High Cholesterol Can Be a Killer


By jackie smith at 2010-12-07 05:57:54

Firstly make a firm decision to lose some of those extra pounds you have been carrying. The layers of fat you can see are only part of the story. When you are overweight you will also have thick layers of fat around all you vital organs and layering the inside of your arteries. This makes your organs less efficient and the only way you can get the same amount of blood to pass through restricted space is to have high blood pressure. Yet the main cause of the low blood pressure is improper eating habits. The lack of nutritional diet may result in the over-relaxed, stretched or flabby blood vessels. This all leads to the low supply of nutrients or oxygen to the tissue of the body. The malnutrition occurs mainly due to the deficiency of proteins, vitamin C, calories and vitamin B.

One should stop smoking completely. Smoking damages blood vessels and hardens the arteries. A person who smokes is more prone to cardiovascular diseases and arteriosclerosis. In other words, high blood pressure worsens with smoking. Pressure readings consist of two numbers: the upper number is the systolic pressure indicator and the lower number is the diastolic pressure indicator. Systolic pressure is the pressure reading when heart contracts and propels blood forward in to the arteries. Diastolic pressure is the pressure of blood in arteries when heart relaxes after contraction. Blood pressure is measured with the help of a pressure cuff, and the upper number in pressure reading indicates systolic pressure and the lower number stands for diastolic pressure.

Systolic pressure is actually the pressure on artery walls when heart contracts and pushes blood forward in to arteries. Diastolic pressure is the pressure on artery walls, when the heart rests or relaxes after contraction. There are several drugs now available to treat unhealthy cholesterol levels in people. The best known being the HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor, more generally known as Statins. This group of cholesterol lowering drugs is increasingly being used to help higher risk patients lower their levels. The use of Satins can also increase the levels of HDL, the good cholesterol.

One of the very best ways to lower your hypertension is to stop smoking. Smoking has many health risks, the best known being lung cancer and other lung related illnesses. Not only does smoking cause blockages and the hardening of your arteries, it also raises your blood pressure. It has been proven that there is no such thing as "too late to quit smoking" and you will start to feel better as soon as you stop. One highly effective remedy that has also been proven as effective is the co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10). This is a naturally occurring compound that exists throughout your body. Over time, however, the natural levels of CoQ10 in your body decline, which helps to explain some age related illnesses such as Alzheimer's and high blood pressure.
