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...

Causes Of Hypertension

Image
Causes Of Hypertension Hypertension , also called high blood pressure is a long term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is frequently elevated. The force with which blood is pushed against the walls of blood vessel is blood pressure. When the blood pressure rises measurement rises above the normal range then it is a condition of high blood pressure, also called hypertension, which is considered as a dangerous condition as in this condition heart have to work harder to pump blood. It also leads to hardening of arteries, stroke, heart failure , loss of vision, kidney disease, sexual problems and many more. The exact cause of hypertension is still not known but it can be caused due to various reasons like: Smoking - smoking of cigarette is one of the major causes of hypertension. Nicotine increases the blood pressure and damages the blood vessel. It increases the heart rate and hence cause the arteries to narrow and constrict. If the blood flow tha...
