To Live With Blood Pressure Is To Live Dangerously!
What is blood pressure? It is the level of force
of blood against the artery. If the force is as per the acceptable
standards, your blood pressure is normal. If the force is more, you
have high blood pressure. And if this force is less, you have low
blood pressure.
The disease of blood pressure, high or low, is
holding such a gigantic proportion of humanity at its mercy, that
notwithstanding mega-research on the problem, it is still widely
prevalent. No remedy has been perfected so far, to conquer it. The
consequences of the problem vary from individual to individual.
That's why, this is a personalized problem, the solutions of which,
will have to be found taking into consideration personal factors.
A blood pressure patient needs to take healthy decisions regarding
his diet and exercise.
Many faulty food habits of the modern materialistic civilization,
have contributed to this disease. Your refusal to take shelter in the
shadow of the protective wings of the nature is now forcing you to
pay the price. The matter is very simple, but you have complicated
the issue. Excessive use of colas and aerated waters, is a case in
point. Formerly, lemon juice was used to quench your thirst. But
today, the advantages of making lemon a part of your daily drinking
habit has advantages which are incomparable.
Lemons are considered invaluable in the case of high blood
pressure. Similarly, an apple diet has a rapid and considerable
diuretic effect causing increased urination thus bringing down blood
pressure to normal levels. It also relieves the kidneys by reducing
the supply of sodium chloride to a minimum. In addition, the high
level of potassium in apples lowers the sodium level in the
tissues.
Types of blood pressures are many and their
treatments are also varied. Anti hypertensive medications, like
diuretics, beta blockers and ACE inhibitors are extensively
recommended by the medical practitioners all over the world.
But all these medications are not completely
trustworthy. Side-effects are a matter of rule, not the exceptions in
case of these hard drugs. The reported side-effects are dizziness,
depression, impotence, liver damage and fatigue.
The real good and lasting remedy for blood pressure related
diseases is simple. Take the pressure out of your life. Take it out
in a methodical and systematic manner and as a consequence, blood
flow within your arteries, would be normal. And you would no longer
complain about blood pressure.
