Lifestyles for low blood pressure
Hypertension has been called a silent killer.
Although associated with the elderly, and it is the incidence begins to rise at
age 40, there are also a large number of younger people who also have no idea
and . Even slightly elevated blood pressure can cause serious health
problems over a lifetime.
To start, you should have your blood pressure checked
regularly. I have mine checked every year during my physical and my doctor
recommended and now also to check at home. It turns out that mine always
measured low physicians, but not when I was busy and stressed.
What is a lifestyle for low blood pressure? Avoiding
stress is high on the list, but may be impossible to do for some of us, so try
to limit it. Regular exercise is also important and something as simple as
walking 20-30 minutes a few times a week will make a big difference thing. Of
course, the weight matter if you're a fatty like me to work on losing some of
those extra pounds please. Alcohol is unfortunately also a limiting factor and
doctors recommend your self to two drinks per day maximum. I'll admit that I'm
not always so good about it.
How about food? A low-salt diet with high fiber, potassium
from fruits, whole grains, and vegetables, rich in calcium and low in fat is
ideal. Almost no system is perfect if they strive to improve yours, not
perfect.
Lowering your blood pressure can add years to your
life. It's that simple!
