			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hypertension is a growing problem in the United States today. Everyday, more and more people are being diagnosed with it.</p>
<p>Although there are several types of hypertension, all can lead to heart disease, heart attacks and even death, if left untreated. </p>
<p>Hypertension can be caused by several different factors. Family history is the biggest factor in who will develop this. Certain ethnic backgrounds tend to have more hypertension than others. </p>
<p>Studies indicate that it is because of the types of foods that are consumed. Foods that are high in fat, especially saturated fats, can cause hypertension. Using a lot of salt has also been associated with high blood pressure. </p>
<p>Lack of exercise and obesity are also causes of hypertension. Millions of people worldwide are either overweight or obese.</p>
<p>Other causes include high caffeine intake, such as coffee and soda, lack of exercise, smoking, and high cholesterol levels. </p>
<p>People who are diagnosed with hypertension are more likely to suffer from heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and kidney related problems. </p>
<p>Where there is cause for concern, it is not necessary to panic or stress over the diagnosis. There are ways to treat hypertension and still lead a normal life.</p>
<p>There are many different types of medications called Anti-hypertensives on the market today that can treat hypertension by lowering blood pressure to an acceptable level. Your doctor will advise you on what level is right for you. </p>
<p>Maintaining a proper blood pressure is critical because it affects the critical parts of your body. Heart, kidneys, the adrenal glands and brain function are all affected by blood pressure. </p>
<p>Your doctor will also advise you that lifestyle changes need to be made.  The most difficult thing the doctor will tell you to do is to quit smoking. </p>
<p>Weight loss is the next step. Fitness centers and gyms offer a personal trainer that will assist you with your weight loss needs and set up a program that is tailored to your specific needs. Fitness centers also offer nutritional counseling. A nutritionist can put together menu options that you can stick to.  </p>
<p>It is important to add a lot of fruits and vegetables to your diet. These will assist in lowering your blood pressure. Reducing your salt intake will also assist in lowering your blood pressure. </p>
<p>Hypertension can affect every aspect of your life. If you do not treat it, it can lead to serious, sometimes fatal, results. </p>
<p>Although this disease is affecting more and more people every year, it is a completely treatable. In fact, it is one of the most treatable diseases today. It is crucial to your health to make the necessary changes to lower your blood pressure. This will insure a long and happy life. </p>
<p>Disclaimer: If you need more information about hypertension, talk to your doctor or a qualified professional.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MARIAN was afraid! Without warning, her nose had begun to bleed profusely. ?I thought I was going to die,? she recalls. A doctor informed Marian that her nosebleed had been caused by high blood pressure (arterial hypertension). ?But I feel fine,? answered Marian. ?Many people do not know that they have high blood pressure because they have no symptoms,? she replied.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>What about your blood pressure? Could your current life-style cause high blood pressure in the future? What can you do to keep your blood pressure under control?</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Blood pressure is the force blood exerts against blood vessel walls. It can be measured using an inflatable rubber cuff, which is wrapped around the upper arm and connected to an apparatus that records pressure. Two readings are obtained. For example: 120/80. The first number is called systolic blood pressure because it indicates blood pressure during the heartbeat (systole), and the second number is called diastolic blood pressure because it indicates blood pressure while the heart is relaxed (diastole). Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury, and physicians classify patients as hypertensive when their blood pressure is above 140/90.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>What makes blood pressure increase? Imagine that you are watering your garden. By opening the faucet or by reducing the caliber, or diameter, of the jet of water, you increase the pressure of the water. The same occurs with blood pressure: Increasing the rate of flow of blood or decreasing the caliber of the blood vessel elevates the blood pressure. How does high blood pressure occur? Many factors are involved.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Factors You Cannot Control</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Researchers have discovered that if a person has relatives with high blood pressure, his chances of suffering from the disease are greater. Statistics indicate a higher incidence of hypertension in identical twins than in fraternal twins. One study refers to the ?mapping of the genes responsible for arterial hypertension,? all of which would confirm the existence of a hereditary component responsible for high blood pressure. The risk of abnormally high blood pressure is also known to increase with age and to be greater among black males.