While it has always been warned that too much sodium could result in high blood pressure, new research is now showing that too much sugar, including drinking too much soda, may also have a similar effect on blood pressure as sodium. A new study reports that people who have a diet high in fructose, a type of sugar that is a main ingredient in high fructose corn syrup, had an increased chance in the development of high blood pressure.

A person who drinks more than two and a half cans of non-diet soda daily, or any equal value of fructose, has a much higher risk of developing hypertension by at least 30%. The more alarming find was that the fructose intake increases the risk for high blood pressure regardless of other dietary habits, such as carbohydrate, calorie and sodium intake control. The study focused on food products which contained a high level of high fructose corn syrup and other added sugars. Some of the food products tested including cookies, candy, chocolate, soda, and fruit punch. The researchers who conducted the study used 4,500 adults from the United States who had no history of high blood pressure, and analyzed their diet and blood pressure readings  over the course of 4 years. The test subjects were given detailed surveys to fill out that included the diet and blood pressure information as well as other health measurements such as physical activity and body mass index. Using the surveys, researchers estimated that the average fructose intake was 74 grams per day, which is equivalent to about 2.5 cans of soda.

Although the findings do not prove that a high intake of fructose do cause high blood pressure, there is an apparent link. There could have been several unknown factors that also contributed to the increase in blood pressure levels. It should also be noted that a significant drawback of the study was the fact that participants filled out their own dietary surveys based on memory and therefore the data, including fructose intake, could be slightly off. While the study may not prove the fact that fructose causes hypertension, a reduced sugar diet is highly recommended for other health reasons. High intakes of sugars can lead to serious medical complications such as diabetes. A healthy diet and plenty of exercise are great natural ways to lower high blood pressure, as well as maintain good overall heath.

With millions of people in the United States suffering from high blood pressure, there has been more emphasis on natural lifestyle changes to help stabilize hypertension. One of the easiest ways to naturally lower your blood pressure is through a healthy diet, especially low cholesterol foods. Our body produces two types of cholesterol – high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL). HDLs are known as the good cholesterol, while LDL is known as the bad. Too much LDL cholesterol can slowly cause buildup along the inner walls of the arteries, causing improper or poor blood flow to the brain and heart .HDL cholesterol is thought to be good for the body, as it has the tendency to send cholesterol away from the arteries and to the liver for removal from the body.

The human body is in need of HDL cholesterol so that it can properly protect against clogged blood vessels, which will help prevent or lower high blood pressure, as well as lower the risk for heart attacks. Excess LDL cholesterol can be harmful to the body, which is why a low cholesterol diet is crucial for your health. A great way to lower cholesterol levels is through natural supplements that are rich in lecithin oil, phytoseterols, tea catechins, and selenium theaflavin. Foods that are high in fiber are another great low cholesterol food supplement, as fiber is one of the most effective way to reduce cholesterol. Other natural food supplements that are good for lowering cholesterol are foods that are rich in Vitamins, specifically vitamin a, vitamin c, and vitamin e. Vitamin A helps to prevent the buildup of LDL cholesterol and plaque along the arteries, as well as help prevent cardiovascular disease. Vitamin C help protects the arteries and helps stabilize hypertension. Vitamin E is known to greatly reduce the risk of hypertension and other heart related conditions as it protects against the effects of oxidized LDL cholesterol.

If you want to successfully lower your cholesterol as well as your blood pressure, you need to change your eating habits. An overall healthy lifestyle is one of the best ways to protect your body from heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and a number of other serious medical conditions. A great start to a healthy diet is to avoid fast foods, as they are rich in salt, sodium, and other preservatives that are dangerous to your health, and can lead to hypertension and obesity. Avoid foods that are rich in fats, such as cream, French friends, cookies, sausages, fried chicken, and salami. The best diet will be low in fats and salt, and a healthy diet plus a good exercise routine is one of the best ways to naturally lower high blood pressure.

A Low Cholesterol Diet Can Lead To Lower Blood Pressure is a post from DropYourBloodPressure, a blog dedicated to information and news regarding high blood pressure and how to lower high blood pressure.

High blood pressure is a medical condition that causes increased pressure levels inside the blood vessels and can eventually lead to heart disease, stroke, and even death. There are several types of prescription drugs on the market to stabilize high blood pressure, and recent studies have shown that one type of the drugs – angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) – may also help with preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The study, released in the British Medical Journal, found that patients who took ARBs had a reduced risk of developing the two brain diseases. This study only reinforces previous claims by studies that stated uncontrolled high blood pressure increased the risk for dementia, therefore keeping your blood pressure under control would reduce the risk for the brain diseases.

