Press Release Body: Fl,USA,May 28,2008.............High blood pressure, or
hypertension, is not something to be taken lightly. It is a serious disease, the
cause of which is unknown. One fact health care professionals do know is that left
untreated, high blood pressure over time can lead to serious heart disease and other
vascular troubles, even death.

Blood pressure medications come in a wide range of formulas and
dosages; each aimed at reducing the pressure going through the
blood vessels either as the heart pumps blood or relaxes. Some
medications strengthen the blood vessels while others thin the
blood in an effort to reduce the strain. Trial and error is usually
a doctor\'s only course of action when determining which combination of drugs and
treatments will benefit a specific patient. The problem with this approach is the
dangerous side effects, which often accompany these medications.

There is however some good news about hypertension! There are steps you can take
today that will begin to lower your blood pressure almost immediately. Overtime, the
result is a sustained healthy blood pressure reading that supports your blood
vessels and heart for years to come.

Start with these 5 easy lifestyle changes. Always consult with your doctor before
trying anything new with your health regime, and never go off of any medication
without the advice of your doctor. Here is a list that any doctor can approve of:

1. Drink Water. Yes, water is a way to cleanse and refresh every
part of the body, even your blood vessels. Drink 8-10 glasses each day to flush out
excess salt and toxins that make their way into the blood stream. You can use water
to replace some drinks
containing caffeine that temporarily raise blood pressure.

2. Stop Smoking. If you are a long time smoker, you know how it
affects your breathing. What you may not realize is its impact on
your blood pressure. If you can\'t quit completely, then cut down.
Even a 50% reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked each week can help.

3. Exercise. A cardiovascular workout strengthens the heart. This is important
because high blood pressure over time puts added strain on the heart. Just 20
minutes, 3 times per week of a
sustained increase in heart rate will aid in lowering blood
pressure.

4. Eat Right. If you are eating better and exercising, a nice
by-product will be weight loss. By reducing your weight by 10%, you can
significantly lower blood pressure. A diet that includes the freshest fruits and
vegetables will support healthy blood pressure. Reduce or eliminate salt intake, and
especially beware of \"hidden\" sodium found abundantly in pre-packaged convenience
foods.

5. Relax. Many people have a temporary raise in blood pressure when they are under
stress. If you have high blood pressure because you are over weight or have a family
history of hypertension, then stress raises it that much more. Try taking a walk,
meditating or listening to relaxing music to take the edge off a stressful day. Make
time for decompressing each and every day.
