The reason for this, experts say, is that the average American exercises less than before. Also, as American families become more affluent, consumption of the wrong kinds of food increases accordingly. And while most schools require credits in Physical Education or JROTC for graduation, the growing number of overweight children tells us that these programs aren't doing as well as we hope. 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. Arteries may also harden, hampering the circulation of blood 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, such as medical therapies to suggestions on how to exercise and eat healthier, are a dime a dozen. But as I've mentioned in a previous post, no one really makes use of these treatments. Many would frown at the prohibitive prices of some of these treatments, while others would much rather do without the side effects. 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 myself, and they all do carry a measure of effectiveness. Exercising, weight reduction, and a healthier diet lowers the blood pressure considerably - even a 10-pound reduction of body weight will show significant improvements. 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. With the program, you don't need long hours or extensive physical activities. You don't even need to lose weight. What is does is it effectively lowers blood pressure by relieving the body of nerve tension and emotional stress. Only a few minutes each week is required to do the program. I am healthier and my hypertension is better controlled by doing these exercises than the other treatments I've tried before.
