Blood Pressure Control
Control of blood pressure to prevent health problems and improve the quality of life.
High blood pressure, which is associated with increased cardiovascular disease not only is today one of the major health problems. His control is a method of prognosis and diagnosis of great value. Although not always known cause can be avoided various risk factors. In addition to change in lifestyle can almost immersed in stress, dietary patterns may contribute to a better control of blood pressure. There are plants that have traditionally been used in almost all cultures and periods, to regulate imbalances in blood pressure, both hypertension and low blood pressure.
In the “Seminar on Phytotherapy and circulatory heart”, held in Madrid in May 2000, was defined hypertension (HA) as a value of maximum or systolic pressure of 140-150 over, either minimum or diastolic pressure greater than 90-95. One could speak of hypertension after finding that a person is high on different days and records.
Factors associated with the HA, the Dr. Javier Macaroni referred to the inherited (in offspring of hypertensives is greater average blood pressure), environmental (more common in women aged 40-50 years, the importance of climate and lifestyle, food and labor), cardiovascular (increased vascular reactivity in the form of tachycardia) and renal (relating to the reabsorption of sodium).
Usually distinguishes between the essential or primary hypertension, the cause is unknown, the secondary HA, which may be a cause triggering the hypertensive process (cardiovascular, neurological, endocrine or renal).
The elevation in blood pressure occurs through two mechanisms. One is the increased volume of circulation, increasing systolic blood pressure, or maximum, which are effective substances which decrease the volume (diuretics). Another is that hypertension causes vasoconstriction due to increased peripheral resistance, which increases the diastolic or minimum and effectiveness which are substances that inhibit the sympathetic nervous system (vasodilators).

Secondary Hypertension
Yesterday we talked about the most common type of hypertension: primary hypertension. Today we see the causes and risk factors in the development of secondary hypertension.
This type of hypertension suffer 20% of hypertensives and the most important cause of disease or appearance is a health situation that favors development.
Among the risk factors for secondary hypertension are:
- Toxemia in pregnancy, ie the emergence of high pressure in pregnant women with no medical history of hypertension in your family.
- Stress is another factor that can lead to secondary hypertension, as well as workaholism and hyperactivity.
Tips To Prevent Hypertension
If you’re around 40, you smoke, clouds stress and eat poorly, it’s time to stop the car a bit of your metabolism and begin to think about your diet and your health.
This is the most vulnerable age for the onset of hypertension, ie, the pressure exerted by blood on the walls of arteries. High blood pressure is a risk factor for having a heart attack or stroke, so we must start early to avoid some symptoms.
It is true that some people are predisposed to having high blood pressure or inherited specific physical conditions, but the advance of hypertension can be controlled or prevented (in people without bias) with these simple tips:
