are affected by noise exposure even more | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

| High Blood Pressure Readings Not What They Seem | | 2008-04-12 00:12:04 | | Systolic blood pressure, the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of the left ventricle of the heart, is the most important factor in predicting mortality risk for heart failure patients. Systolic blood pressure is typically the first number in a blood pressure reading; for example, 120 when the blood pressure is reported as 120/80.Heart failure patients with high systolic blood pressures had lower death rates; those with low systolic pressures may have a more advanced disease and a poorer prognosis. Mortality rates were more than four times higher for those with systolic pressures of less than 120, in comparison to those who had pressure over 161.When the heart is healthy it will work harder to push the same volumn of blood through the 66,000 miles of blood vessels when the blood is over-acidic and sticky - this causes the systolic rate to go up. To lower the blood pressure with acidic drugs can lead to the very thing you are trying to prevent - a heart attack.Blood pressure n | | By: Articles of health | | |

Although this doesn't sound like much, it could add up to about 15 percent reduction in risk for cardiovascular disease.2. Spinach3. Unsalted sunflower seeds4. Beans (black, white, navy, lima, pinto, kidney)Spinach, unsalted sunflower seeds and beans are each loaded with magnesium, a key ingredient for lowering and maintaining blood pressure levels. These three foods also provide a hearty dose of potassium - double bonus (see below).5. Baked white potato6. Banana7. SoybeansThese three foods provide ample potassium. Your blood levels of potassium and sodium are inextricably linked. When potassium is low, the body retains sodium (and too much sodium raises blood pressure).When potassium is high, the body gets rid of sodium. Eating potassium-rich foods is important for maintaining a healthy balance of both minerals, and, by extension, for keepi | | By: HealthyBodySoul | | |

| Does Coffee Increase High Blood Pressure? | | 2007-11-12 23:02:10 | | A recent Finnish study followed over 24,000 citizens with no prior history of hypertension or high blood pressure for thirteen years to attempt to find a causal link between high blood pressure and coffee. The ages of the participants were between 25 and 64 years old. Also required was that they had no history of hypertension drug use and no history of stroke or heart disease.The results of the study were inconclusive leaving it an open question as to how much coffee drinking affects hypertension.During the course of the study, 2500 participants, or approximately 10%, began taking some type of anti hypertension drug. Previous studies have shown that roughly 19% of non-coffee drinkers developed high blood pressure during the time period of the study. What's unknown is how many of the participants developed high blood pressure but are either unaware of it or not taking medication for it.Part of the questionnaire that participants were asked to complete focused on how many cups of coffee | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

| A Study on Restless Legs and Blood Pressure | | 2007-10-02 22:15:36 | | Restless legs syndrome is an odd, yet common disorder that causes people to continually move their legs, especially at night when they're trying to fall asleep.As if that wasn't bad enough, now there's new research that shows it may increase one's blood pressure and overall risk for cardiovascular disease.This is a neurological problem, sort of in the same family as Parkinson's.But this latest research does indeed suggest a spill-over effect on the cardiovascular system.Helen Catlin is a nurse who can tell you first hand what being a patient with restless legs syndrome is like.Patients with RLS may report an almost irresistible urge to move the legs.The sensations usually are worse during inactivity.It would bother me at night, sometimes I would have trouble going to sleep or sometimes it would wake me up at night, it would be a sensation of not pain, but enough discomfort that you would have to move, an ache a real ache that would only be relieved by moving your legs, says Helen. | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

| Reducing Blood Pressure Without Medication | | 2007-05-20 11:02:34 | | Once again I am seeing the results of living Healthy in a reduction in Blood Pressure. I have just finished my third week of a eating live style change (diet) that is focused on weight loss, and changing my blood chemistry. As mentioned earlier I have high cholesterol, triglycerides, am pre-diabetic and my blood pressure has crept up beyond acceptable limits. My goal through a change in my eating habits is to change each of these problem areas and bring them back into control. In addition I have added mild forms of exercise back into my life. Walking the dog, hikes in the mountains and along the local rivers. I have cut way back on alcohol use and after three weeks am seeing the results. I take my blood pressure first thing in the morning to keep the time consistent, and also before the stress of the day starts to build. In three weeks I have seen a drop in 15 points systolic and 10 points diastolic. I am almost back in the acceptable range in both categories. This is quicker and beyond what I expected. I am living proof that eating right and staying active can make a difference. My goal is to continue with the change in my eating habits indefinitely and to add intensity to my exercise over time. What I am going for is something that I can sustain the rest of my life and right now working out at the gym 5 days a week is not sustainable, but brisk walks are. It is worth the changes in diet and lifestyle to know I am becoming healthier day by day. My 44th birthday is three weeks away. My plan is that on my 45th birthday I will be 45 pounds lighter, that my blood chemistry will be in line, and that my blood pressure will be controlled naturally. It is so worth the battle. | | By: One Man's Battle | | |

| Blood Pressure - What to Do | | 2007-05-20 11:02:34 | | For years I watched my dad struggle with High Blood Pressure. Expensive medications, attempts to be physically active, moodiness, where all apart of his life as a result of his elevated Blood Pressure. I remember as a kid vowing to never get it. Fast forward 30 years. I am now 43, and have been told by my doctor I have High Blood Pressure. Research would say that those who are over weight or obese, those who are inactive, those who have poor diets, high in salt and cholesterol, are at increased risk for High Blood Pressure. Experts differ on what is High Blood Pressure. Some say anything 0ver 120/88, yet others say 140/90. All I know is that I have it. So not wanting to go on medications I have been reading on what can reduce Blood Pressure, and while each of us respond differently to these ideas, they are worth trying" Lose that weight - I realized through reading that I fall into the obese range. My first step to lose weight. Because I also was told I am pre-diabetic my diet needed to consider this as well. I have landed on the South Beach Diet to get me going. Get Active - Not ready to train for a marathon yet, but I do realize I need to get moving. I have started to walk and am increasing my pace. My goal is 30 minutes 5 times a week. When I get to 200lbs I will go back to running. Limit Alcohol - Everything I read says this can be an issue. A glass of wine each day is ok, but more than that your risking it. Watch the salt and other BP problem foods - Diet is taking care of that one. Monitor your Stress in Life - One reason I take walks is to reduce my stress and get where I can think. I also have calming music on in my office on most days. Don't completely avoid medications- I would rather take pills than wind up in the hospital. The reality is the list above is a part of Healthy Living. I am finding that my Blood Pressure, Weight, Pre-diabetes, and other issues are really the by pr | | By: One Man's Battle | | |

| Lower Blood Pressure Through Food | | 2007-05-20 11:02:34 | | Struggling with lowering High Blood Pressure? The DASH approach might be for you. DASH is a simple acronym for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. I came across it recently in a Long Term Care Nursing Facility. This approach has been shown to help prevent, or help reduce, High Blood Pressure. It is very similar to what is found in the South Beach Diet I am on. The DASH approach is big on vegetables and fruits, encourages low fat milk and cheeses, watches or limits foods regarding saturated fat and cholesterol, and stresses a reduction in salt and sodium. Dash for Health is a Web Site that will create menus and assist you in getting started on this diet. The creators of the diet claim you will see reductions in your blood pressure in just 14 days. It is worth taking a look at, if you are looking for natural ways to reduce your blood pressure. | | By: One Man's Battle | | |
