Reduce Hypertension With The Combination Of Coconut Oil and Exercise Coconut oil also classified as a "super food" is very useful in hypertension . Its fatty acid combination is quite unique and hence can have a very positive effects on our health including better brain function, fat loss etc. Also we know that exercise plays a major role in controlling hypertension. So, researchers tested the effect of combination of both exercise training and daily coconut oil intake. Their research was based on whether the combination of coconut oil and exercise would restore baroreflex sensitivity and helps to reduce oxidative stress eventually reducing blood pressure or not. For their research they used spontaneously hypertensive rats. The experiment was conducted taking four groups of rats. One group was given saline and were not exposed to the exercise training protocol, second group was given coconut oil, third group was exposed to the exercise training and fourth group...

IVF Children More Prone To Arterial Hypertension Studies showed increased risk of developing arterial hypertension for Children conceived through assisted reproductive technologies along with other cardiovascular complications. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are a boon to millions and helped individuals and families who cannot conceive naturally. Among various ART methods the most common are in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. In these methods the gamete and embryo are exposed to a variety of environmental factors before implantation. Currently over six million children are conceived using ART worldwide. A study was done with around 50 healthy ART adolescents to access the circulatory system. Their ambulatory blood pressure, artery stiffness, plaque build-up and blood vessel function were measured. 45 age- and sex-matched control participants of similar body mass index, gestational age and maternal BMI, birth weight, smoking st...

Pediatric hypertension- A threat for Children Hypertension is estimated to affect more than 60% of the population and is the leading causes of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular accidents and end-stage renal disease. Although it is more common in adults, it also affects a large population of children. Hypertension affects nearly 5-6% of the pediatric population. Pediatric hypertension is a threat for children as it can cause long term health problems. High blood pressure or hypertension is increasingly becoming a major problem for children due to the growing incidence of obesity and metabolic disorders. Hypertension disturbs the cardio vascular system and puts the children at a high risk of heart disease , chronic disease and many more lately in life. Although children having hypertension are not at the immediate risk of heart attack or stroke like adults with hypertension but hypertension can still cause changes in a child’s body and results in many complica...

HYPERTENSION- Risk for people having fat concentration at abdominal area It is known that obesity is a risk factor for hypertension . Studies have also shown that several health issues like heart disease and cancer is due to the location of fat on a person's body. However the relationship between site-specific accumulation of fat and hypertension is not clear. For this purpose heart study was done for an average of 7 years with around 1000 patients to track development of hypertension. In this study systolic blood pressure of greater than or equal to 140, diastolic blood pressure of greater than or equal to 90 were considered. Imaging of patient’s visceral fat or fat located deep in the abdominal cavity like subcutaneous fat or visible fat over the body and lower body fat were also done. Around 30% of patients developed hypertension near the end of the study. It was observed that higher Body Mass Index(BMI) were associated with increased incidence of hypertensi...
