Prevent Hypertension
Why control the pressure
High blood pressure is the most important risk factor for heart disease. If your blood pressure stays within healthy levels, reduces the burden placed his heart, arteries and kidneys, which keeps you healthier longer.
High blood pressure, also called hypertension, means that blood flows through your arteries makes it too hard and puts pressure on your arteries, stretching them beyond the healthy limit and causing microscopic tears. Our body then begins to function in the way of healing from injury to repair these tears with scar tissue. But unfortunately the plaque and scar tissue traps white blood cells, which can become obstructions, blood clots and hardened arteries and weakened. If you keep your blood pressure at healthy levels:
1. Reduces the risk of the walls of blood vessels to stretch too much or being injured
2. Reduce the risk that your arteries are blocked, which also protects your heart and your brain
3. Protect your entire body so that tissues are regularly supplied with oxygen-rich blood it needs.

Potassium Helps Prevent Hypertension
One study showed that increasing potassium intake through food (you must click here to find foods rich in potassium) would reduce the risk of developing hypertension would lower the pressure and hypertensive individuals.
Hypertension is the leading cause of medical consultation and drug consumption in the United States, explained two studies conducted in Nashville, Tennessee, and published in a special supplement of the Journal of Clinical Hypertension. Doctors Mark C. Houston, School of Medicine, Vanderbilt University, and Karen J. Harper, of Harper Medical Communications, Inc., in Nashville, said the adequate intake of potassium is one of the reasons why vegetarians have a low incidence of heart disease.
In isolated societies that have a reduced sodium diet rich in fruits and vegetables, thus providing a high level of potassium, hypertension affects only 1% of the population. The typical American diet contains twice the sodium and potassium than half the recommended dietary guidelines. The low level of potassium favors the prevalence of hypertension in the U.S..
