Home About WHF Seminars Programs ... Ask the Nurse Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force exerted on artery walls when the heart is beating and when it is at rest. The higher number is the "Systolic" pressure and is the pressure exerted on artery walls when the heart is in the contracting phase. The lower number is the "Diastolic" pressure and is the pressure exerted on artery walls when the heart is in the resting phase. High blood pressure is a silent killer. If left unchecked, it can cause permanent damage, resulting in kidney failure, heart attack or stroke. Blood pressure is recorded in the form of a fraction with the higher number on the top and the lower number on the bottom. Blood pressure is considered high if the upper number (systolic pressure) is above 140 and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) is above 90 and stays there. High blood pressure (HBP) affects two thirds of African-Americans. Left unchecked, it can have such serious long-term consequences as kidney damage, heart damage and stroke. African Americans suffer more extensive physical impairments from stroke that last longer than those of other racial groups. Most of the time, the cause for high blood pressure cannot be determined, but, while the cause may not be known, the treatment can still be effective.

Home Alternative Medicine Stress Management Conditions/ Treatments ... Media Dr. George Jacob Heart Infocenter Welcome to Dr. George Jacob Heart Infocenter in Holisticonline.com! The heart and vascular system is one of the largest and most important body systems. The cardiovascular system's primary functions are to deliver oxygen and vital nutrition to cells throughout the body and to aid in the removal of cellular waste products. Heart disease and stroke are the number-one and number-three killers in the United States and in most of the Western World. These two conditions are responsible for about forty- three percent of all deaths in the United States. They are often referred to as "silent killers" because the first symptom or sign in many cases is a fatal event. There are numerous distinct disorders that relate to heart. These include arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, angina, heart attack, and heart failure, arrhythmias, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, heart murmurs, rheumatic heart disease, valvular disease, mitral valve prolapse and high blood pressure or hypertension. Diet and lifestyle changes are essential in treating heart problems. Important among them are getting more exercise and giving up smoking. According to complementary practitioners, proper functioning of the heart, also depends on the health and harmonious workings of other organs, such as the liver and kidneys.

Home Alternative Medicine Stress Management Conditions/ Treatments ... Media Dr. George Jacob Heart Infocenter Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) Food/Diet Therapy for Hypertension Research has shown that following a healthy eating plan can both reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure and lower an already elevated blood pressure. Vegetarian Diet Vegetarians, in general, have lower blood pressure levels and a lower incidence of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Experts postulate that a typical vegetarian's diet contains more potassium, complex carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fat, fiber, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin A, all of which may have a favorable influence on blood pressure. Fiber A high-fiber diet has been shown to be effective in preventing and treating many forms of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension. The types of dietary fiber is important. Of the greatest benefit to hypertension are the water soluble gel-forming fibers such as oat bran, apple pectin, psyllium seeds, and guar gum. These fibers, in addition to be of benefit against hypertension, are also useful to reduce cholesterol levels, promote weight loss, chelate out heavy metals, etc. Take one to three tablespoons of herbal bulking formula containing such things as oat fiber, guar gum, apple pectin, gum karaya, psyllium seed, dandelion root powder, ginger root powder, fenugreek seed powder and fennel seed powder.