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Factors You Can Control</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Watch your diet! Salt (sodium) can boost blood pressure in some people, especially people with diabetes, those with severe hypertension, older people, and some blacks. Excess fat in the bloodstream can create deposits of cholesterol on the internal walls of blood vessels (atherosclerosis), thus reducing their caliber and increasing blood pressure. People who are more than 30</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>High Blood Pressure also called hypertension, is elevated pressure of the blood in the arteries. Blood pressure is the measurement of force applied to artery walls High blood pressure has to be taken seriously. It is a serious disease, the cause of which is more or less unknown. What we do know is that left untreated, high blood pressure over time can lead to serious heart disease and other vascular troubles, even death. Health professionals think that there are some genetic factors but as yet they cannot pin down the range of specific genes involved that cause high blood pressure. Studies suggest that people suffering from chronic high blood pressure may come from autonomic nervous system that controls heart rate, blood pressure and the blood vessels. </p>
<p>High blood pressure is strongly associated with diabetes, both type 1 and type 2. Obesity and insulin resistance are the factors associated with high blood pressure, in type 2 diabetes, the more common type. During the last decade, the number of Americans with high blood pressure has increased by 30%. Over 65 million Americans adults now have high blood pressure. Two thirds of Americans over age 60 have high blood pressure and women in that group have highest rates and higher mortality rates from high blood pressure. About 34% of African American men and women have high blood pressure, it may account for over 40% of all deaths in this group. Moreover, high blood pressure is becoming more common in children and teenage. </p>
<p><strong>Detrimental effects of high blood pressure</strong> </p>
<p>It is the reason why high blood pressure has been called the &#8220;silent killer&#8221;. High blood pressure has detrimental effects on many organs like kidneys, eyes, and heart. High blood pressure is the primary cause of death in over 120,000 cases last year and contributes to 75% of all strokes and heart attacks and even more in African Americans. Research suggests that people with mild high blood pressure have three times more likely to have a heart attack as people with normal blood pressure and ten times the normal risk of stroke depending on the severity of the blood pressure. High blood pressure can also cause mental problems such as memory lost . </p>
<p>Fortunately, controlling blood pressure with the proper treatment can reduce or prevent those health complications. Healthy life style is a must for anyone with blood pressure (120/80mm Hg) and above in order to prevent serious complications of that disease. </p>
<p>Healthy life style includes: exercise on a daily basis, normal weight, healthy diet, reasonable alcohol consumption, limited sodium intake, more potassium and calcium intake. If you want to naturally support healthy blood pressure function, there are some key herbal supplements. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bloodpressurenormalized.com/hbp1/">diet to reduce high blood pressure</a> really cure hypertension with no medication?  Yes and most people are unaware that their diet has an enormous impact on their high blood pressure points.  In fact, you can naturally cure high blood pressure naturally with changing your diet, taking the correct vitamins, supplements, and minerals, and learning various exercises (including breathing techniques you can do anywhere).</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Unfortunately, to the patient&#8217;s demise, doctors always recommend a variety of medications to reduce high blood pressure.  Whether the medication is synthetically widening the arteries or slowing the heart rate, medications are only hiding the true problem of high blood pressure? build up in your arteries!</p>
<p><b>Choosing to a Natural Cure</b> </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The biggest mistake you can make is to naively take high blood medication the rest of your life.  Millions do and the side-effects can be annoying after the first few months, not to mention the next 20+ years.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Though natural health, also called holistic treatments, have had their fair share of skeptics.  It might be surprising that research in the last 10 years has actually proved some of the oldest remedies. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>For instance, one of the most important nutrients for your body when it comes to treating high blood pressure is potassium.  However, diuretics (a high blood pressure medication) can flush potassium as well as sodium from the body.  Researchers at Duke University found that getting more potassium could lower blood pressure by as many as 20 points for people most at risk for high blood pressure.  </p>
<p><b>A Diet to Reduce High Blood Pressure</b></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Here are 10 simple dieting tips to lower your score in weeks!</p>
<p><b>1. High Fiber Breakfast-</b> Eat cereals with at least 5 grams of fiber.  A good fiber cereal will also make a great snack during the day.  Purchase some baggies to make it more convenient.</p>
