High Blood Pressure - Are You At Risk?

February 27th, 2010

When your heart pumps blood, pressure is exerted against the walls of the arteries, prompting the term “blood pressure“. While your heart is actively pumping blood, your blood pressure is at its highest, referred to as systolic pressure. When your heart is at rest - between beats - your blood pressure falls, this is diastolic pressure. These two numbers are used to determine your blood pressure with the systolic pressure being placed ahead of the diastolic pressure and written one above or before the other, such as 120/80 (normal). Both of these numbers are important. Any reading above 120/80 places the body at risk, the higher the pressure, the greater the risk.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a chronic ailment in which the blood pressure (BP) reading is constantly 140/90 and above. If this pressure rises and remains high for a prolong period it can cause serious damage in the form of: stroke, heart attack, heart failure, arterial aneurysm or kidney failure. Signs of prehypertension are 120 and 139 for the top number, or between 80 and 89 for the bottom numbers, this is a precursor to high blood pressure and immediate steps should taken to prevent the more serious condition.

here is a two pronged approach to providing treatment for this disease. They are: medication and self care. In situations where the illness is due to the existence of another disease, the high blood pressure will be alleviated once this primary disease is treated. For sufferers of secondary hypertension there are a variety of prescription drugs available: diuretics, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers.

• Diuretics (Water Pills) – Recommended as the first line of treatment, this medication works on the kidneys to help rid your body of sodium and water thus reducing blood pressure.

• Beta blockers – They reduce the effects of excitement and physical exertion on the heart and opens the blood vessels. The heart then beats slower while exerting less force.

• Calcium Channel Blockers - these dilate the arteries thereby reducing the amount of pressure exerted on them, putting less strain on the heart.

• Angiotensin-converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors - Angiotensin II is a chemical produced in the blood which causes the muscles surrounding blood vessels to contract. The inhibitors restrict this activity allowing the blood vessels to enlarge.

• Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers – This medication is similar in function to ACE inhibitors. It prevents angiotensin II from binding to angiotensin II receptors on blood vessels allowing the vessel to enlarge.

Herbalife Distributors And The Business Explained

January 20th, 2010

How to become a successful Herbalife distributor?

Herbalife is a unique business in its structure and philosophy. Their compensation plan is one competitive in the industry and they have remained a strong influence in the home based business arena for many years. The company supplies training for its distributors however you will find that for most people, the friends and family approach to recruiting new business doesn’t always work out too well. If you are trying to make a decision to become an Herbalife Distributor you can use some of the information from this article to help you make a smart financial and business decision.

Some of the advantages of Herbalife:-Herbalife is a strong company that has been around the block quite a few times in the network marketing world. If you are a member of Herbalife and are distributing the products, focus on marketing the products to new customers and distributors and don’t market them the opportunity, at least right off of the bat anyway. Look up any network marketing company on the internet and you’ll find that the compensation plans are going to be similar and the training that they offer are going to be almost identical across the board; what you won’t find is similar products (for the most part). Network Marketing Companies were not started to just generate money they were created to sell products. Isn’t that is the way that you should structure your business? The major advantage of Herbalife the products, for many people, give them results. It is not my goal to promote Herbalife or to take anything away from them, my goal is only to give you some more information about how to become an Herbalife Distributor. My prediction of the company is that it is going to be in business for a very long time given the structure of their business model and the integrity of the company over the past decade.

Be confident:-Herbalife distributors should be confident in the product that they are selling. “Herbalife products have improved the lives of millions of people worldwide. Success stories can be found everywhere that these products are sold and used by people who want to improve their health and quality of life.” These are some of the things that you will see out there on the internet however the best way to find out if the products work for you or not, is to try them and be your own best testimonial.

The Big Picture:-Herbalife distributors will be their own first customers. With the Herbalife franchise opportunities, you can earn more if you sell more. The better your business fares, the better your discounted rates will be. This means that even if you start out only as a user of the products, you can benefit by becoming a freelance agent. The products that you use will not only be cheaper for you to buy, due to your distributors discount, but you will be building on your sales bonus.

Final Thoughts:-When you are making the decision to become an Herbalife Distributor or not, I would first recommend that you try the product as a customer, see how it works for you and if you like the product, and find value in it simply contact the distributor you order from and tell them that you are ready to sign up.

Benefits of Eating Vegetarian Once in a While

January 15th, 2010

It is known that vegetarians have lower rates of heart disease and some forms of cancer than non-vegetarians. You don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy vegetarian dishes and the benefits of a vegetarian diet. Trying a couple of meat-free days each week can help your digestion and detox your body.

Vegetarians get abundant fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals that help to prevent cancer. In addition, blood analysis of vegetarians reveals a higher level of specialized white blood cells that attack cancer cells.

According to the American Dietetic Association, vegetarians are at lower risk for developing heart disease, Colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.

People who follow vegetarian diets typically have lower blood pressure. No one knows exactly why vegetarian diets work so well. It is probable that cutting out meat and dairy products reduces the blood’s viscosity which, in turn, brings down blood pressure. Vegetables and fruits are also rich in potassium, which helps lower blood pressure.

A vegetarian diet, if followed properly would consist mostly of alkaline forming foods. Our blood is slightly alkaline and needs to be kept that way by reducing intake of acid-forming foods like meat and more of alkaline forming foods like vegetables.

This is probably one of the main reasons that people who are sick see health benefits when they go to these diets. However, some vegetarians eat French fries and potato chips with soft drinks everyday, and do not see the benefits of the alkaline diet.

Diabetes Treatment Tips

November 29th, 2009

Diabetes is a disease that is the result of your body not producing enough insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by your body that helps to turn sugars into energy. The symptoms of diabetes are increased thirst, increased urination, constant hunger, weight loss, irritability, blurred vision, and fatigue. While each symptom alone is harmless, the combination of symptoms could mean that you have diabetes. And, if left untreated, diabetes can become a serious illness and can put you at a higher risk for other, more serious illnesses, such as heart disease and stroke.

Diabetes or madhumeh as per ayurveda is a disease in which there is improper functioning of insulin and as a result sugar level in the blood increases. Diabetes may cause heart problem, kidney failure, blurred vision if not treated timely. Diabetes is a lifelong, chronic health condition, in which the body is unable to break down sugar so the sugar levels are high in the blood, and also can’t produce insulin or have resistance to insulin and therefore loses energy. It is also caused due to increase production of glucose level in the blood vessels and less production of glucose in the body, and also caused due to infections caused by viruses.

One diabetes treatment and prevention factor is diet and exercise. The habits you develop with regard to exercise and diet can dramatically improve diabetes, minimize complications, and control your blood sugar. The best thing about diet and exercise as a diabetes treatment is that it can also prevent diabetes in some cases as well. By introducing a healthy diet to your lifestyle, you can control the levels of sugar in your blood, as well as take steps to prevent further complications from the condition. Obesity is one of the most common causes of developing diabetes. Losing weight can help in controlling the condition and living a better life. If you need help, your physician can recommend a program or dietitian to help you gain control over your eating habits.
