<p>Stress and blood pressure in today&#8217;s world and with the holiday&#8217;s<br />
approaching seem to be on the rise. Did you know that<strong> over<br />
1/4th</strong> of the world has hypertension (high blood pressure<br />
reading)? This is a serious health matter to all of us.</p>
<p>What can we do to reduce stress and our blood pressure, can<br />
our stressful situations be causing our blood pressures to rise?</p>
<p>Is it our eating and exercising habits that are the contributing<br />
factor in this idea of stress and blood pressure?</p>
<p>Stress and blood pressure can be reduced by a healthy diet,<br />
rich in super foods that are raw and lean proteins. Stress and<br />
blood pressure can also be reduced by adding some daily<br />
walking, yoga, and mediation to our days.</p>

<p>In fact, people are often not very surprised when they learn<br />
that someone in a high-profile, high-<strong>stress</strong> job or business<br />
also suffers from high <strong>blood pressure</strong>. It is practically<br />
expected that he or she will have the condition. &#8230;<br />

<p>Stress and blood pressure cause several serious health risks<br />
to all of us, even affecting the kidneys, our brain health, our<br />
stomachs, our breathing when it becomes a shortness of<br />
breath and several other cardiovascular diseases.</p>
<p>Stress and blood pressure needs to be under control to<br />
prevent heart attacks, stroke, diabetes and the list continues.</p>

&#8230; the increase in <strong>pressure</strong> may be due to a change in the<br />
heart, <strong>blood</strong> vessels or an increase in the <strong>blood</strong> volume.<br />
Other factors contributing to hypertension include an<br />
inherited abnormality, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, <strong>stress</strong>, &#8230;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stroke types and tips to prevent strokes are something we all<br />
need to know as a stroke happens quite suddenly and the<br />
quicker the response time, the less damage to the body of the<br />
patient. Age of the person is not necessarily the case as<br />
anyone can have a stoke suddenly.</p>
<p>This article explains the different stroke types and tips for us<br />
to know when we see someone experiencing a stroke. <strong>Act Fast!</strong><br />

<strong> strokes</strong>. They could be defined as  a sudden neurological<br />

<span style="color: #007000;">-wellness/</span></p>
<p>Our busy lifestyles and the stress we are experiencing<br />
seems to be the results of several tests, that could<br />
possibly be the reason we have lots more persons of all<br />
ages dealing with high blood pressures, strokes, and<br />
other cardiovascular diseases today.</p>
<p>This article offers us some great heart health tips on the<br />
effects of stress and high blood pressures that we seems<br />
to be dealing with today. When this continues we can<br />
experience different stroke types also:</p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myhealthmattersnow.com/goto/Stress_And_High_Blood_Pressure/548/2">Stress And High Blood Pressure</a></strong></p>
<p>Chronic stress can result in high blood pressure,<br />
atherosclerosis, <strong>strokes</strong>, heart attacks, and other<br />
cardiovascular system disorders. Keep in mind that<br />
Stress is a leading <strong>cause</strong> of high blood pressure. Even<br />

<p>You may want to own a heart monitor that takes<br />
your blood pressure readings and records them for<br />
you, so that when you go to your clinician for a<br />
check up you can show them your readings. Some<br />
of us have what is called &#8216;white lab coat syndrome&#8221;,<br />

see a person wearing one at the clinics offices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What hypertension does to our body is, it can<br />
cause heart attacks and it will take its toll on<br />
our arteries if our blood pressure rises, our<br />
cholesterol rises and starts to stick to our<br />
arteries, causing extra pressure on them.</p>
<p>Watch this informational video on what<br />
hypertension does to our body and the<br />
effects of having hypertension. When we<br />
are informed about what hypertension<br />
does to our bodies we can lower our<br />
cardiovascular diseases:</p>
<p>What Does Hypertension Do?</p>
<div><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fUcLrdPJurU?f=videos&amp;app=youtube_gdata" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fUcLrdPJurU?f=videos&amp;app=youtube_gdata"></embed></object></div>
<p>How hypertension affects your body. Watch this<br />
and more health videos at: www.answerstv.com<br />
When blood pressure is consistenly high, then we<br />
hear the tern &#8216;hypertension&#8217; when we go to our<br />
health clinics. When our blood pressure rises<br />
from sudden emergencies, being really angry<br />
or extremely stressed, it usually goes down on<br />
its own. Even going to a doctors office or an<br />
emergency room can cause a person&#8217;s blood<br />
pressure to spike and its then called &#8216;white lab<br />
coat syndrome&#8217; so this needs to taken into<br />
consideration when there.</p>
<p>What hypertension does to our bodies usually<br />
happens without our knowledge of having high<br />
blood pressure and that is also another reason<br />
for the term &#8216;silent killer&#8217;, so having it checked<br />
as you age, it quite necessary, so you can<br />
moderate your diet, take notice of your<br />
exercise regiment and avoid certain foods<br />
that are full of salts.</p>
<p>Hypertension</p>

