Preventing The Silent Killer

High blood pressure can affect anyone at any age, even young children. It was once known as an age related disease at one point in time. You may also know it as hypertension or the “silent killer”.

In order to avoid developing hypertension as you get older, you will need to start making some lifestyle changes today.

#1 Start getting exercise. Every day it may not be possible to get an intense workout in, but some exercise is better than none.

Try to do something you enjoy- take your dog for a walk, walk around the path at your local park or go for a swim. You can work your way up to a more intense workout from that point.

#2 Try eating more garlic. Garlic (fresh or powder form) helps to reduce the risk of the symptoms of high blood pressure, thus lessening the risk of you getting it in the long run. If you have an issue with garlic, there are supplements for it that can be used as well.

#3 Take more vitamin C. This is another way to reduce the risk of high blood pressure; it also develops good health and a lot of other good benefits. Vitamin C is found in fruits and vegetables or you can take supplements as well.

#4 Ask your doctor about CoQ10. This has been known to assist some doctors (who have tried it) to successfully wean high blood pressure patients off of their medications. CoQ10 is harmless and natural and it has no trace of the side effects that high blood pressure meds have.

Don’t think that it can’t happen to you; people get high blood pressure quite easily these days. It is more common during the winter months actually, due to all those home cooked meals you may have.

By learning to make these easy lifestyle changes, you will not only reduce the risk of developing pressure but also other life threatening disease.
