What is... Blood Pressure? A free report from www.TheHighwayToHealth.com
This article provides key extracts from a free pdf, which can be accessed at the above URL.
* What's wrong with high blood pressure?*
High blood pressure shows doctors what else is happening in your
body. Years of experience and research tell doctors that high blood
pressure is a sign of other problems including:
Angina
Heat Attack
Heart Failure (it doesn't work as well as it should)
Stroke
If you can reduce your blood pressure, you can reduce the chances
of these problems. There's a free report at
http://www.thehighwaytohealth.com/ that goes in to more detail about what
exactly 'blood pressure' is, and what the numbers mean.
*What is _too high?_*
Your doctor will normally set a target, depending upon your own
medical history, conditions, etc. If you don't already have a target set,
or have not had problems with your blood pressure, then a good guide is
140/100. If you're regularly getting a reading above this, see your doctor.
An 'ideal' target is 120/80.
(See the free report at http://www.thehighwaytohealth.com/ for a full
explanation of the numbers, and what 'ideal' means for you.)
* Three fast steps to change your Blood Pressure *
The good news is that if your blood pressure is too high, you can
lower it yourself. No medication and no cost needed (to start with)!
1. Exercise helps to improve your blood pressure.
The recommended amount is (at least) 30 min, five days a week. Gentle
exercise is fine to start with. Just enough to raise your pulse a little.
You don't have to be a gym-rat to achieve this!
(Get www.TheHighwayToHealth.com for a 'secret' way to exercise.)
2. Changing your diet can help your blood pressure.
If you are overweight, decreasing your weight can help. Changing what, and
how much you eat can help too. (www.TheHighwayToHealth.com can help tell
if you're overweight.)
3. If you drink alcohol, decreasing the amount you drink will improve
your blood pressure. (www.TheHighwayToHealth.com tells you how much is
too much and how to work it all out.)
So now you know what's too high, why it matters and what to do about it.
Come on over to http://www.thehighwaytohealth.com/ for the full (free) report
and grab yourself an eBook that will improve your health, extend your life
(probably!) and save you money too.
