It Is High Time To Reduce High Blood Pressure



It is the general consensus of the doctors and different medical associations for people to get their blood pressure checked up more often. Finally after decades of encouraging, Americans have learnt that.
Adding to this, another good news comes from the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention, which says that most of the adults suffering from Hypertension are being treated now. But still worries are there as about 36 million Americans have still failed to reduce high blood pressure

The increasing reading of high BP can be controlled by the intake of proper diet and healthy routine. There are some supplements in your food which can help in controlling this potentially dreaded disorder.

·         Co-enzyme Q10
·         Vitamin C
·         Magnesium
·         Calcium
·         Folic Acid
·         Fish Oil
·         Garlic

The public health officials and health groups from private companies have initiated  a campaign in the name of Million Hearts. This campaign aims to prevent 1 million heart attacks by the year 2017. For this several ideas have been suggested like:

·         Taking medicines of BP as per prescribed by the doctor
·         Weight loss
·         Prohibition of smoking and alcohol
·         Regular check up of blood pressure
