5 Things You Can Do to Reduce Your Blood Pressure Naturally
|
Overall more women have high blood pressure than men but the difference grows significantly when women turn forty. Post menopausal women have a significantly greater risk than men their same age. High blood pressure and hypertension affects 25% of the population and directly kills more than 50,000 people each year and is a contributing factor in another 300,000. The disease has no visible symptoms and the American Heart Association estimates that a third of the people with the disease don't even know they have it.While the cause of HBP is not fully understood, the risk factors are. There are some risks that we can do nothing to impact but there are others that we can control through lifestyle. A woman over 40 needs to understand both types of risks to assess her vulnerability to the disease.
Age: As we grow older our blood pressure tends to increase and this is more prevalent in women rather than men. This is probably the result of our older blood vessels becoming hard or blocked with plaque causing the heart to have to pump harder to move the same volume of blood through a smaller diameter vessel.Existing Medical Conditions: Kidney disease and diabetes both have links to HBP. If you suffer from either of these conditions your risk of having high blood pressure increases.Lose Weight: Sixty percent of women in the U.S. are overweight and a third of those are obese. Being overweight places an additional stress on both the heart and the vascular system increasing the risk of high blood pressure. A loss of as little as five pounds can have a significant impact on blood pressure particularly if the loss comes from belly fat.