As a child, he saw his father die of a heart attack at 53 years of age. Then, as an adult he's watched two brothers fall victim to the same culprit. Now, struggling with hypertension himself for the better part of a decade, the 63-year-old knows firsthand the challenges of battling the relentless foe. ''It's just draining,'' he said of the lethargy and breathlessness caused by the condition and the eight medicines he has to take. ''Anything that requires a lot of energy, you just can't do it.'' Hypertension is often called the silent killer, a reference to the potentially fatal condition often not eliciting any symptoms. In reality, the ailment's effects, which can range from heart disease to stroke and diabetes, are anything but silent, as they take the lives of more than 40,000 people each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Yahoo Go Lycos HotBot AOL Real-Life Rules for Managing Asthma SOME OF THE PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR MANAGING ASTHMA may seem a little extreme: Pull up carpeting in your house and tread instead on clean hardwood floors. Change the filters frequently in your heating and air-conditioning units. Dust regularly, change bedding regularly, buy pillow and mattress covers, maybe give up some favorite foods — or even some favorite pets. “Even if steps like these are a bother, they’re worth every bit of it,” says Linda Boyer, executive director of the Greater Washington, D.C. chapter of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Boyer, a longtime asthma sufferer herself and a mother who raised a child with severe asthma, goes to the trouble to follow the experts’ advice. “Isn’t it good to feel good?” she asks. She likens the difficulty of managing asthma with the trouble people with diabetes or allergies must endure when taking regular insulin or allergy shots. “If you want to feel good, maintain your health and lead a normal life, you have to get into a routine,” Boyer adds. Recognizing Asthma for What It Is Asthma is a serious and often life-threatening disease. About 17 million Americans have been diagnosed with asthma and 7,000 people die of asthma each year.

Insulin, Diet, Disease and Athletes The 40/30/30 diet has been reputed to be healthful and to improve athletic performance in endurance athletes. Despite the lack of credible scientific evidence, consumer products exist and some individuals recommend or follow this diet.The following is from an article posted on the public usenet newsgroup: rec.sport.triathlon, and is part of a discussion with Dr. Phil Maffetone with regard to the biochemistry of insulin and carbohydrate metabolism central to the dietary theme as it applies to healthy athletes, as well as individuals suffering from diabetes or hypertension. Subject: Insulin, diet, disease, and athletes (long) From: Mark A. Jenkins, M.D. GILBOA, gilboa@aol.com ( Dr. Phil Maffetone ) writes: Problems casused by excess carbo (which produces excess insulin) include heart disease, hypertension, stroke, high blood cholesterol and triglycerides, and diabetes. This information is well known in the scientific literature but is rarely mentioned in the popular press. The correct term for the problem in it's early stages, before these diseases apprear, is insulin resistance, carbohydrate intolerance or any number of other names. In my opinion, perhaps half the population (athletes too) is insulin resistant to some degree. Mark A. Jenkins, M.D

Staying Informed Click on the links to the left or scroll down to learn about how to prevent or control hypertension. Preventing Or Controlling Hypertension What Is Hypertension? When blood pressure is elevated over time, it is called hypertension or high blood pressure. Hypertension is dangerous because it makes the heart work too hard. It also makes the walls of the arteries hard. People with hypertension are at increased risk for strokes, heart failure, heart attacks, and kidney damage. Hypertension often has no signs or symptoms, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the "silent killer." In fact, approximately one in four adults in the United States have hypertension and more than 30% are unaware. For earlier diagnosis and treatment, and to reduce the risk of complications, regular screening and testing is needed. What Is Your Risk?

Home Health Bytes Health Bytes Hypertension Alternatives to Hypertension by Robert Pastore , Ph.D., CNC, CN The last issue of Health Bytes covered the basics of blood pressure regulation and hypertension. Now we will explore some possible alternatives to treat this condition. Prior to addressing what can reduce blood pressure, we should briefly address often over looked contributing factors to hypertension. Other than a poor diet, obesity, certain diseases, sedentary lifestyle, and a genetic predisposition, there are several contributing factors to hypertension. Lifestyle factors, environmental factors, and stress management can all play their part. Adjusting and addressing each of these factors can play a strong part in the non-pharmacological treatment of hypertension. A study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, depicted the hypertensive effect of chronic alcohol consumption. Studies from the New England Journal of Medicine correlate nicotine consumption from cigarettes and smokeless tobacco with an elevation in blood pressure. Even the daily consumption of coffee has been implicated in hypertension, as reported in the American Journal of Cardiology. Researchers from the Lancet stated back in 1976, that cadmium toxicity has been shown to independently increase blood pressure. Other researchers reported similar effects from lead in the American Journal of Epidemiology. The best safe guard against lead and cadmium toxicity is to remain acutely aware of their sources and avoid them when possible. Lead can be found in municipal water supplies, household lead pipes, and shooting ranges. Cadmium sources include industrial paints, and cigarettes.
