Lowering Your High Blood Pressure At Any Age
High blood pressure can increase your overall chances of death by 21%! This study will show you why.
A study was recently conducted to find out just how much difference it makes to lower blood pressure in elderly patients. The results were so dramatically clear that the study was halted early so that everyone participating could benefit.
The study was conducted in 13 countries at 195 different hospitals. 3,845 people participated with an average blood pressure of 173/91.
Over a period of four years the study was conducted there was a dramatic drop in mortality rates. The results were caused by a drop in average blood pressure from 173/91 to 150/61. Overall mortality dropped 21%. Death from cardiovascular events dropped 23%. There were 30% fewer strokes and in the strokes that did occur the patients were 39% less likely to die. The largest drop came from a 64% reduction in heart failure deaths.
As we see from this study high blood pressure can lead to a host of dangerous and deadly outcomes. Maintaining a healthy blood pressure should be very high on your health “To Do” List.
There are many ways to maintain healthy blood pressure. Here are some proven tactics to help you keep your blood pressure right where it needs to be:
* Start thinking of ways to have fun while exercising. There are so many ways to push yourself and have a great time. Measuring a persons activity level is one of the primary ways to determine how long a person will live. So get off the couch, get out there and use your body.
* If you smoke your blood pressure will rise. The negative health effects of smoking are overwhelming. You are pumping poison in your body and over time it will add up. Blood pressure is one of the things that will continue to climb because of smoking and the damage caused by smoke is almost irreversible.
* Eat raw fruits and veggies. The more fresh foods you can eat the healthier you will be. At each meal try to work in at least one item that is good for your body.
These three steps are just the beginning. Your body is a balanced system and must be maintained. If you make your health a priority you will out live those who don’t. Give my book a read if you care about your health and want to increase your energy and live longer.
