Blood Pressure And Diet
May 19th, 2010
Including low-fat dairy products in the diet can lower high blood pressure, a condition that affects 65 million Americans and is a major risk factor for stroke, heart attack and kidney and heart failure.
“Dairy products, such as cheese, yogurt and milk, are excellent sources of calcium,” says Luc Djousse, M.D., author of recent Brigham and Women’s Hospital study examining the effects of low-fat dairy products on regulating blood pressure.
“However, some dairy products also contain substantial amounts of saturated fat, which might offset some of the beneficial effects of dairy products. In this study, magnesium and potassium intake was associated with lower blood pressure, but calcium was not,” says Djousse. Findings appear in Hypertension: Journal off the American Heart Association.
Although low-fat dairy products are considered beneficial at reducing blood pressure, the exact components that provide the apparent benefits are unknown. Benefits might be derived from dairy’s calcium content or some other unidentified components. Reduced blood pressure is mainly associated with those individuals consuming less saturated fat.
To lower your blood pressure:
· Stop smoking.
· Lose weight if you’re overweight.
· Exercise regularly.
· Limit your sodium intake.
· Practice yoga, meditation and other relaxation techniques.
Acupuncture can effectively lower blood pressure by triggering a decrease in heart activity and oxygen intake. Acupuncture regulates the body’s system and lowers blood pressure without the adverse side effects of anti-hypertensive drugs.
Acupuncture to lower blood pressure is most effective for the treatment of mild or first stage hypertension. Acupuncture balances the nervous and endocrine systems and stimulates endorphin release, which can aid in decreasing sympathetic nervous system activity. Acupuncture is an ideal treatment option for individuals who cannot tolerate anti-hypertensive medications.
For information about acupuncture for the treatment of high blood pressure call Dr. Richard Browne, Acupuncture Physician, at (305) 595-9500.
