How to Deal With Stress to Prevent High Blood Pressure
During the start of the century in 1900, the most common causes of death were mostly communicable diseases which later on were addressed and cured by medical science. The elimination of these diseases in our midst somehow doubled the life expectancy of humanity. What can be quite interesting is that as the century came to a close, stress became an influential factor in the present day's top diseases.
The inability to handle stress was often manifested by an individual's tendency to resort to smoking, to go on food binges or simply withdrawing from society by observing a sedentary lifestyle.
There is no doubt that stress-related diseases have increased and affected the current trend of life. All the diseases mentioned in the years that passed were caused or influenced by stress either by diet or lifestyle habits.
Stress is the actual wear and tear of the body caused by anxiety in this complex and competitive society. It isn't always an indication of poor health. In some cases athletes are purposely using stress in their training as a means of enhancing the level of performance to avoid exhaustion during athletic events. Therefore, stress can be planned through exercise to improve the handling of physical and emotional stress.
During unexpected moments; when somebody wants to harm you without warning, the body's autonomic nervous system is put into a fight-or-flight response. Here, the cause of stress is clearly defined as the attacker.
Due to this incident several body changes will take place, as follows:
1. Your digestive processes will cease and the blood will be redirected to the muscles to fight or run and to the brain for quick action.
2. There will be quick breathing to put more oxygen in the lungs for faster blood transfer in order to give more energy to the muscles and brain.
3. Faster pulse rate will be experienced thereby raising the blood pressure.
4. Instant sweating starts to dispatch the heat brought by the augmented blood flow and the energy to be released.
5. Muscles will feel tense for any eventualities.
6. Blood clotting chemicals will be activated in case of injury; and,
7. Blood sugar, blood and fat are released for the needed energy, to fight or run.
These are only examples on how our body will handle or react to stress and these are also the cases when it is already encompassing an individual.
To stop this from happening, one should learn to deal with stress to prevent high blood pressure by:
1. Maintaining to be fit through exercise regimen in order for the body to handle stress.
2. Mental training in preparation for any worst eventualities and proper decision making.
3. Stay away from alcoholic beverages, cigarette smoking, using drugs or indulging in food as escape medium; they will only add up to the creation of another stress.

Your Blood Pressure And How I Control Mine
Blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the vital signs that determines how healthy your body is. It is the force of the blood pushing against the blood vessel walls. During a normal heartbeat, the pressure varies from high pressure, systole, to the low pressure, diastolic.
A normal adult should have a pressure of less than 120/80 (systole/diastolic). If you get a consistent measurement higher than 140/90, then your doctor may order treatments or just decide to monitor it.
Causes Of Hypertension
In some cases, people will develop this condition because of various reasons. The causes of hypertension are numerous, but some of the basic causes are:
- Smoking
- Lack of exercise
- Family history
- Excessive alcohol
- Excessive salt
- Obesity
Hypertension Complications
Hypertension, because it makes the heart work harder, can lead to such complications as:
- Heart attacks
- Heart failures
- Kidney failure
- Loss of vision
- Stroke
Symptoms Of Hypertension
Hypertension symptoms are generally not visible and people usually do not know they have it till they get it measured. That is why it is known as the silent killer. However, with extreme high blood pressure, you could develop such external symptoms as:
- Blurred vision
- Chest pain
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Dizziness
How To Reduce Hypertension
One high blood pressure reading does not generally mean you have a problem. Your pressure can vary significantly during the course of a day, mainly based on your physical activity.
My blood pressure was measured at 148/77 at a physical several years ago. The doctor did not put me on any program to reduce it, but I decided to look in to how I could lower it. I was not over weight and did not smoke. But I did take up exercising on a daily bases. For example, I ride a stationary bike for 50 minutes and lift weights for about 20 minutes.
I had also heard about Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). One of the benefits of EFAs is the ability to lower blood pressure. So I started eating more wild salmon and taking fish oil supplements to get the required amount of EFAs
Since I started this program of exercise and fish oil supplements, my blood pressure is now measured at 112/65 on a consistent basis.
Conclusion
High blood pressure can be a deadly problem for us, unless we keep it under control. You can control blood pressure naturally by controlling your weight, stop smoking, exercise and providing your body with EFAs, such as eating wild salmon and taking fish oil supplements.