<p><b>2. Beans-</b> Beans are an excellent source of both fiber and protein.  You can purchase them raw or canned.  Try adding beans to soups and salads.</p>
<p><b>3. Fruits and Vegetables-</b> These are loaded with water-soluble fiber which will naturally flush cholesterol, toxins and even plaque.  Brightly colored fruits and veggies contain phytochemicals which are also extremely beneficial.</p>
<p><b>4. Nuts-</b> Nuts contain monounsaturated fats.  Eat them instead of chips and snack crackers that contain saturated and Trans fats.  </p>
<p><b>5.  Oils-</b> Always use oils that come from plants.  Olive, sunflower, and safflower oils are great instead of butter.</p>
<p><b>6. Fish-</b> Fish usually contain omega-3 fatty acids.  Omega-3 fatty acids have been documented as the heart-healthy fatty acid.  Salmon is always a good choice! </p>
<p><b>7. Whole Grain Breads-</b> You should finally make the switch from white to wheat.  It is always extremely important to eat whole-grain and fiber-rich bread products.  Eat bread that contains at least 3 grams of dietary fiber per slice.</p>
<p><b>8. Meats-</b> Choose leaner cuts for meats.  It might be also a good idea to choose game meats such as elk, deer, bison or ostrich.  Typically game meats are leaner which means less fat and less cholesterol.  </p>
<p><b>9.  Poultry-</b> Poultry is always a good option for meat!  However, you should always pass on the skin.</p>
<p><b>10. Dairy-</b> Reduced and nonfat dairy products will reduce the cholesterol and plaque levels.  If you are a milk drinker, you can shave a few points in weeks by switching to skim.</p>
<p><b>Normalize Your Blood Pressure in Days</b></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Before you purchase those expensive prescriptions again, have you considered what 3 minerals have been shown to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bloodpressurenormalized.com/hbp1/">naturally normalize your blood pressure</a>?  Did you know that breathing exercises can increase oxygen levels and normalize your score?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you diagnosed with high blood pressure?  Are you sick of feeling tired in the morning and not knowing why?  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>You might not realize that both hypertension (high blood pressure) and sleep apnea (sleep disorder when your breathing stops) are related to each other.  Recent research has found high blood pressure patients are more inclined to have a higher prevalence of sleep apnea.  This research might explain why your spouse is always complaining about your snoring and why you always feel tired throughout the day.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Though things might sound bleak now, you can actually <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bloodpressurenormalized.com/hbp1/">lower high blood pressure naturally</a> and increase your levels of quality sleep with a few lifestyle changes.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>And it might be simpler than you think!</p>
<p><b>Do you have high blood pressure? </b>     </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Do you suffer from a cardiovascular disease?  If you run the risk of high blood pressure, it would be recommended that you start treatment ASAP.  High blood pressure has been nicknamed the &#8217;silent killer&#8217; because there are no symptoms to the disease which claims almost 50,000 lives each year.  It has been stated that almost 1 and 3 adults are now walking time-bombs of hypertension.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Hypertension could be caused by any of the following factors: excessive alcohol consumption, high sodium (salt) intake, being overweight or obese, having high cholesterol, not exercising, high levels of stress, a poor diet or low levels of potassium, magnesium and calcium in your diet.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>And the good news!  You can lower high blood pressure in two weeks if you choose to be pro-active with simple nutrition and lifestyle changes.</p>
<p><b>Do you suffer from sleep apnea?</b></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>You might have sleep apnea and not even know it.  About 10 percent of Americans stop breathing in their sleep and suffer from sleep apnea.  It has been reported that an average suffer can stop breathing in their sleep, sometimes up to 100 times an hour, every hour.  And over time, the body&#8217;s sympathetic nervous system sets up an inflammatory response in the blood vessels causing increased high blood pressure.  This sleep apnea phenomena causes a vicious cycle which could be fatal over time.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Sleep apnea suffers usually have the following symptoms:  heavy snoring, periodic breathing stoppages, fatigue, high blood pressure, daytime headaches, and possible diabetes.  </p>
<p><b>Naturally Lower High Blood Pressure and Get a Good Night&#8217;s Sleep</b></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Do you remember how your teacher used to hark about the cause and effect?  The cause of a problem will always create an effect!  And it turns out, she was right.  High blood pressure causes numerous problems including sleep apnea.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>But the good news is this!  If you <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bloodpressurenormalized.com/hbp1/">lower high blood pressure naturally</a>, you will also reverse the effects of sleep apnea and lead a much healthier life.  In fact, you might also safe your life in the process!   </p>
