Lower your Blood Pressure in time

The scientific evidence indicates that reducing sodium intake lowers blood pressure and associated risks in many but not all hypertensive individuals. There is also evidence that reducing sodium intake lowers blood pressure and associated risks in many [[Page 128]] but not all normotensive individuals as well. About 73 percent of adults with diabetes have high blood pressure — which in diabetic patients is defined as greater than or equal to 130/80 mm Hg — or use prescription medications for their hypertension. Both diabetes and high blood pressure are major risk factors for coronary heart disease, and when both are present, significantly increase the risk for developing heart and kidney diseases. Of the GIC enrollees screened, 60% of women and 68% of men had pre-hypertensive blood pressure readings.

The prevalence of hypertension increases with age; more than half of those over 60 have hypertension. Stevo Julius reported that even people with "borderline" hypertension may sustain damage to their heart and blood vessels. Such patients, argued Julius, should seek more aggressive blood-pressure treatment to lower their risk.

Effective management of hypertension results in highly significant reductions in premature death and disability from heart disease and stroke. Results from large-scale trials show that a 5 mm Hg reduction in diastolic blood pressure corresponds to a 21% reduction in heart disease risk. Many adverse health and psychological effects are associated with overweight and obesity in children and adolescents such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, asthma, and depression. Overweight or obese conditions during this vulnerable time period also lead to increased morbidity and mortality in the person’s adult life.  Eating fewer calories than you burn will help you lose weight. And losing weight will help lower your blood pressure. People who are overweight should try and lose weight. It is also important to take regular exercise and reduce stress. Always consult your GP before undertaking any form of weight loss, fitness or exercise. 

If obstructive sleep apnea is diagnosed, initial management should be on weight loss for overweight and obese patients. If obstructive sleep apnea is moderate to severe, then continuous positive airway pressure treatment should be instituted. It has shown to be effective at reversing degenerative diseases such as all types of cancers, diabetes, liver disorders, high blood pressure, and obesity.
