SIX WAYS TO HELP HYPERTENSION

Monday, February 28th, 2011
If your doctor has diagnosed hypertension, then co-operate with him in controlling this ailment. The American Heart Association offers six helpful suggestions:
1.   Try not to worry. Worry, nervous tension and emotional storms all help push up blood pressure.
2.   Keep your weight normal. Overweight is a health hazard.
3.   Follow your doctor’s advice on the use of tobacco and alcohol. Smoking raises blood pressure in some people. Alcohol does not raise blood pressure; a moderate amount may even reduce it by releasing nervous tension. But some people react poorly to alcohol. Always follow your doctor’s specific advice for you.
4.   Get plenty of sleep. Take a short nap or two during the day if you can arrange it. Blood pressure is lowest during sleep and rises during waking hours.
5.   Choose sports that are not competitive. Exercise is good for you, but avoid overexertion at any time.
6.   Rest before you are tired. You’ll find that you can do more in the long run.
