Natural Treatment for Hypertension-HBP, High Blood Pressure

We are leaving in crowd environment surrounded by people and each of them live his own life, and have his own story… Some of them are happy and optimistic and others sad and I wouldn’t say pessimistic but more realistic, some times it seems like even too realistic for me. Each of those stories may influent or affects our lives in different ways. Happy stories influent us less than the sad ones which have more powerful impact on us.

It turns out that illnesses and diseases influent our lives more than other causes since they alter lives; they cause to significant changes and claim the precious cost…

High blood pressure or Hypertension (HBP), known also as the “Silent Killer”, because of the silent nature of the disease affects the lives of millions of people and become to one of the most dangerous diseases in modern world. In most cases, as the American Heart Association claims, “high blood pressure is not a disease of separate identity but usually appears as symptom of other disease, and in most cases of high blood pressure there is no one identifiable cause”.

Statistics of disease are terrifying: it claims a new victim every 35 seconds and the cardiovascular disease kills almost 2500 Americans each day by heart attacks, stroke, kidney or heart failures…

There is a wealth of the prescription medications that High blood sufferer may utilize to treat Hypertension: kind of blockers, diuretics, vasodilators, inhibitors… They are very effective to maintain blood pressure, to lower it and keep it down.

How To Avoid The Mid-Afternoon Energy Slump

Creating Your Health ~tip

One of the most important things that I would recommend to avoid the mid-afternoon energy slump would be to keep your blood sugar steady by eating at least three meals and two snacks a day; and by eating a low-glycemic diet that includes whole foods (not processed foods) such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and/or sprouted grains. This way you won’t be having those dramatic highs and lows in energy throughout the day which cause glycemic stress.

Say for example, you have a bagel or a doughnut for breakfast. This will cause your blood sugar level to rise rapidly. This rise in blood sugar causes insulin to be secreted. (Insulin is our storage hormone). What happens is this insulin causes the sugar to rapidly change to fat, and it causes our body to hold on to the stored fat that we have (sort of like a sponge). It also causes glucagon to be suppressed. (Glucagon is our fat releasing hormone) What happens then is that the blood sugar begins to drop very rapidly; it even drops lower than what it was before you had anything to eat.
