High Blood Pressure

What Are You Doing About Hypertension?

Article by Christian Goodman

The medical term for high blood pressure is ‘hypertension’. As a general rule, you’re considered to be ‘hypertensive’ if your blood pressure is consistently above the ideal 120/80. Some people are genetically predisposed for having high blood pressure, but there are other factors that often contribute to it, regardless of your genes.

To help you better understand high blood pressure, it’s a good idea to know what hypertension really is. When your blood pressure is taken, what’s actually being measured is the amount of pressure your blood is exerting against the walls of your blood vessels. Of course the higher the number, the more pressure is being forced against those walls.

Think of a balloon as it is being filled with water. You will see that the balloon stretches as more and more water is being put into it. As you continue to fill the balloon, you can see that the balloon is thinning out, and eventually stretch itself to the breaking point.

Same is true with your blood vessels. They can and will burst if you let your blood pressure get too high and remain there unchecked. Where the vessel bursts will determine the severity of the results. Vessels bursting in the brain will make you suffer a stroke. Vessels in the heart will make you suffer a heart attack or suffer complete Continue reading →

Mental Exercises For Alzheimer’s

Boost Your Brain And Maximize Your Memory

Use it or lose it! Mental exercises for Alzheimer’s are not only a powerful preventative measure, they can tone and build the brain and memory of an Alzheimer’s sufferer the way physical exercise tones and builds the body.

Mental exercises can slow down, halt, or even help to reverse the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Unfortunately, normal day to day living usually doesn’t give the neuron sharpening exercise you need.

The fact that mental exercises can bolster your brain has even been discovered by the press. The Daily Mail in England reports that volunteers aged 65 and over who did Continue reading →

Getting Rid Of Thrush Naturally

What is Thrush and How To Get Rid Of It

Thrush can have many causes and can be an embarrassing complaint to take to your health care provider. Thrush is an overgrowth of yeast and needs to be treated, but this does not mean rushing straight out and getting the drugs from the pharmacy. Thrush just loves to thrive in a moist environment, so one of the causes may be tight fitting clothing, especially if the clothing is made of synthetic fibers that than create a perfect breeding ground.

Thrush is classically found where there is persistent itching in the vaginal area of women, which is where it becomes something of an embarrassment as it makes going anywhere seem rather out of the question. Imagine trying to have dinner with friends when you can’t seem to sit still, because the persistent itch is causing you to squirm in your seat.

Don’t panic. Natural help is very closely at hand, and by following some simple steps the infection can be brought back under control. You will be able to stop it reoccurring as you will now know how to deal with it.

It is worth seeing a doctor to confirm that you do have a yeast infection, as you could actually make it worse if you are treating the wrong condition, but if Continue reading →

Most men out there are unhappy with the size of their members and hence, try to do whatever they can to turn the situation around.

Why Bodybuilders Hate Turbulence Training

All You Need Is 45 Minutes 3 Times a Week

Bodybuilders are not a fan of Turbulence Training. I don’t know why, but for some reason getting a workout done in less than 45 minutes really ticks them off.

I remember when I first tried out the Turbulence Training 2K3 workout from my TT for Fat Loss manual. It was in the dark and grungy downstairs weight room of System Fitness in the High Park area of Toronto – maybe you’ve even been there.

Anyways, that gym is full of bodybuilders. And hey, I have nothing against them, but they always gave me a hard time when I went in there and finished my supersets and entire workout so fast they didn’t even have time to finish training their biceps.

Perhaps you know how long and slow those bodybuilder isolation workouts are…well no one has time for those anymore.

But the bodybuilders would sit there with their weight belts on (why did they need a weight belt to do chest exercises?), sweatsuits, clown pants, and bloated bellies and Continue reading →
