If you Have Hypertension – Stray from Sodium … Why?

If you have Hypertension, or if you’re blood Pressure is above 140/90 you are considered to have elevated Blood pressure.

In that case one no cost thing you can do, is outlined in this post.

This post is about You and Salt, it is about how salt affects your Blood Pressure.

The recommendation in this post is as follows:

If you have High Blood Pressure/Hypertension, it is a smart idea to kick the Salt Habit.

You can do this by gradually decreasing the salt you add to food.

Also consider preparing meals yourself, whenever possible, rather than always or Often eating out or always or ordering in.

This will allow you better control of your Salt intake and  blood pressure, as salt usually exacerbates the Hypertension problem if you already have High Blood Pressure..

There is usually more salt in ready – made foods, or foods prepared outside the home.
If you are serious about your Blood Pressure, and want to be more safe than sorry, I highly recommend, the small efforts mentioned above to avoid Hypertension and improve Blood Pressure.

Straying from Sodium (Salt) will go a long way to better Health & Blood Pressure, and help your Body not retain excess water.

Do You know How Blood Pressure is Measured? What is Reading ##s are Optimal?

I thought it might be interesting to explain how Blood Pressure is masured…
Blood pressure which is measured in two ways, is the force that which pumps blood.

One measure refers to ‘Systolic’ Pressure, which means, or denotes Blood Pressure during heart contractions.

The other measure is referred to and known as ‘Diastolic’ Pressure, and it is the force created by the heart’s pumping blood against arteries, however this is at a resting stage in between beats..

Blood Pressure is expressed as/in this fashion, ‘Systolic Pressure’ over ‘Diastolic’ Pressure.
An Optimal Blood Pressure would be 120/80 as an example, naturally there is a “normal” range.
However a ‘Systolic’ Blood Pressure of 140/ over a ‘Diastolic’ Pressure of /80 or above is considered and classified as Hypertension.

Though High Blood Pressure/Hypertension is cause for concern, Lifestyle changes can often help to control this condition, and keep Hypertension at Bay.
Watch what you eat, is a good first step in a healthy Blood Pressure Practice.
More exploration and information about Healthy Practices for Healthy Blood Pressure in future posts.

Be Well,

One in 4 , even 1in 3 Americans have High Blood Pressure.

Every 33 Seconds someone dies of Cardiovascular Disease, in the U.S.

High Blood Pressure is often a precursor to Heart Disease.

The Sad and frightening statistics indicate that 30% of Americans have Hypertension, and over 1/3 of Americans have Hypertension and don’t even know they have it.

While extreme High Blood Pressure is often treated with Medication, some natural remedies can also lower High Blood Pressure.

We will explore some of those Remedies for Natural Hypertension Cure, as well as discuss how High Blood Pressure is measured in next Post.

Stay tuned.

In any game, or to win in any endeavor one must know the goal, the game, the plan…
In the endeavor of having a healthy Blood Pressure, you must know where you stand, to know if what you are doing is in the right direction, or are you headed for Hypertension disaster? 

So what is your first step?

If you haven’t had your blood pressure checked recently, make an appointment ASAP with your doctor or a clinic, and have your Blood Pressure taken. 

It is fast, easy, takes but a few minutes for a qualified health practitioner to get a Blood Pressure reading.

That is what you need to know, you need to know where you are now.

That is the first step.

A train needs to know it’s course, and we the people, you and me need to know, at best daily (but check with your doctor, or health practitioner, for your situation) what our blood pressure reading is so we can better control our blood pressure and avert Hypertension. 
I will write soon about what is high blood pressure/Hypertension and explore further what there is to know about Hypertension and what you can do to prevent or ‘cure’ it, a life long Practice.

Be back shortly,

My Wake Up Call – Is My Gift to You…

 Hello, You may wonder why I’ve chosen to write about Hypertension, why it’s a passion and a Mission? 

Simply put, I have had my blinders on, oblivious for many years, but nature calls and I bust respond. 

 I must respond by declaring my priorities and overall health has always been, but as I get older, it becomes paramount to act on my priorities and take charge of my well being with health in the area of Hypertension and many other areas since all of me is related to all of life.

Hypertension to some degree, or it’s potential has been ‘around’ in my life for a very long time. 

I remember being told by a nurse practitioner or some health practitioner many years ago that I could have a stroke,  if I don’t watch my weight and my blood pressure level.

But honestly , it just didn’t compute, I was just too young (which is no excuse) but I just didn’t, did Not get it that I could die. 

I could die in an instant, and not even know what hit me!

Or be paralyzed on one side of my body or be unable to speak as I once had, etc. etc.

This is the power high blood pressure & hypertension can have in a life.

This is why I have started to blog about this subject. 

Only a week ago we lost a family member, who died suddenly and totally ‘unexpectedly’.

No one knows when or how they will leave this life, but luckily there are some markers along the way that can guide us.

the markers such as high blood pressure can point to the way our health is headed, just from looking at those markers.

A profile of Hypertension is a definite marker that must not be overlooked.

We will explore much information in the future months weeks and days to come, to unravel some of the mystery about Hypertension.

Information/knowledge will be your wealth, but taking action & implementing on the information can be your weapon.

Anything written in these pages is only intended as helpful Hypertension Information, and not Intended as a substitute to qualified medical advice.

So please consult with a qualified medical person about Hypertension or any other medical condition such as a doctor.

Will be in touch soon,

Your friend in fight,
