Fast & Healthy Weight Loss -Addressing the silent killer in our midst. | uxa2.com

Every good gardener waters sensitive plants carefully so that high water pressure does not damage them. Like plants, the human body can be fragile and needs careful care to avoid excessive pressure. Have you thought about what happens to your body if your blood pressure stays high? It can have serious health consequences if left untreated!

According to the World Health Organization, high blood pressure, which is caused by a constant increase in blood pressure in our blood vessels, can be dangerous if it is not monitored and goes unnoticed for a long time. One way to check for high blood pressure is to use a blood pressure monitor (either at home if you have access to one, or at a health care clinic). The monitor provides you with two types of blood pressure readings: systolic and diastolic. Normal ranges for these two readings include a systolic reading of about 120 or less and a diastolic reading of 70 or less. Anytime your blood pressure reading consistently exceeds 120/70 10 or more is considered a warning sign of possible high blood pressure (often called hypertension). Note that blood pressure must be diagnosed by a qualified healthcare professional.

Unfortunately, the World Health Organization reports that nearly half of all adults with high blood pressure don’t know they have it! Yet worldwide, high blood pressure has been found to be one of the leading causes of premature death. For example, high blood pressure was shown to be a key risk factor for the development of serious heart diseases. High blood pressure has also been linked to the development of chronic kidney disease, dementia and stroke. These health effects are alarming and suggest that this silent killer needs to be addressed urgently!

To prevent complications related to high blood pressure, we should all check our blood pressure regularly and follow treatment recommendations if our readings are too high. We can avoid health problems related to high blood pressure by staying physically active, such as doing some exercise every day, such as walking, climbing stairs or cycling. It is also a good idea to eat a healthy, low-fat and vegetarian diet to prevent high blood pressure. It’s also a good idea to do our best to reduce frequent sources of stress in our lives and avoid excessive weight gain, all of which can lead to high blood pressure problems.

In addition, techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, self-care, sleep and low-impact exercise can help us reduce stress. Eating a balanced and healthy diet can also help us avoid excessive weight gain. Always remember that high blood pressure problems can appear slowly and invisibly, gradually destroying the most important organs with the excess pressure they carry. These dangerous health effects of high blood pressure are scary and many people don’t see them coming. However, when our blood pressure rises, it can change the body beyond repair and cause significant damage, even death, due to this silent killer. Fortunately, there is much we can do to reduce the risk of high blood pressure. Stay healthy!