<p><b>But how do you naturally lower high blood pressure? </b> </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It could be as simple as the DASH Diet.  It could be as simple as eating a few specific nuts every day.  It could be as simple as 4 easy tips that will help you live stress-free.  It could be as simple as taking the proper supplements and vitamins?  It could be as simple as the hypertension miracle vegetable?  Or it could be as simple as following our step-by-step 10 tip plan to normalized your blood pressure for good!</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Are you tired of thinking about the &#8216;what ifs&#8217;?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Also called hypertension, high blood pressure is a wide spread health problem. One in five Americans already has it and more than 90% will get it. The fact that at least 90% of us will develop high blood pressure or hypertension suggests that we are genetically programmed to get it, but it is not our fate, it?s something we do to ourselves. </p>
<p>High blood pressure when a person?s usual blood pressure is elevated. The top number, or systolic blood pressure is the highest pressure that occurs each time the heart beats, and the bottom number, or diastolic blood pressure, is the lowest pressure that occurs when the heart relaxes between beats. </p>
<p>If only one of the two numbers is elevated, a person is considered to have high blood pressure and should be treated. A person that is consistently over 140/90 mmHg, he has high blood pressure. </p>
<p>As we age, hypertension is related to the constriction and narrowing of blood vessels diminishing the blood flow and starving the organs of the oxygen they need causing a heart attack or a stroke. Women are more likely than men to suffer strokes, still unknown why. </p>
<p>Main Causes of High Blood Pressure </p>
<p>High blood pressure is a disease of poor lifestyle choices such as excess of salt and excess weight. Kidney and certain hormonal diseases can also contribute to hypertension but less common. Most of the cases (90% to 95%) are related to genetics, physiology and lifestyle. Other remaining cases result from pregnancy, drugs, tumors or diseases. </p>
<p>It is worth mentioning that most people are unaware they have high blood pressure until their blood pressure is measured. It is then most important that people regularly measure their own blood pressure using approved monitoring devices so that you can see if your blood pressure is within a normal range. </p>
<p>Natural Remedies for High Blood Pressure </p>
<p>If your blood pressure reading is higher than 135 mmHg for the top number or 85 mmHg for the bottom number may mean that you should take action. It would be appropriate to lower your blood pressure with lifestyle changes such as cutting back on salt and alcohol, losing weight and getting more exercise before being obliged to use DRUGS. </p>
<p>A healthy diet and exercise can lessen the need for drugs and reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Diet should emphasize vegetables and fruits, lean meat, low-fat dairy products, whole grains and salt restriction meaning intake of no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium a day. Stress is a factor not to be neglected. </p>
<p>Natural Remedies </p>
<p>Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support the solid health of the heart and circulatory system. In more recent times, research has investigated these claims. </p>
<p>There are now a number of published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support the cardiovascular system and to maintain blood pressure within the normal range. High-Rite from Native Remedies is what you need. Also, to control your blood sugar, I suggest Advanced Blood Sugar Solution from Health Resources .Take action and be in charge of your health. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what I would have done without High-Rite? I only wish that I had known about it sooner because it really works! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The answer to this question is fairly obvious is it not?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Sodium Chloride (the chemical name for Salt, the culinary cooking condiment not the International Treaty on Weapons limitation) is an essential element in the life of human beings. Most people think of Salt purely in terms of that little white food seasoning found in shakers on virtually very food table the world over.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Salt was of crucial importance in Ancient times as part of the economic transactions over slaves, hence the phrase Not worth his Salt. Wars have been fought over Salt supplies and certainly the capture of a national Salt supply has certainly played an important part in the nature of military campaigns.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Salt has inspired literature and many of the more semi philosophical sayings of today (To be taken with a pinch of salt, Salt of the Earth etc) come from a fascination with Salt.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
