Contrary to popular belief, high blood pressure is not an
inevitable consequence of getting older, but is usually a result of
a few lifestyle factors. There is sometimes a genetic component
too, which means it can run in the family. In the UK, around 50 per
cent of people over 65 have it, and some 70 per cent of those in
their 70s. These figures are truly staggering when you consider
that this condition is one of the most preventable causes of death
in the developed world. This book looks at how you can lower your
blood pressure by making simple changes to your life, often in
combination with prescribed medication, so reducing associated
risks such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease or impaired
vision. Topics include; the dangers of high blood pressure, the
importance of exercise and how to choose an exercise regime, food
and nutrition, maintaining a healthy weight and reducing obesity,
quitting smoking, managing stress, medication, complementary
remedies, women and high blood pressure. In this comprehensive
guide, Christine Craggs-Hinton says that, while it is vital to see
your doctor about your condition, there is a great deal you can do
yourself to lower your blood pressure - and keep it down.