While the study states that the ARBs may be the reason for the reduced risk for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, there are several different types of ARBs – candesartan (Atacand), irbesartan (Avapro), losartan (Cozaar), and valsartan (Diovan) – and it has not been determined what types of benefits and protections the drugs do for the brain. Researchers also noted that while the study showed that a specific mechanism of ARBs help protect against the brain conditions, more research is needed to determine whether other types of high blood pressure drugs such as beta blocker and ACE inhibitors have the same sort of effects.

The study, which used medical records of more than 819.000 patients – age 65 and older – from 2002 to 2006 from the U.S. Veterans Affairs health system, showed that patients who were taking ARBs were 19% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s or dementia when compared to those taking other types of high blood pressure drugs. If the patient were to be taking both ARB and an ACE inhibitor, the patients were 55% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and 46% less likely to develop dementia. Patients who were already suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease were to have delayed worsening of their conditions when on ARBs.

Although the study author stated that it is unclear how and why the ARBs might help prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s, the author did refer to animal studies in which ARBs helped protect the nerve cells from damage, as well as another idea that ARBs might prevent blood vessels in the brain from impairments that can occur from heart disease. High blood pressure effects millions of Americans, and can lead to more serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. There are several natural ways to lower high blood pressure, including healthy dieting, regular exercising, and an overall healthy lifestyle.

Increasing certain proteins in the blood vessels of mice has resulted in the relaxation of their vessels and essentially lower the blood pressure levels, researchers have found in a new study aimed at finding new ways to help lower high blood pressure. The study was conducted by researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), who partnered with other researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, and the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. According to Darryl Zeldin, M.D., senior author of the paper and acting clinical director of the NIEHS,

“The paper demonstrates that cytochrome P450 plays an important role in the management of high blood pressure, a disease of enormous public health concern.”

The researchers began the study by creating animal models in which they had a human cytochrome P450  (CYP450 or P450) in the cells that are found to line the blood vessels. In the mice that had P450, the researchers found that the P450 created more epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are known to protect the cardiovascular system as well as relax / dilate the blood vessels and fight inflammation. The animals with P450 were also found to have less damage to their kidneys as opposed to normal mice.

High blood pressure is an epidemic in the United States, with almost one in every three adults suffering from it according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. High blood pressure occurs when pressure levels in the blood vessels is elevated, which can lead to more serious conditions such as heart disease and stroke, which are two of the three leading causes of death in the United States. There are several ways to naturally lower high blood pressure, including lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and reducing stress levels. Other ways to lower high blood pressure include a low sodium diet and regular exercise. There are several risk factors for high blood pressure, including age, race, family history, and gender, and if you fall into the risk categories you should consult a doctor to see if you are showing early signs of high blood pressure. With almost 25% of people suffering from high blood pressure unaware they have the condition, you need to stay on top of your blood pressure levels.

Discovery Could Lead To Better Treatments To Lower High Blood Pressure is a post from DropYourBloodPressure, a blog dedicated to information and news regarding high blood pressure and how to lower high blood pressure.

A Vitamin D deficiency may be the cause behind some cases of high blood pressure a study released last year suggests. For several years it was just merely a theory that low levels of Vitamin D could put people at risk for hypertension, but the new study suggests that Vitamin D deficiencies in Caucasian women increases their risk for high blood pressure by nearly 300%. The study, which took place over 15 years, was conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health, took data from approximately 560 women between the ages of 24 and 44, with the average age being 38. Blood work and blood pressure readings were taken every year, and any vitamin and mineral deficiencies were also recorded. When the 15 year study was concluded in 2007, the researchers found a link between women with Vitamin D deficiencies and hypertension.

There are several contributing factors to healthy blood pressure levels, including behavioral factors like exercise and diet, but things like ethnicity and gender do contribute to your risk level of high blood pressure as well. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention have stated that African Americans are the most likely to have high blood pressure in their lifetime, with African American women being most at risk. The risk of an African American woman in the United States developing high blood pressure in her lifetime is around 45%, which is almost double that of a Caucasian woman which is around 28%.

The study allowed new insight into a new possibly dangerous cause of high blood pressure while also giving doctors a new way to help prevent the disease that is effecting millions of people in the United States, with nearly a quarter not even aware they are suffering from elevated blood pressure levels. Vitamin D is essential for overall health, especially bone health, which is why keeping high levels of Vitamin D is so important. Women have a greater chance of developing osteoporosis – a bone condition – and are highly encouraged to increase their calcium intake. After the release of this study, an increase in Vitamin D might also be a good idea to help fight off the chance of developing hypertension. Consume at least 400 IUs of Vitamin D daily, and as much as 600 IUs if you are over the age of 50. A great source of Vitamin D is the sun, even if you are spending as little as 10 minutes of direct sunlight per day. There are also several natural ways to lower high blood pressure, such as potassium and vitamin c, and a new revolutionary natural supplement called ion eXtra.