References to salt can be found in one of the worlds oldest published reference books, the Chinese book The Peng-Tzao-Kan-Mu. For an ancient text and one that almost dates prehistory the book describes in almost eerie detail two processes of extracting salt that are very much in use still today.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The actual requirement for the average Western Adult male is surprisingly small at 250 mg of sodium yet we still seem so addicted with the substance that the average consumption is almost 700 percent greater. So it comes as no surprise that Salt as a single substance is not only vitally important to our well being but also as one single substance probably causes us more harm than any other single substance (along with sugar).</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
With an approach to the consumption of Salt that almost borders an epidemic in that our consumption far outstrips our need as we consume on average some 3500 mg per day. This is still more than 7 times the amount actually required and goes some way to emphasise our dependency on this white granular substance.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
So if this substance tastes so good how can it actually be so bad for us? Well as the Chinese have said over the past 2500 years or so, too much Salt hardens the pulse i.e. it makes the arteries harden and this can lead to High Blood Pressure. The connection between excessive consumption of Salt and Hypertension has been well documented over the years and is as reliable as one could ever expect.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Does not everyone need to consume salt in order to survive? Salt is one of those substances that you could almost connect with virtually all of our external and internal bodily functions. With regards to our metabolism, Sodium helps assist the cells in our intestines in absorbing food and lastly, with sodium, the muscles in your body would not be able to contract and therefore we would not be able to move.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
So the sad aspect to the whole subject is that it is very much a case of too much of a good thing will cause you harm.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
It would appear that in this case the overall approach has got to be moderation in all things.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure is the result of two forces: from the heart as it pumps blood into the arteries and throughout the circulatory system, and the force of the arteries as they resist blood flow. Blood pressure is measured by putting a blood pressure cuff around your arm, inflating the cuff and listening for the flow of blood. Blood pressure is always given as these two numbers, the systolic and diastolic pressures. Blood pressure is traditionally measured with a device called a sphygmomanometer. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Blood pressure is generally felt to be abnormally high at a level of 140/90, and some sort of definitive therapy and follow-up should be started at this level. High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it usually has no symptoms.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Blood is carried from the heart to all parts of your body in vessels called arteries. Blood does not flow regularly like water from a tap:-When the heart contracts (systole), the blood is propelled into the main arteries that act as a pressurised reservoir.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Pressure in a hose can be regulated either by controlling the rate at which fluid passes through it or by widening it. Pressure inside your arteries can cause the muscles that line the walls of the arteries to thicken. Your blood pressure is at its highest when the heart beats, pumping the blood. When the heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls. Still, for most of your waking hours, your blood pressure stays pretty much the same when you are sitting or standing still.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Heart disease is the UK?s biggest killer, claiming thousands of lives each year. Heart failure is when your heart cannot pump blood around the body as well as it should, and this can cause you to become short of breath and can cause your ankles to swell. Heart attack High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart attacks.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Various disorders and drugs can cause the compensatory mechanisms to malfunction, and high blood pressure may result. Causes In most instances of high blood pressure, no known cause can be identified. Doctors do not know what causes high blood pressure in 90 to 95 percent of people who have it. For some people, just being in a medical setting causes their blood pressure to rise.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Symptoms When blood pressure is too low, the first organ to malfunction is usually the brain. Symptoms that may occur include: Confusion Chest pain Ear noise or buzzing Irregular heartbeat Nosebleed Tiredness Vision changes. What is treatment, medication, medicines, remedy, drugs, cure of lowering high Blood pressure or Hypertension? . Although high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can cause headaches, dizziness and problems with vision, the majority of people with the condition do not display any noticeable symptoms.