Debt Linked With High Blood Pressure, Poor Health Among Young Adults: Study

Keep Weight Under Control Eating well is essential to maintaining healthy blood pressure, but even if you live on beans and bananas, extra pounds could harm you. In fact, one Italian study found that hypertension in overweight patients was a secondary condition, caused by the excess weight. In other words, once the weight was lost, the high blood pressure went with it. Stay Away From Salt Perhaps the best known advice for healthy blood pressure is maintaining a low sodium diet.

Poor Sleep Linked to High Blood Pressure in Teens

Daniels, pediatrician-in-chief at the Children’s Hospital in Denver and a spokesman for the American Heart Association, noted that the new study is preliminary, but “it does point to the direction that the next studies need to go to understand what less sleep and less efficient sleep mean in terms of blood pressure.” If the findings hold up, they could eventually influence school system schedules, Daniels said. Schools now start later in the morning for younger students and earlier for teenagers, he said. “But the changes in the diurnal patterns for adolescents make it harder for them to get up in the morning and to get to sleep at night. If we reorganize the day-night schedule for adolescents, that could make life easier for them and their parents,” he added. Dr. Richard D. Simon Jr., medical director of the Kathryn Severyns Dement Sleep Disorders Center in Walla Walla, Wash., said the study findings make biological sense.

Can Debt Raise Your Blood Pressure?

A two-point increase in diastolic blood pressure, for example, is associated with a 17 percent higher risk of hypertension and a 15 percent higher risk of stroke, the study says. Perceived stress, depression and general health were gauged by questioning participants, so those values are based on self-reported information. That means theyre a little fuzzy and prone to error. Blood pressure, though, was actually measured so the scariest part of this study is likely the most accurate, even if it only included young adults.

Afterschool nutrition and activities improve educational success

While healthy activities and proper nutrition benefit physical health, they also impact mental health and childrens success in school. A nourished body means a nourished mind, and several studies show children who dont get the proper nutrition can experience difficulties focusing, socializing and learning in the classroom. It is imperative that children have access to healthy nutrition options, and are introduced to physical fitness routines at an early age, says Jackie Thurnau, early childhood and afterschool specialist, YMCA of the USA . A few simple strategies can help give kids the nutrition they need while encouraging healthy, active play afterschool. Y afterschool programs, for example, promote healthy eating, a love for learning, and social and emotional development while complementing lessons learned during the school day. According to Thurnau, the Y is offering an Afterschool Meal Program in partnership with the Walmart Foundation throughout the 2013-14 school year to serve 3.5 million meals and snacks. At 1,400 sites nationwide, school-age children enrolled in the program will receivenutritious food along with learning enrichment activities to be healthy and succeed in school. In addition, Y Afterschool Programs are implementing healthy eating and physical activity standards in early learning and afterschool programs.

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) August 20, 2013 Skin imperfection is a blanket term used to describe any flaw of the complexion. The word can denote problems like expression lines, skin discoloration, stretch marks and other types of irregularities on skin’s appearance or texture. Even very slight skin imperfections can be embarrassing and distressing for women, and as a result, skin care companies offer hundreds of products that claim to repair these types of flaws. Not all of these products live up to their promises, making it difficult for women to find the right formulas for the needs of their skin.

ADHD and Sleep Disorders

Children who snore tend to score worse on tests of attention, language abilities, and overall intelligence. Some studies have shown that taking out the tonsils and adenoids may result in better sleep and improved behavior without the need for medications. Sleep Apnea People with sleep apnea have brief episodes when they stop breathing, though they don’t know it. These episodes can happen frequently throughout the night. Enlarged tonsils and adenoids are the most common causes of sleep apnea in children. But obesity and chronic allergies can also be a cause. As with adults, children with sleep apnea will be tired during the day. They may have problems concentrating and might have other symptoms related to lack of sleep.

Sleep disorders: Understanding and curing

Simple steps “The power of deep sleep is enormous for countering stress and boosting immunity,” agrees Abdel Hadi Mesbah, professor of immunology and professor of the American Academy of Immunology. “We always advise finding out the reason that is keeping you awake as a first step, and if you find out that the problem is not true insomnia which needs treatment, certain measures can prove useful.” Hadi Mesbah advises sufferers to orient their sleeping position so that their head points to the north and feet to the south, as this comes in harmony with the magnetic field of the earth, providing the body with maximum energy, and helps to achieve a higher level of comfort and relaxation. He also stresses the importance of not going to bed unless you have the urge to sleep, and if you are not asleep after thirty minutes, engaging in some other activity that is soothing and relaxing. Other tips offered include: setting a fixed time for getting into and out of bed and not using the bed for anything except for sleeping, for example reading or watching television.

Vegan ‘Biggest Loser’ star Bob Harper: Diet beats exercise for weight loss

Natural Weight Loss Tips | How “Natural Weight Loss Code” Helps People Burn Fat Effectively – V kool

19. “I used to think a long time ago that you can beat everything you eat out of you, and it’s just absolutely not the case.” It’s a sentiment echoed by almost all fitness experts, who insist that no matter what type of diet a person follows, achieving a calorie deficit is what matters when it comes to weight loss. However, Harper underscores that exercise plays a critical role in overall fitness. Bob is a fan of CrossFit , a strength and conditioning program that combines weightlifting, sprinting and body-weight exercises done at high intensity. While many people think CrossFit is only for the super-fit, Harper says the program can help morbidly overweight people slim down and tone up. “I’m working with people who are 500 pounds and doing Crossfit on a regular basis,” he said.