A  new study conducted by 22 countries worldwide has found that high blood pressure, along with smoking, are the biggest risk factors for a stroke. Using data from 6,000 people – 3,000 patients who had suffered a first and 3,000 controls – from 22 countries around the world, including countries in North America, South America, Asian, Africa, and Australia. This study was the first phase in a two phase study called INTERSTROKE, with the second phase looking at 20,000 patients from 27 countries, and will conclude in 2013.

High blood pressure has been known to be the leading cause of stroke in Europe and North America. The new study shows that high blood pressure is also the biggest cause of stroke elsewhere around the world, such as India and China. The study found that high blood pressure increased the chances of a stroke by 2 and half times, while the second high factor – smoking -  doubled the chances. 1/3 of all the strokes recorded were associated with high blood pressure, while 1/5 were linked to smoking. The Top 5 risk factors for stroke high blood pressure, smoking, waist to hip ratio (a measure of abdominal obesity), the daily intake of fruits and vegetables, and physical activity – these top 5 factors accounted for 80% of the total stroke risk. Other factors in the top 10 included diabetes, stress, heart disorders, the ratio of bad to good blood lipids (fats), alcohol intake, stress and depression – all contributing to 90% of stroke risk.

The study shows that high blood pressure is the leading risk factor in stroke around the world, not just in Europe and North America. According to Dr. Martin J. O’Donnell, with the Population Health Research Institute at Canada’s McMaster University, “they are important risk factors everywhere.” O’Donnell stated that the results are a great way to layout new health policies that can be aimed at helping reduce strokes. Strokes are the second leading cause of death throughout the world.

High blood pressure, which can easily be screened, can be treated with prescription medicines. The study helps solidify the need for more awareness and focus attributed to high blood pressure worldwide. On top of prescription medicine, there are several natural ways to lower high blood pressure, including ion eXtra, that can naturally lower high blood pressure.

Researchers at Michigan State University have released results from a study that shows a link between manic bipolar disorder and high blood pressure. The study found that of the patients hospitalized with bipolar disorder, nearly half suffered from high blood pressure. Also noted was that the younger the person who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, the greater their chances were of developing high blood pressure. The study – led by Dale D’Mello, a psychiatrist at Michigan State University – took data from 99 patients who were hospitalized for bipolar disorder. Connections between mental disorders and cardio-metabolic conditions – such as diabetes and heart disease – have already been established, and the new research could lead to more improved treatments now that a link to high blood pressure has been established. Bipolar disorder, often referred to as manic-depressive disorder, results in mood swings in patients ranging from depression to mania, or mental hyperactivity. The study also showed that bipolar patients who suffer from high blood pressure developed higher levels of mania.

The data analyzed in the study showed that patients suffering from bipolar disorder were 45% more likely to have high blood pressure then 30.5% in general population. Of the 99 patients assessed between 2002 and 2006, about half of the patients were males with a mean blood pressure of 137 / 83 mm Hgg, and a body mass index BMI of 30. Also to be noted was that there was a high number of smokers in the study and that 37% of the patients were obese. According to D’Mello:

“Our study suggests the possibility of a link [between bipolar and hypertension].”

While the data does suggest a link between bipolar disorder and high blood pressure, the underlying cause of the association is uncertain. D’Mello did note “there were many confounding factors we didn’t control for in this study.” Certain antipsychotic drugs that patients could have been taking earlier in their lives have been found to lead to metabolic syndrome, and therefore may play a part in the development of high blood pressure. The study does provide hope – if bipolar disease does in fact increase the likelihood of developing high blood pressure, they could come up with newer, safer treatments for bipolar patients. D’Mello concluded:

“As psychiatrists we have the opportunity to manage and perhaps prevent a physical disorder.”

An international team of researchers has released a report that shows that adolescent males that have normal blood pressure may are three to four times more likely to develop high blood pressure then females. The report, published online on June 14^th in Hypertension, took data on 23,191 males and 2,789 females and analyzed their blood pressure and body max index (BMI) through period readings from age 17 to 42. Over the 25 year period, the analyzed data showed that 14% of the subjects had developed high blood pressure.

