Control blood pressure and restrain hypertension
We mean by “Blood pressure” the pressure
that our blood is exerting inside arteries and vessels and how it is pushing
their walls when driving through them in the body.
Blood pressure is high when the heart beats and pumps the blood, and that
is the systolic pressure phase. And when the heart rests, between two pumps,
the pressure falls down and that’s the diastolic pressure phase.
Blood pressure may rise and falls during
the time you live, and this is according to your daily statement. Pressure is
at low level when sleeping, but raise when you wake up, it also raise when you
get nervous, exited or when you make extra body efforts.
Blood pressure when high is called hypertension and
Hypotension when is down under the normal. Both of hyper and hypo tensions are
an illness and a risk for the health.
Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to
major complications through the body, especially tire the heart and damage the
kidney and small blood vessels throughout the body; it can also generate
strokes and death. Those facts are mainly due to the excessive pressure that
the blood is exerting on the walls of the arteries.
You can easily buy a digital or
electronic stethoscope to control your blood pressure at home and it’s really
easy to learn and to know how to use it. For any abnormal pressure, it will be
safer to ask assistance from your nearest Doctor.
Although our body is naturally controlling its blood pressure and genes are
playing a great role in the occurrence of hypertension, but men’s lifestyle
habits play also very important but crucial part in controlling blood pressure
condition.
Tips to control Hypertension.

Limit salt in your dishes and avoid
foods with high level in sodium such as packaged and processed foods such as
meats, bacon and ham, sausages, pretzels, chips peanuts and popcorn or canned
soup ketchup, pickles and soy sauce and others. When there is too much salt,
the body needs also too much water and retains it to absorb and wash the excess
of salt from blood and organs. This will result in high blood pressure
and massive activity from the heart and kidneys.
Eat vegetables, fruits and low-fat nutriments.
It’s always more beneficial to have a
diet close to nature, and eat foods which are rich with good amounts of
nutritional elements that help to feed your body and not to tire him.

potassium, magnesium, vitamins and milk products are rich in calcium.

like krill, sardines, mackerel and nearly all others kind of fish.

Deep breathing
Deep breathing is one of those relaxation exercises that can beneficently help the heart
to pump easily blood through arteries, but shallow
breathing may deprive your body from enough required oxygen. For that purpose
the heart need to automatically compensate this lack of oxygen by more pumps to
irrigate more blood and that will tire the heart and raise blood pressure.

your mind, increase your lung functions, improve concentration and relax your
