Hypertension Causes Stroke

Proven alternative to treat hypertension

It is estimated that no less than 600 million people worldwide are affected by hypertension. Described as a "murderer silent" Hypertension causes 5 million premature deaths each year (World Health Organization) and the numbers are increasing.

There are two types of hypertension: primary hypertension, which can not be attributed to one thing, and secondary hypertension, which is attributable to some other disease body. Both are equally threatening, and perform the same damage in the body, such as cardiovascular disease (angina pectoris, stroke, heart attack or atrial fibrillation).

Usually the treatment is of two types: lifestyle and medication. Lifestyle changes include not smoking, reducing alcohol intake, eat healthier, exercise more and more rest. The drugs include ACE inhibitors to make the walls blood vessels relax and widen, blockers, calcium channel to widen blood vessels, diuretics to cause hormonal changes and beta blockers to reduce the workload of the heart during times of physical stress. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of these treatments if administered separately or together is variable, good to bad. And of course there is a double-edged sword when medication is used: the positive effects are offset by its negative.

However, Hypertension can be treated differently, so that has been clinically proven to achieve consistently good results, often eliminating the disease completely while making other positive side effects that promote greater health and wellness. It is the practice of meditation.

In recent 30 years has been extensive research on meditation's effects on health, and there is no longer any doubt about the positive effect of not only the spirit, but in the mind and body as well. Meditation changes the frequencies of brain waves of a person and in doing so, change your brain bioelectrical activity and commands sent to the rest of your body.

By meditating, a person may have more endorphins released into your system making you feel "high" they might also have an increase in neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin) that are associated with positive states of mind, your brain might also give the signal to release more melatonin and DHEA (anti aging and rejuvenation of hormones) into the bloodstream and all are extremely beneficial to the physical and mental health.

When you feel mentally can not fail to have a positive effect on physical well-being, just as physical well-being will a positive effect on a mental welfare. Through practiced meditation, the mind-body connection becomes positive symbiotic. There is a constant feedback positive between the two that, in time, will result in a person not only reduced their blood pressure, but the improvement of their physical and mental.

About the Author

About Me -- I have spent many years in the study of personal development. Diagnosed with leaukemia 11 years ago. I used the power of meditation, autosuggestion and visualization to heal myself. I knew I could do this because I realised it was the way I was using my mind in the first place that made me ill. For four years prior to the illness I had been performing in a piece about 'blood going bad'. I literally focussed my brain on that negative suggestion - not realising that I was manifesting it in my body. This was a right of passage that taught me about the importance of focussing my mind on what I wanted, not on what I did not want. Our mind is the most precious resource for creating the life we want and whatever way we work it - works!

 Mechanisms of Cardiovascular Aging


Mechanisms of Cardiovascular Aging


$203.26


This volume of Advances in Cell Aging and Gerontology provides a timely review on the molecular and cellular basis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Age itself is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, which include loss of vasomotor function, athero- and arterio-sclerosis, hypertension, congestive heart failure and stroke. Together these pathologies comprise the leading causes of permanent disability, hospitalization and death for individuals over the age of 65. Thus, there is a critical need to assess both the age-associated causes leading to CVD as well as the current state of knowledge on preventive regimens designed to slow or modulate disease progression. This book concisely summarizes the current knowledge related to the major aspects contributing to cardiovascular disfunction in the elderly as well as potential ways of maintaining or improving human cardiovascular healthspan.