The data analyzed in the study also showed that boys who had shown normal blood pressure and BMI readings during their teenage years were four times more likely to develop high blood pressure then women. Other findings of the study include:

• Teenage boys with systolic blood pressure over 110, and in the upper normal weight range, had a risk of high blood pressure that increased by 1% per year.
• BMI at age 17 was a strong factor in the future risk of high blood pressure for both males and females. The relationship between BMI and blood pressure was stronger for boys, and the risk of high blood pressure for boys was held the same throughout the entire BMI range.
• Girls who were considered to be clinically obese – a BMI of 30 or higher – were the only group of girls that had any significant increase in risk of high blood pressure. This data allowed researchers to theorize that estrogen, the female sex hormone, may protect against high blood pressure.
• The blood pressure values of boys were higher than that of girls, though the boys had a lower mean BMI.

The study, performed by the Israeli Defense Forces, was known as the Metabolic, Lifestyle, and Nutrition Assessment in Young Adults (MELANY) Study. Dr. Amir Tirosh, M.D., Ph.D., was one of the study’s lead authors, as well as a fellow in the Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Hypertension at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, stated the following:

“Blood pressure values well below the hypertensive range already can serve as good predictors for future hypertension,” and “The rate of progression to hypertension is higher in teen-agers whose systolic blood pressure is 110 versus those whose blood pressure is 100 and is different between boys and girls.”

There are several risk factors of high blood pressure, including obesity and family history. While there are no real symptoms of high blood pressure, you can be precautious through regular blood pressure testing. Regular exercise, a diet consisting of low sodium and high potassium & vitamin c, as well as regular visits with your doctor are great ways to stay ahead of hypertension. If you are one of the millions of people who already have high blood pressure, there are several natural ways to lower high blood pressure. There are also natural supplements on the market, such as ion eXtra, which offer a natural alternative to the prescription high blood pressure medicines that may be linked to cancer that most doctors are prescribing. High blood pressure is a serious medical condition that many people are unaware they are even suffering some, so please practice regular visits to your doctor to ensure you are healthy.

With the new study released this week that shows a possible link between high blood pressure medicine and cancer, a new focus on natural ways to lower high blood pressure is necessary. The study showed that angiotensin-receptor blockers, or ARBs – a common medicine prescribed to people with high blood pressure – was shown to increase patient’s risk of lung cancer. Many people are already moving away from prescription medicines and going the natural route for several reasons, including side effects of blood pressure medicines.

There are several proven ways to lower high blood pressure, most of which include simple things like changes to one’s lifestyle. For instance, if you smoke – QUIT. The nicotine found in tobacco and cigarettes causes your blood pressure levels to rise, as well as causes an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, brain disease, and stroke. A large portion of our society is overweight, and obesity is a leading factor when it comes to high blood pressure – a new diet and proper exercise are great, healthy ways to help lower high blood pressure. Other natural ways to lower high blood pressure include natural supplements, reducing stress in your life, and limiting alcohol consumption.

Change Your Diet

One of the easiest natural ways to lower high blood pressure is to adjust your diet.
A healthy diet not only helps lower high blood pressure but will also greatly impact your overall healthy. Cut back on foods that are high in sodium, as too much sodium can cause your body to retain excess wastes. 2,000mg of salt is the recommended daily intake for sodium, so as long as you don’t go above that you should be fine. You should also try to include as many fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet as you can. Limit the amount of meat that you eat daily to around 6oz to cut back on saturated fats and cholesterol that can lead to hypertension. If you drink alcohol, limit yourself to the following: one 12oz beer, one 5oz glass of wine, 1.5oz of 80-proof liquor. Anything more than that for both men and women can lead to elevated blood pressure levels. You don’t have to remove caffeine drinks such as coffee from your diet. Caffeine has only been found to temporarily increase your blood pressure, however some beverages such as sodas that contain caffeine also contain other chemicals that can be harmful to your body. There are also several nutritional supplements for high blood pressure that you should be sure to increase within your diet. These nutritional supplements include potassium, calcium, vitamin c, and coenzyme q10.

Increase Exercise

Before you start any sort of new exercise routine you should consult your doctor or a medical professional to be sure that you are healthy enough to be exercising. If your doctor gives you the go ahead, exercise is a great to start lowering your blood pressure naturally. A great way to start getting into exercise is to do a light cardio routine, either by walking or jogging. Go at your own pace, but be sure to do at least 1 mile per routine. Any exercise that gets your heart rate elevated as well as your breathing is good for your blood pressure. If you aren’t up to a jogging / walking routine, there are other ways to get out and do aerobic exercises such as mowing the lawn or taking your pet dog for a walk. Even climbing stairs has the ability to get your heart rate and breathing levels up. As little as 30 minutes of aerobic exercise a few days a week is enough to start getting your body in shape and lowering your blood pressure.

