Description:In order to understand hypertension, it is first necessary to understand what blood pressure is and how it occurs.Hypertension, or high blood pressure as it's more commonly known, is a serious health problem that affects many Americans. Over time, the damage that it causes to blood vessels can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and other medical conditions.High blood pressure can go unnoticed for years, which is why it is called the "silent killer." Many people do not display symptoms until it is too late. A diet designed to fight high blood pressure is one of the many ways you can reduce your risk of developing hypertension.The DASH (dietary approaches to stop hypertension) diet is one method. This diet aims to reduce high blood pressure by reducing your intake of fat, sodium, and alcohol. If you're looking to reduce your blood pressure, this diet also recommends eating foods that are rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium.The DASH diet also recommends introducing more low-fat protein into your diet, as well as whole grains and lots of fruits and vegetables. This includes leafy greens, potatoes, beets, and fruits like berries and bananas. Drinking skim milk is another way to reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure as well. Consuming the right types of grains (six to eight servings a day) is also a good way to reduce your high blood pressure. The trendy quinoa and certain kinds of cereals are staples for reducing blood pressure.Blood does not move through the circulatory system by itself. Rather, it is forced through the circulatory system by the heart. The force of the heart's muscular contractions exert pressure onto the blood, forcing it to flow through the blood vessels. The blood vessel walls contain the force exerted by the heart, pushing back on the blood and providing it only one avenue of forward movement; through the circulatory system in a continual loop.Blood pressure is thus the result of two sets of forces - the force of the heart and the resistance of the vessel walls - coming together to push the blood through the body's circulatory system.Blood pressure is not constant or flat; rather it is cyclical or wavy. The heart beats and relaxes again and again in a steady rhythm. If one was to graph the force exerted by the heart as it plays out over time, a waveform would result, with peaks and troughs corresponding respectively to heart beats and resting periods. As the heart beats, it exerts force on the blood, increasing the overall blood pressure. As the heart relaxes between beats, there is less force exerted onto the vessels and the blood pressure lowers. This moment to moment up and down cycling of blood pressure is normal and continues throughout a person's life.In addition to the blood pressure being wavy due to the alternation of heart beats and resting periods, the total average blood pressure is also dynamic and always changing in response to the amount of arousal people experience. During exercise, for example, the heart beats faster and with more force in each beat, compared to the resting state and the total average blood pressure changes accordingly. If you go from sitting to standing your blood pressure will change slightly. If you go from walking to running your blood pressure will change slightly. Therefore your blood pressure may vary from one measurement to the next.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
