Like a lot of other people, when I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, I denied it," said Darryl Dawkins, former Philadelphia 76er and New Jersey Nets center. "I just didnt want to hear it. And maintaining a healthy diet and getting exercise was not enough to manage my condition. My doctor recommended that I take a medication to get me closer to goal. I tried other prescription treatments that did not work for me. My doctor prescribed a combination of two medicines in one pill to help me manage my high blood pressure. Im proud to be teaming up with other NBA Legends to get the word out about the urgency

In our study, we found plasma concentrations of all other amino acids were not affected by the low or high levels of watermelon juice consumption, the researchers wrote. These results indicate that the doses of citrulline intake from watermelon juice have no deleterious effects on whole-body amino acid balance in humans. Based on there result, they concluded that since citrulline from watermelon was effectively converted into arginine and offers a potential role for exploring the dietary effects of watermelon in regulating whole-body metabolism of energy substrates, it can improve cardiovascular and immunologic functions, and prevent the ageing-associated increase in tissue oxidative stress. Watermelon, naturopathy for long had said is a valuable safeguard against high blood pressure. A substance extracted from watermelon seeds

If high blood pressure (hypertension) isnt kept in check, you can almost count on a parade of bad things in your future. The list is long, but try heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, and kidney failure, just for starters. Few conditions as dangerous to your health are so easy to control as high blood pressure, at least for the vast majority of people who have it. Testing for it is quick, easy, and painless, and there are cheap well-tested drugs that generally control it. Lifestyle often contributes to hypertension, and diet or exercise, or both, can reverse it. Yet, widespread control of high blood pressure remains a frustrating and elusive struggle. Its a conundrum.

2007-05-19 Avoid Salt to Reduce Blood Pressure

The medical community continues to debate the methodology, results and significance of these trials. Conducting long-term studies is difficult because of funding issues and the ethics of putting people on high salt diets for extended periods of time. However, the most recent study, known as DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), went to great lengths to create a clear picture of the impacts of salt in the diet. Researchers meticulously monitored salt intake of 412 individuals with high blood pressure. Divided into three groups, the first ate a diet that contained 3,300 milligrams of sodium each day, the second ate 2,400 milligrams, and the third group consumed no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day, over the course of 30 days. Each study participant received prepared meals, including snacks, and adherence to the

2007-10-31 The Sydney Morning Herald Blogs: Chew on This

But fortunately there is one, and funnily enough it fits the facts a whole lot better than the leap of faith required in the case of salt hypothesis. The salty western processed food wrought a much more significant change on so called "primitive" diets - the introduction of processed sugar, flour and many other easily stored high carbohydrate foods. Ingesting a high carbohydrate diet (as we are constantly urged to do) results in elevated insulin levels, and insulin not only induces the kidneys to reabsorb sodium rather than the normal regulation (excreting it) and thus leading to water retention (to stabilise sodium pct. in the bloodstream) it also stimulates the nervous system increasing the heart rate and constricting blood vessels . all of which, surprise, surprise elevate blood pressure a great deal more for the vast majority of

Breast cancer rates are low in Japan, which is not a nation of milk drinkers, so people conclude that milk must be cancer-causing. But it is the saturated-fat content of our diets and obesity thats the problem. People who develop cancer have higher blood levels of a protein called IGF1. Cows given bovine growth hormone (somatotropin) to increase milk yields have more IGF1 in their milk, as does milk from cows that have recently calved. Breast cancer cells contain IGF1, which leads you to conclude that drinking milk containing high IGF1 levels causes cancer. Sounds worrying, but let1s unpick this. First, growth hormone use in dairy cows is banned in Europe. Secondly, the evidence that IGF1 can survive eating and cross into the bloodstream is limited. In any case, even if it could, humans beings produce IGF1, too, with our

2007-01-27 PharmaLive: Placebo-Controlled Phase IIa Study with Hypertension Vaccine CYT006-AngQb Shows Reduction in Day-Time Blood Pressure

Hypertension is a medical condition where the blood pressure is chronically elevated. Although asymptomatic in nature and in itself rarely an acute problem, persistent hypertension is one of the most important preventable causes of premature death worldwide and contributes to around half of all cardiovascular disease (WHO, 2004). It is one of the major risk factors for stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and arterial aneurysm, and is a leading cause of chronic renal failure. Amongst genetic predisposition also several lifestyle habits such as inadequate physical activity, high fat diet, and high salt intake promote high blood pressure. Up to 30 pct. of adults in most countries suffer from hypertension (WHO, 2004). Despite effective and relatively inexpensive treatment available, a health survey in the UK revealed that only 9 pct. of

This has led to the idea that high blood pressure - hypertension - is an inflammatory vascular disease of the brain, rather than of the heart as previously thought. The controversial idea that one cause of high blood pressure lies within the brain, and not the heart or blood vessels, was put forward by scientists at the Bristol University, and published in the journal Hypertension. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension affects millions of people in the world, leading to heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage. For centuries, it has been believed that hypertension is linked to the heart but now, that opinion is being challenged. Hypertension is believed to occur when blood is forced through a person and rsquo;s arteries at an increased pressure.

Dr George Mensah of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, at a workshop in ghana, said there is no doubt that high blood pressure is one of the most important preventable causes of pre-mature deaths, adding that dietary salt increases blood pressure in most people with hypertension, and in about a quarter of those with normal blood pressure, especially with increasing age. Dr Mensah explained that exactly how salt increases blood pressure is still in dispute, adding that the simplest explanation is that when salt intake is too high, the kidneys cannot pass it all into the urine and some end up in the bloodstream. This, then draws more water into the blood, increasing volume and pressure.