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Treatment</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Treatment is focused on reducing water retention and lowering blood pressure to normal limits. Treatment for high blood pressure depends on the severity of the disease and whether you have other health problems, such as heart failure or diabetes, or you are pregnant. Treatment of primary high blood pressure, especially moderate or severe high blood pressure, decreases the risk of heart failure, coronary artery disease, heart attack, abnormal heartbeats, stroke, and kidney disease, and reduces the risk of death from these conditions. Treatment for high blood pressure must be highly individualized and based on your risk factors, such as diabetes, smoking, and heart disease. Treatment when blood pressure increases slightly and the woman is not near the end of her pregnancy, bed rest may help reduce the pressure. Treatment begins with changes you can make in your lifestyle to help lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease .</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it usually has no symptoms. When high blood pressure is not found and treated, it can cause: The heart to get larger, which may lead to heart failure. If your blood pressure is in the prehypertension range, it is more likely that you will end up with high blood pressure unless you take action to prevent it. High blood pressure is dangerous because it makes the heart work too hard and contributes to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). If your blood pressure is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg, then you have prehypertension. The good news is that if your blood pressure is high, it can be lowered by making changes to your lifestyle, for example changing your diet, exercising and losing weight, and when needed, with tablets. The medical community?s knowledge of high blood pressure is great, but far from perfect. High blood pressure is more common: In patients whose families have high blood pressure In those over 35 years old In males In Afro-Americans In women on oral contraceptives. The only way to know whether you have high blood pressure is to have it taken by a person who knows how (those automatic machines you sit at in the supermarket are not necessarily kept accurate condition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is often called the &#8220;silent killer&#8221; because it can damage your heart, kidney, and brain, even though you feel no symptoms. Blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, and constitutes one of the principal vital signs. If your blood pressure is normal, you can work with your health care team to keep it that way. If your blood pressure is too high, you need treatment to prevent damage to your body?s organs. High blood pressure is dangerous because it makesthe heart work too hard and contributes to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Blood pressure is a measure of how hard the blood pushes against the walls of your arteries as it moves through your body.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The medical term for high blood pressure is hypertension. It causes around 50% of coronary heart disease, and approximately 75% of strokes. Hypertension can be especially hard to manage when combined with other disorders, such as diabetes or obesity. Although high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can cause headaches, dizziness and problems with vision, the majority of people with the condition do not display any noticeable symptoms.  It is good to be asking about normal blood pressure values for children because most people think &#8220;high&#8221; blood pressure (hypertension) is something that only happens to adults. High blood pressure often does not cause any symptoms in children, but if not treated, it can cause serious health problems in the future.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Doctors do not know what causes high blood pressure in 90 to 95 percent of people who have it. In about 10 percent of patients, the disease can be traced to specific causes: heredity, kidney abnormalities, adrenal gland tumors, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hormone abnormalities, use of birth control pills, pregnancy or a congenital narrowing of the aorta.  Other possible causes of higher blood pressure are weight gain and decreased physical activity in winter. The nicotine in cigarettes and other tobacco products causes your blood vessels to constrict and your heart to beat faster, which temporarily raises your blood pressure.  In some people, alcohol causes blood pressure to rise quite a lot.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The key for any high blood pressure treatment is to bring the condition under proper control.  Treatment depends on how high your blood pressure is, whether you have other health problems such as diabetes, and whether any organs have already been damaged. Treatment begins with changes you can make to your lifestyle to help lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease (see the box below). You want to achieve your treatment goal, but sometimes it seems your blood pressure just doesn&#8217;t want to budge. You and your doctor can carefully review your treatment and lifestyle to see what&#8217;s going on. For hypertension that isn&#8217;t controlled by diet and exercise, new treatment guidelines for hypertension recommend that most patients be started on a thiazide-type diuretic, unless there is a compelling need for a different class of medications.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>So high blood pressure is a condition that most people have at some point in their lives. You should always have an idea of what your blood pressure is, just as you know your height and weight. However, the biggest problem with treatment of high blood pressure is not a lack of knowledge, but a lack of the application of our current knowledge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a persistent blood pressure above 90 mm Hg between the heart beats (diastolic) or over 140 mm Hg at the beats (systolic). The blood pressure varies naturally in response to stress and physical work load. Therefore the blood pressure shall be measured in a relaxed situation and several times before this diagnosis is certain.</p>
