What is High Blood Pressure? How Does Blood Pressure Harm Your Health?
www.bloodpressurehigh.com/highBP-1.html What's the definition of high blood pressure? There is no such thing as the ideal BP reading. Some heart
specialists say that – if you are on hypertension or BP treatment – then your
target level (or the “best” reading to aim for) - is the lowest level you can
tolerate without feeling light headed, faint or dizzy. The machine used to measure high BP is called a sphygmomanometer. Old-fashioned versions of these machines were filled with a column of liquid mercury – a bit like the sort of thermometer that your grandmother might have used under your tongue or under your arm to check your temperature. Because of this historical measuring method, BP measurements are still given today in millimetres of mercury or mmHg for short (Hg is the chemical symbol for mercury). Will Alcohol Raise Blood Pressure Levels A high or moderate alcohol intake will raise blood pressure in some people,
but the effect may depend largely on age and cholesterol levels says a new study
from Japan. It seems that alcohol affects blood pressure more in men in their fifties or older. The study showed that fifty year olds who drank even moderate amounts of alcohol generally had higher blood pressure than non-drinkers. Omega Fatty Acids Lower Blood Pressure
Omega
3 Fatty Acids and Blood
Pressure Alter your diet and lower your blood pressure A diet rich in nutrients called omega-3 fatty acids can help lower a person's blood pressure. Foods rich in Omega 3 include fish and nuts. A new large study looked at diet and its relation to blood pressure in 4,680 men and women, ages 40 to 59, who lived in Japan, China, Britain and the United States. They all provided in-depth details about their diets and alcohol consumption, gave urine samples and had their blood pressure measured twice at each of four study visits. The people who ate diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids had slightly lower blood pressure, on average, than people who ate diets with less of the nutrient, the researchers reported in the American Heart Association Journal Circulation.

That's what this website is all about of course. Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure has two readings - systolic and diastolic. The higher (systolic) number represents the pressure while the heart contracts to pump blood to the body. The lower (diastolic) number represents the pressure when the heart relaxes between beats. Blood pressure below 140/85 mmHg is considered optimal for adults but this reading should be less if you have diabetes or other heart attack risk factors Firstly, and this article about your blood

Buy a Blood Pressure Monitor - How to Choose and Buy the Best Blood Pressure Monitor Device
www.bloodpressurehigh.com/bloodpressuremonitor.htm... Do I need to buy a machine to monitor my blood pressure at home? This is really the first question that you need to ask yourself. Do
you really need to monitor your BP at home on a regular basis or is it enough to
have your doctor monitor it every once in a while? The evidence is now pretty
convincing that if your doctor checks your levels then your reading is likely to
be quite a bit higher than if you check it yourself at home. This rise in BP
when faced with a doctor is sometimes called white coat
hypertension - hypertension is just another name for high blood
pressure. Some doctors or hospitals make use of a sophisticated monitor which
can record a whole series of BP readings in a 24 hour period - called twenty
four hour ambulatory monitoring. Recording levels this way gives a very clear
picture of what your true level is doing but it may not always be required
unless your BP is proving very hard to control. Blood Pressure Reading - What Do Those Blood Pressure Numbers Mean?
www.bloodpressurehigh.com/blood-pressure-readings.... How to understand your Blood Pressure Readings?The term " blood pressure"
