    About this ebook

    When you have high blood pressure you are going to find that overall you are not as healthy as if your blood pressure was within a normal range. Many people believe that you can’t have any say in what your blood pressure is going to be because it is something that is generically inherited, and that means that you have no say in the matter at all.There are several factors that claim that it might indeed be something that is passed down through genetics. This takes into account cases in which parents have high blood pressure, and their children grow up to also have high blood pressure. Because there is this common link, some people assume that it is all related to genetics, and there is nothing that you can do about it.However, there are several other factors that are at work here. When a person has an unhealthy lifestyle, they are going to be more likely to have high blood pressure. They are also going to be likely to pass their bad habits, when it comes to poor eating habits and poor exercise habits on to their children. If their children grow up to do the same things wrong that their parents did, they will indeed have high blood pressure.It is important to note that while blood pressure has a genetic link, this only means that some people will have a great tendency to develop it than others. If your parents had high blood pressure, that means that you are going to have a greater chance of having it. However, blood pressure is something that can easily be controlled, and something that can be fixed, if you start right away and do everything that you can. Even if you have a tendency to have high blood pressure, if you eat the right foods and get the right amount of exercise, you are going to be able to avoid that. If you are able to have a good diet that is not high in fat and if you exercise the proper amount, you are going to have a better chance of not having high blood pressure, even if it is in your genes.Remember that while you inherit a chance of having high blood pressure, you also inherit your parent’s bad habits that might have contributed to their high blood pressure. Do your best to break these habits for yourself so that your children will have an even better chance of not having to deal with high blood pressure.

      Blood Pressure and Alzheimer's: What’s the Connection?

      Alzheimer’s disease is something that is very scary. It is a gradual reduction of the way that you function, as far as your brain goes. You are basically going to become senile if you are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. You will forget things, you won’t be able to remember the faces of your family members, and you won’t be able to care for yourself as you get older. Most people who have Alzheimer’s are put into facilities where they can be cared for.

      Alzheimer’s is something that is very scary because there isn’t a lot of information out there to tell us how you can get it or where it comes from. And there certainly isn’t a miracle cure for Alzheimer’s. If you are going to get it, you probably will, and there might not be much that you can do about it.

      However, when it comes to high blood pressure, it might indeed be a contributing factor. This is mainly because high blood pressure does damage to everything in your body, including the way that your brain functions. If you can find some ways to keep your blood pressure down, you are going to have less of a chance of doing damage to your brain, and that might indeed keep you Alzheimer’s free.

      There are several things that you can do for yourself when it comes to getting your blood pressure down. First of all you should be sure that your diet is one that contributes to lower blood pressure. Fatty foods and rich creams have a higher chance of clogging your arteries, and if this happens, you are going to have your heart working harder to pump the blood through those clogged arteries. When your heart has to work harder, it is going to mean that you have high blood pressure. And, as everyone knows, this is not good for you overall.

      In order to keep your blood pressure down, make sure that you are eating foods that are low in fat and cholesterol. If you work with your doctor to develop a plan as far your eating goes, he or she will be able to take care of you and help you take care of yourself. Talking to your doctor in this case is important because your doctor is the person who knows the most about your health and how your body works and can monitor both your Alzheimer’s and your blood pressure.

      Blood Pressure and Parkinson's Disease: A Link?

      There are many things that people need to watch out for as they age. Parkinson’s Disease is something that you may have to deal with. It is a disease that there isn’t a lot known about, and it is a disease that is quite scary because there is no cure, and there is no way that you can recover. Parkinson’s causes very stiff body functions, which can be relieved by the drugs, but the drugs cause a lot of stammering, stuttering, and movement problems in general.

      Although there is no real cure for Parkinson’s, and there is no real way to say why exactly it occurs, or to stop it before it becomes a problem, there are many things that you can do to decrease your chances of getting it in the first place. One of these things is to take care so that you don’t have high blood pressure.

      Blood pressure is something that is a cause of many ailments, and in general it weakens the body and might make other diseases more prominent. In order to insure that your body is as healthy as it can be, you should take steps to help yourself control your blood pressure.

      There are several factors in lowering your