<p>Hypertension does not in itself give dramatic symptoms, but it is dangerous because it causes a highly increased risk for heart infarction, stroke and renal failure.</p>
<p>THE PREVALENCE OF HYPERTENSION</p>
<p>One out of six persons is hypertensive. Most persons suffering from hypertension is over the age of 35. Still 6% of teenagers are hypertensive and also 1% of every child.</p>
<p>THE SYMPTOMS AND CONSEQUENCES OF HYPERTENSION</p>
<p>Hypertension is often without symptoms. By mild hypertension, flushing and headache can occur.<br />
More serious hypertension gives symptoms like: Fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, tachycardia (rapid heart rate) and nosebleeds.</p>
<p>Extreme hypertension gives morning headache, blurred vision, dyspnoea (breathing difficulties) and elevated values of certain components in the blood, like urea and serum creatinine.</p>
<p>Hypertension will in the long run hurt the blood vessels, and serious hypertension can do extensive damage to the blood vessels in a few months or years. </p>
<p>The damaged blood vessels will impair the blood flow. They can also rupture causing a bleeding or be clogged by a blood clot that shuts out the blood flow and causes tissue damage. These things can occur in the brain, causing a stroke, in the heart causing heart infarction or in the kidneys with renal failure as a consequence.</p>
<p>A renal failure will in the next turn cause the hypertension to aggarvate, partly because a damaged kidney will not manage to secrete water and salt well enough, and partly because a kidney that do not get enough blood will start a hormonal mechanism that induces the kidney to actively hold back salt and water.</p>
<p>THE MECHANISMS AND CAUSES OF HYPERTENSION</p>
<p>The direct mechanisms causing hypertension is one or more of these factors:<br />
- An increased tension in the blood vessel walls.<br />
- An increased blood volume caused by elevated levels of salt and lipids in the blood holding back water.<br />
- Hardened and inelastic blood vessels caused by arteriosclerosis.</p>
<p>The primary causes behind these mechanisms are not fully understood, but these factors contribute to causing hypertension:<br />
- A high consume of salt<br />
- A high fat consume.<br />
- Stress at work and in the daily life.<br />
- Smoking.<br />
- Over-weight<br />
- Lack of exercise.<br />
- Kidney failure.</p>
<p>LIFESTYLE MEASURES TO PREVENT AND TREAT HYPERTENSION</p>
<p>Lifestyle measures shall always be a component of the hypertension treatment. Sometimes such measures are enough to cure the condition. Those measures are:<br />
- Reducing salt consume.<br />
- Reduction of the consume of fat, and especially saturated fat.<br />
- Weight reduction.<br />
- Relaxing and stress reduction techiques, for example meditation and autogenic training.<br />
- Regular exercise.</p>
<p>SPECIAL FOOD TYPES THAT REDUCE THE BLOOD PRESSURE</p>
<p>Research projects suggest that the following food types reduce blood pressure.</p>
<p>Fish oil and fat fish. The working substances seem to be the omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The effect from fish oil seems to cease when the fish oil supplements are stopped.<br />
-Olive oil, especially olive oil of the quality extra virgin.</p>
<p>NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS TO HELP AGAINST HYPERTENSION</p>
<p>Natural supplements to treat hypertension exist. These supplements reduce blood pressure by lowering the cholesterol and lipid content in the blood, by preventing oxidation of tissue components by free radicals, and by helping damaged blood vessels to heal. Examples of ingredients having these effects are vitamin B3, inositol, turmenic extract and gum guggul extract. </p>
<p>They may also contain Ingredients giving a direct anti-hypertensive effect, like potassium, magnesium, calcium, vitamin C and fatty acids from marine sources.</p>
<p>MEDICAL TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION </p>
<p>When lifestyle measures and supplements are not enough to cure the condition, medical treatment must be applied.</p>
<p>Diuretics, or medicines to increase the urine production, are used to decrease the water content in the blood vessels, and thereby reduce the pressure in the vessels. When the water content is lowered, the heart does not need to pump so hard any more, and this will also reduce the pressure.</p>
<p>Beta-adrenergic blockers are another group of medicines to treat hypertension. This group of medicines block the signals that hormones and neurotransmitters give to the vessel walls, and the vessel walls then relax. They also slow down the heart rate to give a lower pressure exerted by the heart upon the blood.</p>
