High Blood Pressure And Obesity

By Chrisitan Goodman

Sadly, different studies have shown that almost half of Americans today are overweight. And this statistic is not just limited to the adults. Almost 14% of Children now are overweight, compared to 5% only a few decades ago.

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.

Even though some physical activities are being required by schools, such as credits in Physical Education or JROTC for graduation, the statistics are telling us that these efforts are not enough.

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.

A blood pressure reading of over 120/80 mm Hg is a sign of hypertension. When you have hypertension, you are more prone to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, dementia, blindness, and impotence.

Studies indicate that overweight individuals are three times more likely to suffer from high blood pressure than those who are healthy.

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 are discouraged at the price of some of these treatments, while others are disliking the side effects.

How about good old fashioned exercise then to reduce weight? The most well-known answer to that would be, "I'm too lazy", or "I don't have time to exercise" which is another way of saying "I'm too lazy."

So what's the deal?

I've tried some of the treatments mentioned above, like exercise, weight reduction, and healthier diet, and have found that they are effective in lowering blood pressure. Significant improvements can be seen even with just a 10-pound reduction in body weight.

However, we are unwilling to give up those things that we enjoy. That is why I developed the Natural Blood Pressure Exercise Program.

My program does not involve long hours of exercise or any strenuous physical activity. It does not even talk about weight loss. It only involves removing nerve tension and emotional stress, which in turn lowers blood pressure.

And all it requires is a conviction to spend a few minutes each week to do the exercises.

No other treatment has helped me control my hypertension better than these exercises. the program can be accessed by clicking on the link found at the upper-right-hand side of this website.

Though it wouldn't hurt to do something as simple as my exercises and shed a few pounds at the same time, would it?
