A touch of pressure
Jamaica Observer – Apr 10, 2008
MANAGEMENTAll pre-hypertensive and hypertensive persons need to make lifestyle modifications in order to protect important organs against the ravages of elevated blood pressures. Here are my recommendations:. Lose weight – Weight loss, as small as 10 pounds in overweight persons, may significantly decrease blood pressure. Research has demonstrated that for every 2. 2 pounds lost, systolic and diastolic blood pressures are lowered by 2. 5 mm Hg respectively… Limit alcohol to two drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women. Exercise – Regular aerobic exercise can promote weight loss, lower blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular fitness. Most persons benefit from 30 to 45 minutes of brisk walking three to four times each week. Be careful what you eat – Eat more fruits, vegetables, nuts, low-fat dairy foods, wholegrain products, fish, poultry; eat foods that are rich in magnesium, potassium and calcium; reduce foods that are high in saturated fat and cholesterol; eat less red meat and sweets. Restrict sodium to less than one teaspoon (2400 mg) of salt per day.
