The Silent Killer Exposed

http://www.thesilentkillerexposed.com

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is not something to be

taken lightly. It is a serious disease the cause of which is

unknown. One fact health care professionals do know is that

left untreated, high blood pressure over time can lead to

serious heart disease and other vascular troubles, even death.

Blood pressure medications come in a wide range of formulas and

dosages; each aimed at reducing the pressure going through the

blood vessels either as the heart pumps blood or relaxes. Some

medications strengthen the blood vessels while others thin the

blood in an effort to reduce the strain. Trial and error is

usually a doctor’s only course of action when determining which

combination of drugs and treatments will benefit a specific

patient. The problem with this approach is the dangerous side

effects, which often accompany these medications.

There is however some good news about hypertension! There are

steps you can take today that will begin to lower your blood

pressure almost immediately. Overtime, the result is a sustained

healthy blood pressure reading that supports your blood vessels

and heart for years to come.

Start with these 5 easy lifestyle changes. Always consult with

your doctor before trying anything new with your health regime,

and never go off of any medication without the advice of your

doctor. Here is a list that any doctor can approve of:

1. Drink Water. Yes, water is a way to cleanse and refresh

every part of the body, even your blood vessels. Drink 8-10

glasses each day to flush out excess salt and toxins that make

their way into the blood stream. You can use water to replace

some drinks containing caffeine that temporarily raise blood

pressure.

2. Stop Smoking. If you are a long time smoker, you know how it

affects your breathing. What you may not realize is its impact

on your blood pressure. If you can’t quit completely, then cut

down. Even a 50% reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked

each week can help.

3. Exercise. A cardiovascular workout strengthens the heart.

This is important because high blood pressure over time puts

added strain on the heart. Just 20 minutes, 3 times per week of

a sustained increase in heart rate will aid in lowering blood

pressure.

4. Eat Right. If you are eating better and exercising, a nice

by-product will be weight loss. By reducing your weight by 10%,

you can significantly lower blood pressure. A diet that includes

the freshest fruits and vegetables will support healthy blood

pressure. Reduce or eliminate salt intake, and especially beware

of “hidden” sodium found abundantly in pre-packaged convenience

foods.

5. Relax. Many people have a temporary raise in blood pressure

when they are under stress. If you have high blood pressure

because you are over weight or have a family history of

hypertension, then stress raises it that much more. Try

taking a walk, meditating or listening to relaxing music to

take the edge off a stressful day. Make time for decompressing

each and every day.
