Getting Down with High Blood Pressure

When you heard something like a fit person died of heart attack due to hypertension, this this would have taken you by shock. On other hand you will see people who are plump and out of shape, but these people will have normal blood pressure. No one can say whether these kind of people will get hypertension and these kind of people will not get hypertension.

Every one should always check their blood pressure numbers correctly as this disease is called silent killer.

When you see a rise in blood pressure, there is actually a lot of things to remember before hitting the panic button. Your blood pressure cannot be determined by single reading. Blood pressure numbers depend mostly on the circumstances it is taken.

The same thing will happen with stress. When you have a tiring day at work, you will have a high blood pressure. When you have some pain that will rise the blood pressure number. So it is not appropriate to check your blood pressure numbers when you have any pain.

Ideally, your blood pressure should be taken after sitting for at least five minutes. You should never take it just after having a cigarette or drinking anything containing caffeine. Don't trust a reading that is taken when you are emotionally excited for any reason.

The main factor that contributes to blood pressure is being obese. When you get abnormal number when the reading is taken several times, then it's time to act.

You can get your hypertension to normal levels by following a regular exercise pattern and by losing few pounds.

Decreasing your salt intake will help you in a big way. Salt is also another major factor.

Breakfast cereals, luncheon meat, almost anything that has been processed has had large amounts of sodium added to it. Put down the saltshaker, eat more raw vegetables and fruits and you may be amazed at the effect it will have on your blood pressure.

Tension and stress are great contributors to hypertension. Relaxing normally is very good for health.

Your mind will also be free of tension after relaxing. Only a clear head can take better decisions.

These are the best combination to kill hypertension. Low salt, regular exercise and relaxation.
