We all know that Health is wealth, but people continue to suffer and die from preventable disease and health condition not because of anything else, but by remaining stuck to worn-out belief, wrong advice, opinion and sentiment.
Take Simple Steps to Avoid High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is an important risk factor for atherosclerosis. A list of some of the probable causes includes stress, excessive alcohol use, smoking, overweight, not exercising, high cholesterol, insulin-resistant, intake of a diet with too much sodium (salt) and too low of levels of potassium, magnesium and calcium.
Stress is a bad actor here since some favorite coping skills for stress are drinking alcohol, smoking, and/or overeating. Stress very often stems from a hectic lifestyle or high-stress job where people feel they have no time for exercise. These common coping choices are all on the probable cause list above making stress a strong contender for the major cause of High Blood Pressure.
The best alternative to prescription drugs is to make some healthy lifestyle changes. The human body is meant to be in motion. Exercise goes a long way to manage stress. Simply taking a 15-minute walk a day can make a big difference. The body needs nutrients. Nutrients come from “real” food. One of the easiest and most effective ways to lower your blood pressure is to eat healthily. Consume a diet rich in complex carbohydrates, including vegetables, fruits, and legumes.
