Sadly, different studies have shown that almost half of Americans today are overweight. And this statistic is not just limited to the adults. Almost 14% of Children now are overweight, compared to 5% only a few decades ago. Experts have agreed that this is so because people nowadays are exercising less than before. Also, the wrong kinds of food are finding their way into the kitchens of american families who are becoming more affluent. And while most schools require credits in Physical Education or JROTC for graduation, the growing number of overweight children tells us that these programs aren’t doing as well as we hope. It’s been long known that being overweight has direct links to hypertension. Since the body is forced to carry more weight than what nature designed it to, the heart works harder to compensate. It gets larger, then grows weaker as time passes. Arteries will also have the tendency to harden, obstructing the flow of blood around the body. Hypertension is marked by a blood pressure reading of over 120/80 mm Hg. Individuals who suffer from hypertension are at increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, dementia, blindness, and impotence. Studies have shown that overweight individuals are at a much greater risk of suffering from high blood pressure - up to three times more likely - than those who maintain the ideal weight for their height. Conventional hypertension treatments are all over the place. There are medical therapies and suggestions to exercise and eat healthier. But as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, less than one out of every three individuals suffering from hypertension actually avail of these treatments. Some of these treatments are expensive, while others have side effects which people would much rather do without. You can then say that they can exercise to reduce weight right? We all know that the most common reply would be, “I’m too lazy”, or “I don’t have time to exercise”, which just sounds more pleasing than “I’m too lazy.” So what’s the deal? Some of these treatments are effective, as I’ve tried some of them. Just a 10-pound reduction of body weight by exercise, weight reduction, and healthier diet, lowers blood pressure significantly. However, we are unwilling to give up those things that we enjoy. That is why I developed the Natural Blood Pressure Exercise Program. With the program, you don’t need long hours or extensive physical activities. You don’t even need to lose weight. What is does is it effectively lowers blood pressure by relieving the body of nerve tension and emotional stress. And all it requires is a conviction to spend a few minutes each week to do the exercises. These exercises helped me control my hypertension better than any other treatment I’ve tried before. The link to the program can be found on the upper-right-hand side of this website. Though it wouldn’t hurt to do something as simple as my exercises and shed a few pounds at the same time, would it?
