MEDICAL TREATMENT
In general, treatments should be initiated when the average diastolic pressures for three or four months is equal to or greater than 100 mm Hg.
If smaller, to start treatment, there must be other risk factors at once, such as cardiac injury (ventricular hypertrophy, renal failure, etc.) or other risk factors (diabetes, family history of cardiovascular disease).
Must attempt to maintain the diastolic pressure below 90 mm Hg, using a treatment that the patient tolerated well. Diuretics are often used in the treatment of hypertension because, as scavengers of fat help the heart function is optimized.
Essential hypertension, ie, of unknown cause, no cure and patients must be treated with diet or drugs lifetime.
COMPLICATIONS
Maintaining a high Blood Pressure for a long period of years and not treat it can lead to many complications. Some of the most important cardiac complications such as arteriosclerosis and hypertensive heart disease.
On the other hand, excess weight contributes to increased cardiac work. Obesity is associated with hypertension largely in part because the obese have increased insulin through a lower flow of the renal circulation produces a retention of salt (sodium).
A diet low in calories (1200 cal) with low fat intake can occur for every 10 kg of weight loss decreased 10 mm Hg.
In some people reduce weight is sufficient to control Blood Pressure. It is recommended to decrease in hypertensive or better leave the snuff and drinks with caffeine, which has a short-term effect of increasing the TA, but there is clear evidence that regular use may contribute to sustained hypertension. However, the use of snuff can accelerate the process of atherosclerosis in people with hypertension. Moreover, habitual alcohol abuse may contribute to the development and maintenance of hypertension.
Regardless of the health condition you have, the blood pressure of any person is not constant but suffers many normal variations during the day, but always measured at rest.
The figures follow a rhythm blood pressure over 24 hours, which is reproduced from one day to another and is called nictemeral rhythm of blood pressure, so that the pressure values are higher during the day and are reduced during sleep.
The daily requirement of salt are about half a gram a day (half teaspoon), but in a normal Western diet is consumed eight times that amount, not only in salt shaker, but also in cheese, cold cuts, condiments, soups envelope etc. Excessive salt in diet causes fluid retention and increased BP. To lower the TA, the first step is to reduce total salt intake (including that contained in the bread, broth concentrates, prepared foods, etc..) To a smaller amount of a teaspoon a day. Sodium is not only salt but also in monosodium glutamate, yeast, etc, so you have to read labels of packaged products to make a strict low sodium diet.
Tea is a drink that works as a gastric stimulant and external use for skin care, natural properties help stimulate the metabolism and also decrease the risk of chronic gastritis and stomach cancer. Tea is an antioxidant that helps prevent cardiovascular risks and cholesterol control.
“He has three benefits: Good action on longevity, helps prevent cardiovascular risk and third weight loss,” said Dr. Diego Holguin diabetologist.
There is green tea and black tea, which help prevent diseases like diabetes, gastric system ailments like ulcer and even cancer.
It is recommended tea daily but must be accompanied by a balanced diet and physical activity to achieve the benefits that this antioxidant drink.
Definition Of Breastfeeding
Human milk is unparalleled. Its nutrients are unique and beneficial substances found in the same can not be duplicated. Breastfeeding provides optimal health, nutritional and immunological benefits and development for children and protection against complications after delivery and future disease to the mother.
Benefits Of Breastfeeding
* Improved immune system and resistance to infection. The immune system of children is not fully mature until two years old. Human milk contains many factors against infections, including agents that act against viruses, bacteria and intestinal parasites. Breastfeeding decreases the incidence of respiratory infections, ear, pneumonia, diarrhea and urinary infections. Also helps protect against sudden infant death syndrome. Breast milk contains factors that enhance the immune response to polio, tetanus, diphtheria and influenza.
* Protects against chronic diseases. The exclusive breastfeeding for at least four months decreases the risk of type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes) for children with a family history of this disease. Exclusive human lactation for at least four months decreases the presentation of asthma. Inflammatory factors in breast milk decrease the occurrence of intestinal diseases. Children breast-fed are less likely to develop Hodgkin’s disease or childhood leukemia.
We know the great value of fruit juices and vegetables, we know that the blender is a great invention and a great ally, and now we need to know recipes to remove the cobwebs. These are 10 juices with concrete benefits. All are liquefied except where otherwise indicated.
1. Cocktail Calories: 100 grams of carrots blended and then beat them with 1 banana and an avocado. This juice can recover quickly from fatigue and is particularly recommended before or after doing sports or for breakfast. Dedicated to the reader Stoudemire.
2. Burn Fat: 1 grapefruit peeled and 200 grams of pineapple. Grapefruit acts as a diuretic and laxative and bitter components stimulate the activity of the liver and kidneys, helping to eliminate toxins and fluids. Pineapple is also very diuretic
3. Against the anemia: 1 apple, 100 grams of mulberry raw peeled potato and 1 potato. The apple helps the body make red blood cells, the berries are rich in iron and potato provides good amount of chromium, essential for proper iron absorption
4. Intestinal regulator: 200g of pineapple and 1 block. Thanks to the content of bromelain from pineapple (remarkable effect on the intestinal flora probiotic) and wealth of apple pectin
5. Relaxing: beat 1 banana and 2 Kiwis. The banana is rich in tryptophan (an amino acid that the brain uses to produce serotonin, which relaxes the nervous system and induces sleep). Both are rich in magnesium, needed in case of stress
