Blood Pressure Exercise – Is Working Out Good Or Bad For You?

High blood pressure exercise is a way of lowering your blood pressure but it can also cause it to rise. So what is the right way to exercise if you have the condition of hypertension and desperately need to get rid of it? In this article, I’ll show you exactly how exercise works and how it can be part of a greater overall regime for easy lowering of blood pressure.

During Exercise

Actually, during exercise your b.p. will increase temporarily but this is perfectly safe.

As the heart rate increases, the speed of the blood coursing through your veins will also increase and the force exerted on your arterial walls will go up.

However, they are flexible and designed to cope with such short term bursts. It is the longer elevated pressure that are more damaging.

The Benefits Of Exercise

Doing exercise regularly can benefit you greatly because it helps the arterial walls become more flexible. The more flexible they are, the less likely a stricture is to occur. In fact, it can have immediate effects and if you work out then your b.p. is normally lower for the rest of that particular day.

The Best Type Of Exercise

The best part is that moderate exercise actually has a greater blood pressure lowering effect than heavy exercise. So you do not need work out like an athlete. Simply walking more may be enough to get you back into the healthy zone around 115/75.

Only 1 Of 3 Steps

If you are determined to get better but without using drugs and being saddled with side effects, then exercise is only one part of the key.

There are two other key areas of your life that you must also bring under control. One of these is what you eat, for example.

High Blood Pressure Exercise : Does Exercise Raise Or Lower Your Blood Pressure?

High Blood Pressure Cures — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:00:10 +0000

Exercise and hypertension – are the two connected in any way? In this article, I’ll show you how exercise can actually both raise and lower your blood pressure.

Immediate Effects Of Exercise

When you exercise, the heart and blood system go into overdrive. Because your muscles are working harder then they need more fuel in the form of oxygen. Oxygen is delivered via the blood system so your heart rate goes up.

Because your heart beats faster this puts a greater strain on your blood system. Basically, your blood pressure goes up.

So does this mean that exercise is bad for hypertension? Not at all.

The Benefits Of Exercise To Lower Your Blood Pressure

The human body is incredibly “elastic” and can cope with many different conditions for short periods. Obviously, you cannot exercise for 24 hours a day. So the temporary increased blood pressure is not harmful to you.

On the contrary, exercise actually widens your arteries over time and prevents them from constricting. This means that your blood pressure will actually decrease with time.

So you can see that exercise is actually good for defeating hypertension, in fact it is one of the best ways to lower blood pressure.

Do You Have To Work Hard?

Studies have shown that you don’t need to push very hard to get the benefits of exercise in reducing your blood pressure. Even low intensity exercise is better than none at all. It is also a good idea to do cardiovascular exercise e.g. fast walking, jogging – rather than strength training.

High Blood Pressure Foods – Reduce Your Blood Pressure Through What You Eat

High Blood Pressure Cures — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:37:39 +0000

A high blood pressure diet is one way that you can lower your blood pressure and get it back to the healthy figure of 115/75. In this article, I’ll show you how it works and what you need to do to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke.

The Diet

Actually, although some diets have been invented specifically curing hypertension, there are also a number of people who are also healthy but not following one of these specific diets. If we look at them, we can see that all of these diets combined share a number of features.

For example, they all advise to eat more lower glycaemic index (GI) foods rather than higher ones. This is because low GI foods are linked to lower blood pressure due to how your body produces and uses insulin.

There are also a number of supplements that you can take as part of such a diet. One of the popular ones is garlic. It contains a chemical called allicin that is very beneficial for lowering blood pressure but also getting a better cholesterol balance.

Cholesterol

Yes, the reason I mention cholesterol is because there is no point in having a healthy blood pressure if you also ignore your cholesterol. The two go hand in hand. Luckily, most of these diets will benefit you in both ways.

Supplements

I mentioned these briefly already. Garlic is not the only supplement that you can take. There are many other, powerful supplements that can each reduce your b.p. by 10/5 at a time.

Not Just Diet

Diet is just one part of the puzzle. If you rely on diet alone then you will probably need to take less drugs for your condition. But if you also address the other co-factors in your life then you should not need to take drugs at all, no matter what your background – don’t let “genetics” be an excuse to stay on drugs and not go the whole way with natural methods!

High Blood Pressure Medication – Which Drugs Will Your Doctor Prescribe to You?

High Blood Pressure Cures — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:58:16 +0000

High blood pressure medication has been developed for decades and doctors now have a pretty good idea of what they can give you and in which combinations. In this article, I’ll give you an overview of what to expect and also tell you how there is a scientifically proven alternative to drugs.

ACE Inhibitors

This class of drugs prevents the formation of a hormone that causes your arteries to narrow and therefore gives you high blood pressure. Common side effects include dizziness and a persistent dry cough.

Beta Blockers

These drugs block the transmission of some nerve impulses and have something similar to a sedative effect. Common side effects include cold hands or feet. The UK government advises against using them for blood pressure lowering as they may play a part in causing Type II diabetes.

Calcium Channel Blockers

These drugs stop calcium entering the muscle cells of the arteries. This allows them to relax more easily and widen. Ankle swelling and constipation are common side effects.

Diuretics

These drugs make you urinate more frequently to rid the body of excess sodium

Drug Management

Your doctor will try to make various combinations of the above in an effort to minimise the side effects. Ultimately, however, most patients will have to learn to cope with some side effects. Paradoxically, these drugs can even cause an increase in the risk of heart attack and stroke – precisely the reason why you want to lower your blood pressure in the first place!

Natural/Lifestyle Risk Reduction

Far better is to simply take a look at your lifestyle and address the three main causes: diet, stress and the right types of exercise.

Treatment For High Blood Pressure – Drugs Or Natural Methods?

High Blood Pressure Cures — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 18:54:21 +0000

Treatment for high blood pressure is absolutely necessary and it is little wonder that doctors call this condition “the silent killer”. If you don’t get some form of treatment to bring your blood pressure back under control then you run a higher risk of early death from heart attack or stroke.

Drugs

It is no surprise that many people wonder about drug remedies first. In the last thirty years or so we have become accustomed to reaching for a pill to fix many of our ailments. Those with high blood pressure are no exception.

Your doctor has a wide choice of medicines to choose from. He can prescribe then according to several rules but they are almost always given in pairs.

This is because one drug will produce side effects and the other is used to, somewhat unsuccessfully, control them. You see, no drug has ever been invented specifically for lowering blood pressure. Because hypertension is a problem that you have all over your body wherever there are any arteries, drugs can only attempt to fix your problem on this “whole body” level too.

At the end of the day, side effects are very common with the drug approach to lowering blood pressure. Your doctor may try various combinations to minimize them but ultimately he can never be 100% successful.

Natural Methods

Unless your blood pressure is so high that you are in imminent danger of dying within a few months then many people, including doctors, will recommend that you try natural treatments for your blood pressure.

This basically involves addressing the key causes of your blood pressure which are nearly all lifestyle related.

You may have heard that some people have “bad genes” and that this is why they get this condition. This is another myth that is often peddled. Yes, genetics plays some part but it is more likely to be used as an excuse when in fact some basic and minimal changes to your lifestyle could cure you completely.

One of the major areas that you need to address, for example, is your diet. This does not mean slimming down or becoming a vegetarian. It simply means avoiding the worst culprits and taking beneficial supplements

By addressing all the relevant areas, including your diet, anyone can successfully lower their b.p. naturally.

Worried about dying before your time is up? Don’t put off getting healthier any longer. Discover how to defeat your high blood pressure forever and live a healthy, worry free life with a proven 3 step success system here: Blood Pressure Truth.

Causes of High Blood Pressure – Why Do Some People Get Hypertension?

High Blood Pressure Cures — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:42:48 +0000

The causes of high blood pressure number just one or number several depending on which way you look at it. Find out more and unlock the secret to curing it, in this article.

Narrowed Arteries

Your blood pressure is simply the measured pressure on the walls or your arteries. If your arteries narrow then the pressure will increase.

Think of it as like a garden hose pipe. If you squeeze the hose with your fingers or step onto it then the pressure will increase and the water will flow out faster, at a higher pressure.

Genetics

Genetics are a definite contributing factor and often mistaken as a direct cause. Several genes have been identified as responsible which makes it quite hard to find a good drug cure. The drugs that are available cannot target your arteries alone and tend to have “whole body” effects which is why you may have heard of the common, debilitating side effects such as frequent urination.

The other thing to say about genetics is that many people use them as an excuse. They feel that if there is a family history of high blood pressure that they must therefore turn to drugs. This is definitely not the case. The actions that you take (see next section) far outweigh any small genetic predispositions.

Natural Methods

Natural methods are not some wonder cure herbal mix. Simply put, your blood pressure is a result of your lifestyle. You may even look healthy from the outside and feel great but your blood pressure readings do not lie.

There are three ways that you can get or solve your high blood pressure.

The first is in what you eat. By making tiny changes you can easily lower your b.p.

The second is in exercise and the type that you do. You most certainly do not need to become an athlete to get rid of your hypertension.

The third is your stress levels. It is cliched but your stress can be a major contributor to your condition and most people have no clue how to really get rid of their stress.

Worried about dying early? Eliminate your worries and become healthy again by following a proven blood pressure lowering and natural 3 step system for success here: Blood Pressure Truth.
