Lowering High Blood Pressure
Is Critical

Lowering high blood pressure is critical to overcoming a number of health risks. Individuals who have high blood pressure are at an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Further, long-term exposure to high blood pressure leads to kidney failure and heart failure. In other words, if you have high blood pressure, treating it is critical to saving your life.

High blood pressure occurs when there's too much strain on the arteries that lead away from the heart. If you can imagine a balloon inflated when you blow into it, it's like the straining against the walls of the balloon.

If too much air is pushed into the balloon, the pressure against the walls of the balloon will cause it to burst. Under normal conditions, though, the balloon works fine. The same is true of the heart. When there's too much strain against the heart's artery walls, the walls can burst.

However, there are other risks for high blood pressure, too.

When pressure in the arteries is too strong, this causes the heart to work harder. The harder the heart works, the higher the risk of it failing.

In addition, this also leads to the formation of blood clots. Blood clots are thickened amounts of blood. When the clots flow into the heart, the brain, or even into the lungs, it could lead to death.

Getting Help In Controlling Your Blood Pressure

Before we can be effective in lowering high blood pressure, we first have to know our pressure is not within the normal guidelines.

And here alone within the USA almost a third of nation with high blood pressure doesn’t know they have it. While two-fifths who do know they have it aren’t receiving any treatment and another two-thirds receiving treatment are not meeting their goals of controlling it.

Elsie was a healthy looking 58-year-old woman with no apparent medical problems. She was one of those people who rarely got sick, so she didn’t see the need to see a doctor…there was no need for it plus she was busy living her life. But one day without warning Elsie suddenly began to feel weak and confused. The left-side of her body went numb, she suffered a stroke. That was her first sign of hypertension.

When Elsie came to me on wanting to make sustainable lifestyle changes a permanent part of her life, I realized like Elsie, 4 out of 5 people are completely unaware that they have hypertension at all. Unlike chronic coughs that may signal a respiratory disorder, there are no warning signs of hypertension hammering away at your organs for many years.

Know that you and your health professional can turn this around starting right now by sitting down, writing an outline for the successful treatment plan, and then joining one that is effective and helpful.

It is good to know that no one need ever have a heart attack, or kidney failure as a result of high blood pressure. So, when it comes to reducing high blood pressure, the first step is to make lifestyle changes including reducing your weight and being physically active.

But you need to know where you are going, how do you go about achieving your treatment goal of, and what your particular goal depends on your present blood pressure levels:

If you have normal blood pressure, that is less than 120/80 mm Hg, you want to keep it that way.
If you already have complications of high blood pressure, and you want to prevent them from progressing and ever reverse them if possible.

However, I must remind you that it's just as important to maintain a healthy blood pressure with medications and/or supplements.

Without a way to effectively lower blood pressure, complications may develop. Lowering high blood pressure is critical to long-term health.
