\"modern\"<\/a>High blood pressure happens when the heart is forced to pump harder to maintain circulatory functions.\u00a0 Often people have high blood pressure and aren’t aware of the situation.\u00a0\u00a0High blood pressure can damage arterial\u00a0walls and puts\u00a0 strain on the heart.<\/p>\n

If you have high blood pressure, you are at\u00a0risk of heart attack, stroke, peripheral artery disease, and congestive heart failure.<\/p>\n

High blood pressure is often a lifestyle disease because factors affecting your blood pressure include smoking, overweight, inactivity, prediabetes and diabetes, and, finally, our old friend stress.<\/p>\n

High blood pressure is also often a spiritual disease because factors affecting your blood pressure include pushing yourself beyond your limits, feeling too much pressure and too many demands in your daily life, holding onto anger\u00a0and hurt.<\/p>\n

If you want to control your hypertension,\u00a0 take the medication and make some lifestyle changes so\u00a0 the dose will be the absolute lowest possible.\u00a0 Often, the lifestyle changes will allow you to discontinue the medication.<\/p>\n

Changing your diet can really help.\u00a0 Work on losing weight.\u00a0 This means cutting out the junk foods in addition to eating low calorie vegetables, fruits, beans.\u00a0 Cut out caffeine, alcoholic drinks and any beverage with calories.\u00a0 Diet is seriously important here…especially if you don’t want to take\u00a0 pills.<\/p>\n

Some specific vitamins and minerals recommended for persons dealing with hypertension include Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Magnesium, Garlic, Flaxseed oil.\u00a0 Therefore, I advise that you find a nutritionist or call Liz at Village Apothecary in Woodstock (845-679-0790).\u00a0 She knows the vitamins and minerals you need and she knows what diet is going to work the best for your situation.\u00a0 You want to make sure that you are taking the right supplement and the right amount of the supplement to do the most good for you.<\/p>\n

Exercise is important.\u00a0 Find something you like to do and then do it every day.\u00a0 Increase the amount of time you exercise a little each day.\u00a0 Until you come up with a better exercise, try walking.<\/p>\n

Receiving Reflexology for the Spirit sessions regularly can definitely help to stabilize hypertension.\u00a0 Homeostasis to the rescue!<\/p>\n

When offering a session to a person suffering with hypertension, begin the session by working the solar plexus and diaphragm reflexes.<\/p>\n

Work the circulatory system with an emphasis on the heart reflex.<\/p>\n

Work the urinary system as you focus on the kidney reflexes.<\/p>\n

End the session by working the liver and solar plexus.<\/p>\n
