Top 6 Proven Strategies for Daily High Blood Pressure Management

-
  Introduction Managing high blood pressure is crucial for maintaining long-term health, especially for those at risk of heart disease. Here, we explore six vital daily practices that can significantly influence your blood pressure levels. 1. Eliminate Smoking Smoking increases blood pressure temporarily, and habitual smoking can lead to sustained hypertension. Avoid all forms of tobacco, including smokeless products, to reduce health risks and manage blood pressure more effectively. 2. Maintain a Healthy Weight Being overweight often correlates with higher blood pressure. Shedding even a moderate amount of weight can have a significant impact on your blood pressure levels. Aim for a balanced diet and regular physical activity for gradual and sustainable weight loss. 3. Adopt a Heart-Healthy Diet A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fish, whole grains, and low-fat dairy can help lower blood pressure. Limit salt intake, as it's a known contributor to hypertension.

PLoS Med: metabolic surgery helps to treat hypertension

-

 September 17, 2020 / BIOON / - - metabolic surgery, such as gastric bypass grafting and gastric sleeve surgery, not only effectively treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, but also benefit obese patients with high blood pressure, according to a new study led by Erik Stenberg of erebro University, and can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and death. The results were published in the recent journal PLoS Medicine.



Hypertension, especially when combined with morbid obesity, is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Metabolic surgery has been shown to reduce the risk of many diseases commonly associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and sleep apnea, but it is not clear whether surgery is also effective in treating hypertension. To assess whether metabolic surgery is beneficial for obese and hypertensive patients, the researchers compared two groups of people with these diseases: one group had metabolic surgery, while the control group did not. Individuals in these groups were matched by age, gender, and location, and the researchers took into account other factors, such as other health conditions and educational levels. The metabolic surgery group had a lower risk of "major adverse cardiovascular events" such as stroke, heart attack or cardiac arrest, and a lower risk of death from any cause. Overall, 3.2% of the surgical group had severe adverse cardiovascular events, compared with 4.5% in the control group.

This new study shows that metabolic surgery is effective in treating hypertension in individuals with BMI ≥ 35kg / m2. Metabolic surgery may not be a global solution for the prevalence of obesity, but because these related diseases cause so many deaths and diseases around the world, it should be considered as an effective choice for the treatment of obese and hypertensive patients.

How does the life of pulmonary hypertension patient recuperate

Introduction Living with pulmonary hypertension (PH) brings unique challenges. This guide offers insights into recuperating from PH, focusing on lifestyle adaptations that can significantly improve patients' well-being. The Importance of Adequate Rest   For PH patients, rest isn't just beneficial; it's essential. Adequate rest helps alleviate fatigue and reduces stress on the heart and lungs, critical for those with PH. Why Altitude Matters in PH   The role of altitude in PH cannot be overstated. Higher altitudes exacerbate symptoms due to reduced oxygen levels. Patients are advised to reside at lower altitudes or take precautions when traveling to high-altitude areas. Avoiding Blood Pressure Extremes Activities that can cause sudden changes in blood pressure, such as prolonged exposure to heat in saunas or baths, should be avoided. These can lead to dangerous drops in blood pressure and increase the risk of fainting or more severe complications. The Power of Relaxation
