Hypertension
Which is it?
Hypertension is the increase in blood pressure chronically. It’s a disease no symptoms for a long time and, if untreated, can trigger severe complications such as myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage or thrombosis, which can be avoided if handled properly. The first consequences of hypertension are suffered arteries that harden as they bear high blood pressure continuously, thicken and may be impeded the passage of blood through it. This is known as atherosclerosis.
Causes
The mechanism of hypertension most common, called “essential hypertension”, “primary” or “idiopathic”. In essential hypertension have not yet described the specific causes, but has been linked with a number of factors that are usually present in most people who suffer. Should be separated from those related to heredity, sex, age and race and rarely modifiable, those that could be changed by varying habits, environment, and morals of individuals, such as obesity, sensitivity sodium, excessive alcohol consumption, oral contraceptive use and a very sedentary lifestyle.

Fruits and minerals against hypertension
Hypertension is a dangerous disease that affects more and more patients if they do not know that fruits and minerals can help. Many experts recommend reducing salt and animal fat to fight or help reduce hypertension. Although people sule improve a bit in many cases the result can be daunting.
A study I conclude that a significant increase in daily intake of fruit if it was of immeasurable help. It appears that fiber from fruit, pectin, together with the antioxidant effects of the fruit. An increase ateoría prostacyclin is that it is a hormonal substance that would promote dilation of blood vessels thus reducing blood pressure.
Is it true that vitamin C is effective against hypertension?
The investigator Paul F. Jacques, at Tufts Universidasd in the U.S., found that patients with lower intake of fruit and especially low levels of vitamin C were two to three times more likely to suffer from hypertension. If we add to that fruits also contain fiber (as discussed earlier) results are more logical.

What is Hyperlipidemia?
We know that our body ingests and produces two types of lipids: cholesterol and triglycerides. When levels of any of these blood fats we are looking at a picture of hyperlipidemia. This means that the altered levels of cholesterol or triglycerides in the blood is hyperlipidemia.
This picture may be inherited or occur as a result of an unbalanced diet rich in fats.
The types of hyperlipidaemia are:
Hypercholesterolaemia: Increased low density lipoprotein (LDL), what we call bad cholesterol. Bad cholesterol unlike the good (HDL, LDL) in the body travels in the opposite direction from the liver to other tissues. When there is excess cholesterol in the blood is deposited in the arteries and that’s when we have the risk of heart disease by clogging.
Benefits And Types of Rice
Rice is a universal food that is present in the food of almost all countries. We have seen in its nutrition. Nutrition, among which stands out to be a rich source of carbohydrates (gives energy) and be one of the low-calorie foods.
Here are the types of rice that can be found on the market and the benefits of this food to our health:
Types of rice
- Brown rice: although it takes longer to cook (from 40 to 45 minutes), is the most nutritious and richer in starch. This is because to maintain the shell keeps the B vitamins and fiber. There are two variants of rice: long grain and short grain.
- White rice: Rice is the most widely traded. No shell and polished so it’s less rich in nutrients the integral. We also find long and short grain.
- Basmati rice: it is a variety grown in the Himalayan foothills in northern India. As its name implies, basmati means fragrant rice is the most commonly used in gourmet cooking for their excellent flavor and aroma. He was also found in Indian cuisine, hot and cold dishes.

Fiber In Cereals
Fiber is an essential nutrient in the diet and need to know what foods to eat to meet the basic needs of daily fiber.
We have seen more foods rich in fiber, we will now see a table with the fiber content per 100 grams of cereals over consume. Remember that fiber is essential to prevent hypertension, hemorrhoids, bad cholesterol and heart problems.
- White bread contains 2.7 grams of fiber.
- Pan burger contains 2, 5 grams.
- Corn flakes without whip containing 4, 3 grams of fiber.
- Oatmeal Cookies have 1.9 grams. Read the rest of this entry »

Increases Hypertension Among Spanish
Experts call for a more generic intervention to prevent cardiovascular events in people at high risk, and also recommend smoking cessation and reducing salt intake
More than 200 experts in hypertension have gathered in Seville to celebrate Hypertension Annual Meeting organized by the Spanish Society of Cardiology (ESC). At the meeting were released the results of several studies related to the treatment of hypertension (HTA) conducted in primary care and cardiology services, an example of these is the TABARCA study that analyzes the influence of snuff in cardiovascular complications in patients admitted to hospital for an acute coronary syndrome.
Another central thrust of the meeting has been prevention in patients at high risk if, as says Dr. Pilar Mazon, president of the Hypertension Section of the SEC, “we must move towards a more vigorous intervention, both pharmacological as reinforcing the changes in lifestyle, with special emphasis on the abandonment of snuff, including smoking cessation drugs. It should consider the cardiovascular risk in a comprehensive manner, taking into account renal function and extracardiac vascular level.
Christmas Menu For Hypertensive
The Christmas menu for hypertension must be tasty without salt. How is this done? Using herbs, spices, salt without sodium, appropriate condiments and ingenuity.
But it must also be low in saturated fat, moderate or no alcohol and lots just for not overeating.
If you want to keep your health and your family take note of the food choices that fit today I have selected, so you can build the menu over Christmas and enjoy.

Chocolate for Hypertension
A small amount of dark chocolate every day helped reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. That’s the conclusion of a study conducted by researchers at the University Hospital of Cologne in Germany. According to the researchers, eating about 30 calories of chocolate each day could have positive effects on blood pressure are the side effects like weight gain.
Previously, other studies had shown that consumption of large amounts of foods containing cocoa can lower blood pressure. This is believed to be flavonoids, chemicals that contain certain plants and believed to be responsible for the beneficial health effects.
“In the past it was thought that flavonoids were anti-nutrients” said Lorraine Agostini, nutrition expert at the University of Seville, Spain.” That is, acting against nutrition. But since the 90s began research on the health benefits of foods containing: cocoa, red wine and fruits and vegetables.”
Potassium In Hypertension
Potassium in hypertension is a recurring theme since the drugs used to control this condition have diuretic effect.
It is important for controlling hypertension and fluid retention on the heart is required to have to pump more blood.
But the intake of diuretics may have adverse effects, which is why their consumption is not recommended without prescription and supervision of a physician. Besides helping to remove accumulated fluid, urine is discarded with more potassium than it should.

Cardiovascular Adaptation To Exercise
Heart rate
Among the cardiovascular changes observed a decrease in heart rate (heart beats per minute) at rest and during performance of a submaximal exercise intensity, no perceptible changes in heart rate usually peak with training. That is, the same mechanical stress (eg running at 12 km / h) before training could make an effort for the agency regarding heart rate of 140 beats / min. and after 4 weeks of aerobic training lead 130 bpm. Undoubtedly it is a positive development and improved cardiovascular fitness. The heart rate therefore is a parameter easy to measure, which quantifies in a practical and real intensity cardiovascular exertion level. Their knowledge allows us to objectify the intensity of exercise and prescribe training loads based on this parameter. Also we carry out a transfer of the effort in Ergometries (stress tests performed in the exercise physiology laboratories) to the sporting arena. For this reason, more and more often, athletes in their training and competitions, mainly endurance athletes, who use heart rate monitors, telemetry, allow them to know at any time heart rate.
