Reduce Hypertension With The Combination Of Coconut Oil and Exercise


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 was given both coconut oil and exercise training.
In the result they found that both second and third group were able to reduce weight gain compared to first group of rats that were given saline and were not exposed to the exercise training protocol. It was proved that either coconut oil supplementation or exercise training reduced blood pressure. However only the fourth group that was given combined coconut oil and exercise training was able to bring the pressure back to normotensive values.
The result hence obtained might explain the improvement of the reduced baroreflex sensitivity and by the reduction in oxidative stress in the serum, heart and aorta.
The finding of this research is very important and useful as coconut oil is being consumed for healthy lifestyle by a large population. Coconut oil has a long list of benefits and can be proved very useful for hypertensive patients.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a leading contributor to heart disease and stroke, two diseases which together account for 1 in 5 premature deaths (under age 65). In the past decade, the prevalence of hypertension has increased by 11%. Today, over 1 in 4 adults (estimated 1.8 million people) report having hypertension. Diagnosing and treating high blood pressure with lifestyle counselling and with the right medications can prevent hospital admissions, heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and premature death. Although genetics plays a role, it is clear that lifestyle and diet are a major component. It is often a silent manifestation of underlying untreated medical, behavioural or social conditions. Education, periodic early screening and lifestyle modification significantly delay and even prevent the onset of the disease. Realizing the importance to explore latest research advancements in Hypertension treatment, Cardiology Conference series is organizing the 5 th Inter

Can Renal Denervation control Resistant Hypertension??

Can Renal Denervation control Resistant Hypertension?? It is well known fact that if hypertension is not treated on time then it can turn into resistant hypertension. Resistant hypertension refers to the condition where blood pressure remains high even after taking three antihypertensive agents of different classes. After various studies it has been seen that renal denervation can lower the blood pressure in hypertensive Patients who are not taking medications. Renal denervation is less painful, endovascular catheter based procedure which uses radio frequency or ultrasound ablation. This procedure removes the nerves in the wall of renal artery by radio frequency pulses or ultrasound. Due to this there is reduction of afferent and efferent activity to the kidney and as a result blood pressure can be reduced. Basically renal denervation provides energy to the kidney nerves and regulates the blood pressure. Studies were conducted to check the efficacy of the t

Uric acid level responsible for increase in blood pressure

Uric acid level responsible for increase in blood pressure High Blood Pressure also known as Hypertension , is one of the most common and long-term medical problem faced by people today. High blood pressure refers to the persistent elevation of blood pressure in arteries. It can be classified as Primary and Secondary Hypertension. Hypertension has now become one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. The chances of getting hypertension becomes higher with age, which results in increase mortality rate due to events such as heart failure , myocardial infraction , stroke etc. The level of uric acid plays a major role in controlling blood pressure. Various studies have found uric acid’s association with hypertension . Uric acid is waste product which is the result of food metabolism. The amount of uric acid in our body should be maintained. When the amount of uric acid in our body builds up then it can lead to increase in blood pressure. Too much increase in level of u