Natural Supplements

There are several natural supplements available to take the place of prescription medicine. ion eXtra is a new natural supplement that has been proven to lower high blood pressure ion eXtra helps fight these causes of high blood pressure by releasing a package of electrolytes throughout your body. As the electrolytes are distributed throughout the body, the blood path ways are quickly restored as pressure begins to lessen and capillaries are regenerated. Active Signal is the only ingredient on the market right now that has been proven to reduce the effects of high blood pressure. The electrolytes that are available in Active Signal have also been found to help other conditions including skin disease, asthma, type-2 diabetes, auto-immune conditions, and even hay fever.

Reduce Stress In Your Life

One of the strongest factors of high blood pressure is stress. Free your mind of stressful thoughts by keeping busy – read a book, play a sport, etc. It may not seem like much, but even something as simple as using breathing exercises to calm yourself down can help  lower high blood pressure. Slow breathing and meditation – tai chi, yoga, qigong – can help reduce stress and help your overall health. High levels of stress have been found to contribute to other health conditions, including heart attacks and strokes.

If you increase the overall health of your body, you can greatly decrease your chances of developing high blood pressure. Obesity is one of the leading factors of high blood pressure, and staying in shape through a healthy diet and exercise are great ways to help reduce your blood pressure while contributing to your overall wellness. Just because you may have elevated blood pressure levels does not mean you have to let high blood pressure control your life. By following these natural ways to lower high blood pressure, you have the ability to beat the odds and live a long, healthy life.

Natural Ways To Lower High Blood Pressure is a post from DropYourBloodPressure, a blog dedicated to information and news regarding high blood pressure and how to lower high blood pressure.

A new study published Sunday in the British medical journal The Lancet Oncology suggests that certain blood pressure medicines could be linked to a reasonably increase in the patient’s risk of cancer. The researchers were unable to come up with exact increases in risk so they are urging for more research into the topic. Many cancer and hear experts, however, are skeptical about the research and do not absolutely agree with the conclusions.

The study took place at the University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Researchers at the medical center compiled the results from nine existing case studies to compile data for over 60,000 patients. The report states that analyzing the data yielded a 1.2% increase of cancer risk for patients taking angiotensin-receptor blockers, or ARBs, over a four year period. ARBs treats high blood pressure by halting the chemical angiotensin II from causing any effect on the blood vessels and heart. Dr. Ilke Sipahi, a heart failure expert, states that current data suggests that compared to placebos, patients taking ARBs had about a 10% increase in the risk of a cancer diagnosis. Lung cancer was found to have the highest risk according to the study, but the study does not conclude or explain as to why ARBs could cause cancer.

On top of the newly published report, Dr. Steven Nissen, chairman of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, suggests in an accompanying editorial that the analysis requires “urgent regulatory review” to see if the link between the ARBs and cancer that the study suggests is substantiated. On the other hand, Dr. Nicholas Vogelzang, an expert on several cancers and spokesman for the American Society of Clinical Oncology, is skeptical for several reasons. For one, he says “there is no direct mechanism to lung cancer should go up, but breast cancer went down”. He also states that ARB medicines did not even hit the market until 1995, and that most cancers take at least 40 years to develop, which would mean that there might not be enough time for the ARBs to effect the cancer. Dr. Michael Thun from the American Cancer Society states the same concerns as Dr. Vogelzang –

“If the drugs caused this, then the increased cancer risk appeared much more quickly than is usually the case for solid tumors.”

Dr. Clyde Yancy, President of the American Heart Association and a user of ARBs to control his high blood pressure, stated –

“These data raise a question, and a question only, regarding ARBs and the risk of cancer. Only non-small cell lung cancer was statistically increased and the extent of the increase was quite modest. We usually describe these kinds of findings as a ‘signal’ but given the modest result, perhaps this is more of a hint.”

Yancy stated that he will continue to take the ARBs prescribed to him and that the results of the study did not change his opinion. Dr. Sipahi, who wrote the study, stated –

“This is the first time an association between ARBs and cancer development is suggested,” Dr. Sipahi continued. “While our findings are robust, they need to be replicated in other studies before they can be considered as definitive.”

Sipahi concluded that he will still continue to prescribe ARBs to patients with high blood pressure because the small numbers produced by the study suggest that the patients have a greater risk of dying from a heart complication than the slight increased risk of cancer.
