And while most schools require credits in Physical Education or JROTC for graduation, the growing number of overweight children tells us that these programs aren’t doing as well as we hope.
We all know that being overweight is directly correlated to hypertension. The heart tends to work harder when the body is carrying more weight than it should. this makes it grow larger, then weaker as time goes by.
Hardening of the arteries may also happen, which impedes the blood from circulating around the body.
A Blood pressure reading of over 120/80 mm Hg is an indication of hypertension. An individual with hypertension is more likely to suffer heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, dementia, blindness, and impotence.
There have been studies saying that people who are overweight have a higher risk of getting high blood pressure – up to three times more likely – than those who are not.
Conventional hypertension treatments are all over the place. There are medical therapies and suggestions to exercise and eat healthier. But as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, less than one out of every three individuals suffering from hypertension actually avail of these treatments.
Some of these treatments are expensive, while others have side effects which people would much rather do without.
You can then say that they can exercise to reduce weight right? We all know that the most common reply would be, “I’m too lazy”, or “I don’t have time to exercise”, which just sounds more pleasing than “I’m too lazy.”
So what’s the deal?
I’ve tried some of the treatments mentioned above myself, and they all do carry a measure of effectiveness. Exercising, weight reduction, and a healthier diet lowers the blood pressure considerably – even a 10-pound reduction of body weight will show significant improvements.
Still, not all of us are willing to part with the little joys in life. That’s where my Natural Blood Pressure Exercise Program comes in.
With the program, you don’t need long hours or extensive physical activities. You don’t even need to lose weight. What is does is it effectively lowers blood pressure by relieving the body of nerve tension and emotional stress.
Only a few minutes each week is required to do the program.
I am healthier and my hypertension is better controlled by doing these exercises than the other treatments I’ve tried before. Please click on the link found at the upper-right-hand side of this website.
Though it wouldn’t hurt to do something as simple as my exercises and shed a few pounds at the same time, would it?
