Sadly, different studies have shown that almost half of Americans today are overweight. And this statistic is not just limited to the adults. Almost 14% of Children now are overweight, compared to 5% only a few decades ago.
Experts have agreed that this is so because people nowadays are exercising less than before. Also, the wrong kinds of food are finding their way into the kitchens of american families who are becoming more affluent.
And while schools are doing their share in combating this problem by requiring students to take up Physical Education or JROTC, the growing number of obese children proves that we need to do more.
It's a well-known fact that the risk of hypertension is directy related to one's weight. If more weight is being carried by the body, more work is being done by the heart to counteract it. As time passes, the heart grows larger and weaker.
Hardening of the arteries may also happen, which impedes the blood from circulating around the body.
Hypertension is marked by a blood pressure reading of over 120/80 mm Hg. Individuals who suffer from hypertension are at increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, dementia, blindness, and impotence.
Studies have shown that overweight individuals are at a much greater risk of suffering from high blood pressure - up to three times more likely - than those who maintain the ideal weight for their height.
Conventional hypertension treatments are all over the place. There are medical therapies and suggestions to exercise and eat healthier. But as I've mentioned in a previous post, less than one out of every three individuals suffering from hypertension actually avail of these treatments.
Some of these treatments are expensive, while others have side effects which people would much rather do without.
You can then say that they can exercise to reduce weight right? We all know that the most common reply would be, "I'm too lazy", or "I don't have time to exercise", which just sounds more pleasing than "I'm too lazy."
So what's the deal?
I've tried some of the treatments mentioned above, like exercise, weight reduction, and healthier diet, and have found that they are effective in lowering blood pressure. Significant improvements can be seen even with just a 10-pound reduction in body weight.
Still, not all of us are willing to part with the little joys in life. That's where my Natural Blood Pressure Exercise Program comes in.
My program does not involve long hours of exercise or any strenuous physical activity. It does not even talk about weight loss. It only involves removing nerve tension and emotional stress, which in turn lowers blood pressure.
And all it requires is a conviction to spend a few minutes each week to do the exercises.
No other treatment has helped me control my hypertension better than these exercises. the program can be accessed by clicking on the link found at the upper-right-hand side of this website.
Though it wouldn't hurt to do something as simple as my exercises and shed a few pounds at the same time, would it?
