No doubt, there are number of treatments and medicines available
for the treatment of high blood pressure. But as it is said,
"Precaution is better than cure". So, we must consider this
saying and follow the recommended rules in order to prevent the
high blood pressure.
Blood pressure is directly proportional to the body weight; it
means that if your weight increases the blood pressure also
rises. Overweight people have an increased risk of high blood
pressure, heart disease, and other illnesses. Losing weight
reduces the risk Even if you don't have high or low blood
pressure problems due to being overweight, a healthy weight can
help you feel active and lower your risk of blood pressure and
other diseases.
It's not just how much you weigh that's important: It also
matters where your body stores extra fat. Just like the other
things your body shape is also inherited from your parents. Some
people are "Apple-shaped"; these have extra fat at the waist
while others are "pear shaped" having more fat at their hips and
thighs. The former have higher health risks than the later.
Anyways, wherever that extra weight is you can still prevent it
and control your blood pressure. Even if you are already
captured by the high blood pressure; no problem just start
loosing wait and it will help you lower your pressure.
To loose weight, you should use up more calories than you eat.
You need to use up the day's calories and some of the calories
stored in your body fat. Eating 300 to 500 calories less per
day, may lead to losing between one and two pounds per week.
This is a realistic weight loss. It may seem slow, but would add
up to a weight loss of more than three stone in a year. Increase
your physical activity if you really want to loose your weight.
Being active controls your weight 10 times by eating less.
Besides losing weight, there are other reasons to be more
active: Being physically active can help lower high blood
pressure and your total cholesterol level while raising
HDL-cholesterol, and reduces your risk for heart disease.
Physically active people have a lower risk of getting high blood
pressure (20% to 50% lower) than inactive people.
You are not being asked to join a gym but at least try to fit
various physical activities into your daily routine in small but
important ways. If light physical activities done on regular
basis can reduce the risk of blood pressure and heart disease.
Do at least 30 minutes of exercise like swimming or running. If
you don't have 30 minutes for exercising, try to find two
15-minute periods or even three 10-minute periods. Try to do
some type of aerobic activity in the course of a week or try
brisk walking, most days of the week. These exercises can
condition your heart and lungs and can prevent you from
diseases. Most people don't need to see a doctor before they
start exercising, since a gradual, sensible exercise program has
few health risks. But in case of any health problem like, heart
disease, blood pressure problem or any other you should first
consult your physician. Your doctor or other health worker can
help you set sensible goals based on a proper weight for your
height, build and age and help you prevent high blood pressure.
Men and very active women may need up to 2,500 calories daily.
Other women and inactive men need only about 2,000 calories
daily. A safe plan is to eat 300 to 500 fewer calories a day to
lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.