<p>High blood pressure has no symptoms, but if it&#8217;s<br />
not treated it can damage the kidneys, heart<br />
and brain</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Potassium and heart health  is important as potassium is a vital<br />
element in our bodies. Our heart requires it to beat properly<br />
and it also regulates our blood pressure. Potassium is needed<br />
for muscle strength and function, if we don&#8217;t have the proper<br />
levels we can have cramping, weakness and be tired all the<br />
time.</p>
<p>Fainting can be an issue when the potassium levels get to low<br />
in our systems. Low potassium can also cause heart<br />
palpitations and irregular heart beating. It can bring about<br />
feeling depressed, being confused and sometimes even<br />
hallucinations. Being really thirsty is another possible<br />
symptom that we can have when our potassium is<br />
getting really low.</p>
<p>What are some foods to help us with our potassium</p>
<p>and heart health? Bananas are made of approximately<br />
11% potassium, 20% Vitamin B6, 15% of our Vitamin C,<br />
16% of our dietary fiber we need on a daily basis. They<br />
are also soothing to our stomachs.</p>
<p>Bananas contain that important soluble fiber that<br />
helps to lower blood cholesterol, reduce strokes,<br />
and other cardiovascular heart disease.</p>
<p>Did You know that bananas are sodium free and<br />
that also makes them good for the heart health?</p>
<p>Eating 2 bananas a day will keep our potassium  level up.</p>
<p>Bananas help with our stress levels and we can sleep<br />
better when eat bananas every day.</p>
<p>Did you know that bananas are great for those with<br />
diabetes as they help maintain the blood sugar levels<br />
also? Snack on bananas in moderation!</p>
<p>Some other potassium rich foods are grilled salmon,<br />
1 cup of steamed broccoli, 1/2 cup steamed spinach,<br />
1 cup raw cauliflower, 1/2 of an avocado and if you<br />
are a meat eater, 4 oz. beef such a the sirloin for less<br />
fat or about a cup of chopped white meat of chicken.</p>
<p>Most nuts are healthy if left in their natural state,<br />
which means unsalted. The number one nut is the<br />
pistachio nut as its got the most potassium and offers<br />
3o different vitamin, minerals and phytonutrients.</p>
<p>Pistachios are great then to eat to help lower our bad<br />
cholesterol levels and raise the good cholesterol levels.</p>
<p>This video offers tips about potassium and heart</p>
<p>health for all of us:</p>

MS, NC talks about the health benefits of pistachios. Pistachios have<br />
been called the Skinny Nut,&#8221; because they are one of the lowest<br />
calorie, AND lowest fat nuts; Full of fiber and protein, pistachio<br />
help you feel fuller longer. A serving size is ½ cup with shells on,<br />
or ¼ cup if shelled. One serving of pistachios has 3 grams of fiber.<br />
That&#8217;s more than most other snack nuts and more than many<br />
types of whole fruit. Pistachios have more potassium than any<br />
other nut. Did you know a serving of pistachios has more<br />
potassium than half of a large banana? Per serving,<br />
pistachios have more antioxidants than green tea.</p>
<p>Pistachios are a &#8220;hearty&#8221; snack offering more<br />
cholesterol fighting phytosterols than any other<br />
nut. The green color in pistachios comes from<br />
a compound called lutein which helps<br />
prevent the most common form of blindness<br />
in older adults. Pistachios offer more than 30<br />
different vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.</p>
<p>Pistachio nuts have also been shown to improve<br />
cardiovascular health. According to a study<br />
published in the American Journal of Clinical<br />
Nutrition, pistachios may lower LDL (bad)<br />
cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good)<br />
cholesterol levels. Pistachios go really good<br />
in salads and you can toss them in your<br />
yogurt or oatmeal.</p>
